Official Match Thread Southend Utd 4-0 Canvey Island

[Murkey_Mouse]

Ted Smith will start at Canvey with mixed first team, reserve & some trailist. I will be at Park Lane as its only 8 minutes drive from my place in Benfleet, who is going?

 

[Ricey]

No trialists?

 

[manor15]

Big chance for Williams tonight, even if only a pre-season friendly.

Given that no trialists are starting tonight, or against West Ham, doesn't seem Brown is holding out too much hope for them.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Yep, Jason William big chance and he must put more efforts on the pitch!!

 

[Tampa Blue]

I wonder if we intend going with a smaller squad this season whilst maximising the loan system and supporting that from the U21 squad?

As long as we can get a couple of decent forwards in, either full time or on loan, then I am pretty certain that the core of last seasons squad is good enough for a top half finish.

Looks like Brown persisting with one up front at most:'(

1-0

Jason Williams scores volley.

MrsBlue will be relieved :smile:

2-0 Bridge

He doesn't have much choice! No chance of playing 2 up front and them both playing 90 minutes at this stage of pre-season.

Fair comment

3-0, Williams again. Maybe mrsblue was right all along...

 

[Jam_Man]

3-0 Williams gets his second from Westons cross.

 

[Ricey]

It will be interesting hearing people's views who were at the game afterwards on his performance.

Not sure scoring a couple of goals means Williams is now the pacy player we were promised.

Not fussed how mobile he is if he scores goals.

 

[manor15]

Half time 3-0, seems a decent effort so far

Indeed, though nothing wrong with him being anonymous if he pops up with the odd goal. Does seem to have much more of an impact against lower level opposition, though he's yet to really get a chance against better quality sides, perhaps a half or so against Dagenham would be a real test for him.

Can't complain about Barry Corr's return for us and he was far from mobile or pacey!

Indeed, pace is always nice to have but its never been the be all and end all.

Let's not get carried away, it's only canvey. I'd be delighted to see him come on well this season but I'm not going to get over excited about a brace against this lot.

 

[Pubey]

We always knew Williams could cut it at non-league level. The question is if he can cut it in the league. This game doesn't do much to answer that.

 

[Ricey]

You know who he reminds me of and I think he will end up down the same path.... Charles Ademeno.
