Official Match Thread Southend United vs Peterborough United

[Barling Magna]

Posh have one chance and they take it. We've had six shots and we can't score...........

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Surely we win this

 

[MisterStubbs]

Dominate game and concede first goal.. Story of our season so far. Someone remind me why Shawn McGoalsky isn’t playing today?

 

[blues exile]

Already paid the price for selecting Cox, who sent a tame effort into the goalkeeper's arms just now.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

I’m sorry but Cox just doesn’t look like scoring

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I’m not sure McCoulsky wouldn’t be bullied by the WWE giants Peterborough have at the back, if he started. He may be better coming off the bench when they start to tire. Let’s see.

Playing a lot better than we did against Charlton at least....currently 15th

 

[Dubai]

I’d rather Cox than Hopper.

 

[Arch]

We look quite good listening to the radio

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

For me, a win today would be a big achievement given all that’s gone on with absentees from the team. From what we’ve seen so far, we’re capable of winning this game.

Tafazolli seems like a dirty git. Right up Evans’ street

A win would be a huge achievement. Tony Cottee saying we still look the better of the two teams.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Great play by Hopper there.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Really disappointing that we conceded, because otherwise we’ve done well. A few lads clearly out of form in front of goal but they will get there sooner or later

Let's hope he does not leave sub's to late as cp usually does

Agreed. I’m a fan of CP but I think his substitutions could be more decisive; either sooner or just more positive. Taking Hopper off against Charlton was a mistake I hope he won’t make again unless he has no option.

We need to start converting those shots on target!!

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

Typical Steve Evans team. Tall, strong, big, dirty, diving, cheating.
We started well, especially Bunn. But they're much the better team and we aren't playing as a unit.
Ref bottled giving us a clear penalty, massive shirt pull and should have been given.
I Don't usually get wound up with teams but these lots are horrible

 

[Cricko]

Our finishing is dire.
