Official Match Thread Southend Utd V Leyton Orient

Cox shot parried...............falls to Leonard who puts it into the side netting rather than the back of the net!:sad:

Cheers , much appreciated :thumbsup:

BBC ESSEX frequencies.....95.3FM;.... 729, 765 & 1530MW.
When I have been a couple of Counties away from Essex, I used 765 MW a few times for Southend commentary. Might be worth a try if you have a radio.

Wordsworth shot ....deflection for corner..........comes to nothing.

 

[South Bank Hank]

David Webb there ?...earlier threads said he was going to pop along :unsure:

Yes, front row of directors box behind Southend dugout.

Southend definitely ahead in terms of chances. Innis came close with a couple of headers (should have done better) while O'Neill and Leonard could also have put us ahead. Much better game from Innis despite those missed headers - looking dominant. Only danger from the Os were a couple of mid-range free kicks that were comfortably dealt with.

If one player going to step up in 2nd half, it's King as he look like our weak links, so a massive improvement in 2nd half from him, if he wanted to get back into the side, think we need McLaughlin on after 60 mins!

Last corner was very clever from us, fooled Orient defence but Cox blasted it over :facepalm:

I would get Bridge on down the left and Atko in the middle, go 4-4-2.

 

[Polish_Blues]

Yeah, use width more!

 

[South Bank Hank]

And the half starts with two great chances for a Orient. One a header that went over the bar, the other a GREAT save by Oxley.

 

[manor15]

Is it a 5-3-2 with White at centre back and O'Neill on the right? Seriously?

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Orient started 2nd half better. Bood call for a penalty for a tug on Inniss..........referee doesn't give it.

 

[Pubey]

Is it a 5-3-2 with White at centre back and O'Neill on the right? Seriously?

it wouldn't be a Brown 2016 formation without at least 2 right backs on the pitch

 

[Shrimper]

Playing defensive against a team struggling in League Two, whilst at home.

Phil Brown, never change.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

McLaughlin replaces Wordsworth..............Atkinson on for ...........bit of farce............in the end it's King off

We put two right backs on at half time without taking one off. Of course he's petrified.

'Fortuné misses the ball' - just what you want from your new striker...

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Fortune misses a sitter.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Commentator saying that we've put little pressure on Orient...........and thay there doesn't appear to be a division between the two teams.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

At last we seem to be applying a bit of pressure.
