Quite a defensive set up then which surprises me

After letting in 4, probably no surprise, Rea holding midfielder and Leonard getting forward. More worried about fitness of Barrett and Coker. Strong looking bench but we do miss Timlin.

Call me a cynic but starting Rea looks to be purely for getting his loan renewed. Would have expected Deegan.

You cynic you:sad:

Just one change, and its defensive. No surprise really. After our other heavy defeats he did the same. Thought McLaughlin and Deegan were sure to start, and thought Barrett needed a rest. Wouldn't be upset with a boring 1-0 today though

 

[spoons]

Come on Southend, a win today confirms our chance of the playoffs and good start to the New a Year.

I was hoping the same as you thought; seems Worral is being blamed for the Millwall defeat!!

I don't see it as overly defensive. More that is solid at the back allowing the forward players to do their stuff.

 

[Alexshrimper]

4-3-1-2 not sure how that is defensive?

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Two early corners for the visitors........dealt with.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

In PB we trust

 

[kentblues]

Rea starting probably indicates he is staying

 

[Pubey]

Col U concede the first goal of the 3pm KOs.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

What odds on :pig: coming on with 10 mins to go ?

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Danger signs there again. Doncaster have had the chances so far. Not a passing game according to the commentators, not pretty...........Tyson causing us problems. As I type, Southend mounting a better response.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Come on you Shrimpers :happy: :happy: :happy:
