physical condition of SUFC
I have been very impressed the fitness and strength of some League One teams - Wimbledon, shrewsbury etc. I think our players give pretty much all they have got but how much have they got ?

Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-0 Bury
Beyond poor. Whole game was lacking in quality beyond belief other than one moment from Ryan Leonard which decided the game. Other than that, you'll find better at Priory Park tomorrow. Pitch means we couldn't get it down and play and the wind meant we couldn't go long, and Bury were the same...- manor15

Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-1 Peterborough United
Very entertaining game which could really have gone either way. Can't help but feel that they were there for the taking and they'll likely feel the same. Slow start but could have put the game to bed, poor defending for their goal after a wrong call by the ref on the throw-in and we seemed to...- manor15

Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 2-1 Blackpool
What an end to an entertaining game! Blackpool were better than Wimbledon and we rode our luck at times again, but Cox playing further forward was much improved and got him his goal and we never gave up. Some were flagging towards the end but that's to be expected given how recently they've come...- manor15

Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-0 AFC Wimbledon
Hard fought but a good win. We started superbly, then lost control and were perhaps a tad fortunate to go in at half time at 0-0. Second half we were solid, didn't really have much of a goal threat and were lucky with the goal but it was the kind of ball into the box that we haven't seen enough...- manor15

Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-1 Plymouth Argyle
Got to be winning games like that. Very frustrating as first half was almost one way traffic only for our concentration to go after half time again. Poor defending and would have been a defeat if it weren't for Mark Oxley. Fortune was running on fumes yet PB took Cox off and that hugely limited...- manor15

Brilliant ending on a very frustrating afternoon. Both teams had slow starts but we grew into it and had quite a few chances.

Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-1 Bristol Rovers
Would have taken that at the start of the afternoon. Yet another set piece conceded which is worrying and we really didn't threaten going forwards so had a bit of luck to get the penalty and Cox did well to convert. Tactics frustrating, Brown's decisions were a little questionable for me, the...- manor15

Q How concerning have their last couple of results been? The defeat at Southend seemed particularly surprising. When looking at our last 10 league fixtures, we lie 18th in the form table.

Same old, same old as we dominate and lose again. Almost identical to Brighton only we had even better chances and dominated more and their goal didn't come so late on.

It seems Graham Westley doesn't like it when teams get physical with his Stevenage team. I guess he's reaping what he sews.
