Official Match Thread Southend United v Salford City

[OrangeyBrown]

Not in terms of the job he does but technically as a footballer...wow

Still think that's very harsh. It was only last game where he scored a beautiful volley and played a good cross-field pass to set up our 2nd.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Fairchild had been decent defensively. Just wish he mixed it up in his attacking play. Very predictable cutting in onto his left peg every time

 

[Strykr]

Whilst RHF was a bit lacking going forward defensively he was great

Yeah his defensive midfielding was notable today.

Control was a bit pants at times tho..

 

[united we stand]

We are now very hard to score against , which is a massive positive

 

[OllieSteph44]

So why was he played? Unlikely shrimpet forced MM

Simply a needs must. You take calculated risks in order for short term gains. Same as when Dru was rushed back, Hopper was rushed back....and no different to one of the youngsters being thrown in before being ready....

Time for afternoon refreshments.....I meant replenishments ? ? ? ?

Ranger - Waste of time. Get out of our club

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Very good point for us. Salford will probably be gutted not to have all 3

 

[sufc4life21]

I actually think that good point considering the players coming off due to injuries. Salford are decent side who I expect will probably make push for the top 3 with the talented players they have.

A couple of months back we would of caved in

 

[MisterStubbs]

It’s a good point solely because Barrow and Grimsby both lost. No real attacking threat second half. The Ranger experiment was a waste of time. Young Seaden impressive. Can we play away every week?

 

[Derbyshire Blue]

A good point and we’ve proven hard to beat again, teams will start to think twice about just having to turn up against us to take three points.

 

[NZamba Legend]

Whilst RHF was a bit lacking going forward defensively he was great

Yeah, definitely. Last 5 mins especially. Plus even though he wasn't having a good game he never hid and his work rate was first class

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Let's hope FGR react to Wednesday by giving ColU a tonking in the evening match as well

 

[geoffmundo]

Another clean sheet and a vital point towards safety (also stopped the rot of those successive home defeats). Cheltenham will be tough.

 

[Paddington Blue]

We missed KT in the 2nd half as an attacking threat but our midfield was looking leggy so I think MM was right to make the substitution

Agreed, tracking back and support at the back was good I thought.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

We owe a lot to Seaden today. Great save and a great punch under pressure

 

[kentblues]

Fair result- as I feared went with same team and they ran out of steam. Compounded by subs on far too late.

That said a valuable point. Suspect some changes will be forced for Tues now rather than planned- a few knocks and tired legs.

Forget the who’s older- Seadon looked more secure and has very decent distribution. Hopefully he will keep has place as he looked neither phased or nervous- looks much older than he is too!

We did. Macca was pretty crap today. And I love Macca.
