tough game and Swindon put up a good fight... we were rubbish in the first half but turn the screw in the 2nd and were good for the win. a lot of improvement in all areas is needed if we want to challenge for promotion but the weather was a leveller and so the 3 points were the main thing today
collis - 7 - dodgy parry for their goal, should have put it anywhere except infront of their striker, but otherwise was solid
hunt - 7 - some brilliant interceptions and was very solid in the back, was let down without a proper right midfielder in front though and so really didn't get into the came attack-wise
clarke - 7.5 - worked like a dog, positionally was quality and strong in the air
barrett - 7.5 - lost his man for the early goal but redeemed it with a classic barrett goal at the other end... was sad to see him injured and forced to leave
hammell - 5 - a shocker for hammell, although an assist for the 1st. the slippery conditions forced him to be even more one footed and the amount of decent attacks that broke down through him was criminal... needs to step up his game
gower - 7 - great goal at the end, and got into the game but in the 1st half was woeful... needs to hit the ground running
bailey - 7 - also struggled in the first half but was probably our smartest player and built some promising moves with morgan especially
maher - 7.5 - sloppy in giving the ball away for their first goal but his effort and workrate was staggering, also was a ronaldinho moment when he beat two players... probably doubling the amount of "skins" he has in his career!!!
mccormack - 6- was average today, passing was way off and at times didn't seem to know where he was supposed to be... i like in principle having 3 CM's but it needs working on if Tilly insists on sticking with it
leon clarke - 8 - even in attrocious conditions everything stuck to him, had a number of close efforts including Van Basten style shot from an acute angle which cracked the bar
morgan - 7 - was the first time i saw him and a bit of an enigma IMO. he worked hard and put in some excellent crosses, but isn't a striker in my opinion and was a long way from leon a lot of the time
subs:
EDIT : richards - 6 - didn't really have to do much, when he did he did it with his usual no nonsence style
macdonald - 7.5 - looked sharp and dangerous when he came on, got a good pat on the back from Tilly at the end
also:
paynter - 7 - probably his best game for southend, broke the swindon play down really well
ref - 7 - let the game flow pretty well and didn't put up with timewasting nonsence
