The Passing Game
Thought Friday night just shows you how effective you can be by passing rather than hoofing!! Great display especially in the second half. Hursts cross for Tomlins first was sublime. More of the same please.. P.S. Happy Christmas to all. MR G- MR G

How do you defend a lead with 10 minutes to go?
Perhaps we could share the benefit of our wisdom ............ :winking: I think there is only one way ....... to continue to play in the same method that got you the lead in the first place!

Hoof Ball
Why oh why are we regularly hoofing the ball up to our front two, instead of playing it along the ground? 9 out of 10 teams in this league hoof the ball but I honestly thought Sturrock would tell the players to keep it on the ground. For points during the game we looked decent playing it...- sufc_dave

Stevenage Managers Take on Sending Off - Farcical!!!
Go on to the BBC Match report and listen to the Stevenage Manager's interpretation of the game and the tackle on Cloughessy - the man must be on drugs!!

Please stop the awful hoofing!!!
I think (maybe wrong) we have players who can keep the ball on the ground so why nearly every time we get the ball in defence the whole of our midfield turn their backs to the player and run away? Also when a midfielder gets the ball he looks up to find everyone static. The movement of the side...- WESTY_SUFC

Deja Vu

People's ideas of Attacking /defending
After reading most posts of this season on here , and especially last night , something has got me a little baffled. On how people judge a good defender/ forward. For a start my take on defending is as long as you clear your lines and don't let anything past you,then if the ball ends up over...- duncan bulgaria

This is what needs to be done
We need to bring Cole back asap. Hunt, Francis and Clarke are NOT midfielders, so dont play them there. Hammell needs to be dropped. His distribution from the back is terrible. Gower needs to be moved from the flank. He is very creative but his crossing tonight was shocking. I think he could do...- Alex

Southend v. Tranmere
Erm... am I missing something here, or has no one managed to put up a match report for our 0-0 draw at Tranmere? Oh well... not much to report, really.

On the rampage - match report
A game of two halves. Dodgy first half, too much hoofing it out of defence and hoping that Gray or Goater would get on the end of it. Nathan Jones got a nice reception, his constant back chat to the ref earned him the crowds ire. A dodgy reffing decision lead to a free kick, which unfortunately...- Southendsleeper

Dudders roasted em today,
Lincoln were full of 6 foot 6 plus stick insects so what do we do, lump it in the air. As soon as Dudfield comes on he whips round the back of them and looks dangerous.

The home match against Boston last season was the match when I made my “debut” as an official SZ reporter. We lost that game 2-0 and the atmosphere afterwards resembled that of a funeral.
