Official Match Thread Southend United vs Harrogate Town

[Shrimper]

Thanks Ron

 

[Bratislava Blue]

That was shocking, embarrassing, awkward, unexpected.... I am lost for words. I only listened to last Saturday's game and you can't compare the performance of some individuals. Hutchinson , Green, Elvis,, Oxley......

I have no idea what will happen this season....

Not chosen the best of days to have given up alcohol....

I have supported this club for sixty years and that fourth goal was the worst I have ever seen us concede!

Desperately trying to remember the game where Mel Capleton picked up a back pass, and the free-kick was hammered into his net.
I seem to remember he admitted he had forgotten the rule.
But yeah, this was one probably tops it for the way Hobson gave up.
I hope Chris Phillips asks him about it.

Entirely predictable - couldn't believe that Harrogate were not favourites before the game! If the embargo isn't lifted next week its non league guaranteed

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Thanks Ron

Again: how was Ron to blame for two of the four goals?

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Oxley to be the next one to ask for a transfer.

Please please please let this be true

He's the reason we're in this ****ty predicament. He is as guilty for what happens on the pitch as the managers frankly. A massive dereliction of duty

It's got to be lifted otherwise we're wound up. Even if we survive and it is lifted, I fear panic signings and no improvement

I'm wound up already

I don't remember a game where I can't point to a single positive, even saying something nice about the kit to lighten the mood I can't be bothered with.

I shouldn't worry.... Believe me, none of us on here are feeling high after that result.

His biggest mistake was appointing Kevin Bond.
That's where it started.
And hindsight being what it is, Bond saved us from a relegation.
Even so, blame Mr M for that appointment, not today's sack of s***.

He also should have appointed a CEO or DOF to deal with the signings and not gone after geriatrics.

Approach another team's manager without clearance maybe the gods won't smile on you?

 

[Blueshrimper]

Again: how was Ron to blame for two of the four goals?

Putting together a squad of players that isn't suitable to the level of competition?

Do you want him back?

 

[teabee1]

Possibly the worst performance I have ever seen... unbelievably inept. Also quite unbelievable after last week.

Did we?

Hope you doubt grow grapes because they would be sour

 

[Tommy2holes]

That is possibly the worst performance from any Southend side I have ever seen. Given that we are southend and I've been going nearly 30 years, it's a big worry.

Harrogate aren't a good side. Just a solid well organised unit that showed a willingness to win.

I have no idea what to honestly think after that result
