View from the Orient

[Lord Griff]

obviously I am gutted to concede such a late goal, as we so desperately need a win....but to say we were outplayed is an understatement.

And to be outplayed by the poorest Southend team I have seen for a LONG time says how bad we are.

If we had lost 2 or 3-1 we couldnt have complained, such was you dominance in the 2nd period.

That said, we did create the better openings in the first half and perhaps could have gone in with more than a 1 goal lead.

I would say that it is the worst professional game, in terms of standard, that I have seen for many a year, but clearly that is down to a severe lack of conficence (and ability) on our part and a severe injury crisis with your mob.

I was impressed with Walker when he came on and Moussa played well IMO. The rest were distinctly average, which is far superior to anything we had on show.

We are doomed, I am sure of that. Southend will follow next season, if investment isn't forthcoming....

Spot on alas

A fair summary, pretty poor show.

 

[AdamTheShrimper]

Spot on.....

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Agreed, it was a terrible game .. but we deserved the point for the effort we put in

And that goal more than makes up for the Ooze last minute leveller last season

 

[Beefy]

I thought that there was a lot of character on display tonight but sadly not a huge amount of ability.

 

[Mr Wooly]

I thought that there was a lot of character on display tonight but sadly not a huge amount of ability.

I think that sums the game up perfectly. The only person who showed any ounce of composure on the ball tonight was Moussa.

Fantastic goal from Walker though, probably the best I've seen this season from a Southend perspective.

 

[Hazey]

Fair and even way to sum it all up, thanks.

That's a coincidence. I thought it was the poorest Orient team I'd ever seen. We were slightly better, but, worryingly, not that much.

LG didn't mean it as an insult, Mick, merely a statement of fact. You were awful, we were worse. 1:1 was a flattering result for both sides; -1:-1 would have been fairer. Utter trash on all parts, with the exception of Moussa, who I thought was excellent.

 

[seany t]

Just saw the goals on SSNews. They were both very good though eh?

Two quality finishes, granted. The rest of the match was utterly dire without a semblance of quality. Toilet.

I had to visit it on a few occasions. I'm blaming your cheeseburgers...

No more did I; mine was also a statement of fact. Seemed more like a League Two match to me.

I think you're doing League 2 a dis-service

In that case the highlights will look good!

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Spot on Lord Griff. Two teams who will be in the bottom 8 come May, maybe bottom 4.

 

[mattytheshrimper]

thought the game was in the air the whole game, over all a very poor match.

walkers best performance though.

Give it seven months... Walker's goal papered over a lot of cracks, we were truly appalling and if Ron doesn't get his cheque book out we will be relegated.
