Official Match Thread Torquay United v Southend United

[Thundersley Blue]

Now I am sure Brown has lost the plot. Has said he is 3 at the back to protect Coulson, so why he is playing ? Egbri at wing back ?? I fear the worst, but really hope I am wrong.

Lolos starts for Torquay, suspect he could prove dangerous for our defence.

 

[Fairport]

Disappointed to see Atkinson and Egbri starting, they have been totally ineffective so far this season. Surely the pace of Walsh or Dennis would have provided a different option.

 

[Blue Yonder]

Atkinson, Egbri and Coulson are not up to it. Better players ostracised and isolated. Really disappointed at the way this is going this time around with PB. Hopefully I’m wrong and he is the professional and I’m not and he sees what goes on at training and I don’t.

Was very much pro Brown, but every week gets worse.

I've no problem at all with 5 at the back at all, but STOP CALLING THE PLAYERS OUT and KEEP PICKING THEM. ffs :(

Where is Rush? Where is Walsh? Howard? Still got no legs in that side.

Fearing the worst again today, could be a mauling.

I'm not actually that mad at the system. Just feel sorry for Walsh & Rushy, but most importantly Harry Phillips. He must really be scratching his head

Another crap game this guy never listens how many managers have gone with 5 at the back 442 stick with it

Anyone found the link?

Brown - "Three at the back to protect one or two, I won't say who"

Also Brown, 20 seconds later - "it's to protect Coulson."

Interesting one that. As I'm sure on a video on the club twitter page you could see his shirt hanging up in the changing room?

Do you not understand from Tuesday Coulson cant play in a 4? I can see an argument to go with White/Hobson in a 4 like a lot of times we did in good spells last season, but think Coulson brings a lot to the side that they dont, but he is slower than a bus.

4 was a disaster on Tuesday. Dont want to see that again until we get some more bodies in.

Great picture

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

That team is so slow. Most goals conceded this season have been from a player sprinting past one of our slow defenders and crossing the ball on the ground to an unmarked on rushing player.
