at least barrington belgrave scored goals. he was better for us then harrold is for us now. Harrold is a useless ****e and everyone has their opinions and i agree with J on this issue

 

[Alex]

Oh yes, and Barrington Belgrave in League 2 scored a massive 8 league goals in 38 starts and 17 sub appearances for Southend.

You can put all the effort you like, but if you are not good enough, you are not good enough...and Harrold is one of these people!!

 

[Tilly N Brush]

and how many has harrold scored in what i imagine is a lot more appearances in his career

 

[rowhst101rhall]

Just like he doesn't deserve his prolonged run in the first team.

 

[ozzy-shrimper]

Puts the effort in..can't score. Harrold Is Awful.

 

[silentshrimper]

Because we let Foran go over a week ago and MacDonald picked up his injury this week... ;)

No I just mean in general why did we let him go, never given a chance etc etc.

Sorry Alex, but you're way off the mark here.

I wasn't at the game, fine, but the fact the radio mentioned his name about 4 times in the 1st half tells me everything I need to know about how much he contributed. If he was winning flick-ons etc then it would've been mentioned.

The thing is, as you well know, I've long been a supporter of his. It's simply that the time has come to recognise he needs a break from the team. Stick him in the reserves and see what happens. He's not scored in the league in over a year. He's missed two penalties in a row. He's simply not contributing enough to the team to make up for this.

Btw - you're bit on the 50-50 stuff for pens would mean that 1 in 4 are missed/saved. Probably not right there!

The reasons listed above are why people were questioning his place in the team even before the 1st half had finished - which, despite not being there, we were perfectly entitled to do.

Right I have read some of your comments on here about Matt Harrold and your a ****ing joke. From the timing of your posts its clear you didnt go today so how do you know he played crap. He didnt play crap. The rest of the team did. Only Hunt and Harrold put any real effort in.

I went today and although he didnt have the greatest of games he played ok. Stikers will be judged on goals scored and he isnt getting that many, thats because a) he is at times unlucky and b) he isnt given the chances. Today he worked hard yet again but the midfield and his strike partner were very poor. He isnt Freddy Eastwood thats going to create his own chances, he is a team player. We lacked width and we didnt once get down the wing and cross a ball in the box in the 2nd half. Also the team couldnt manage to play a decent through ball.

Harrold missed a penalty today, so what. He did what he needed to do and get it on target. Once its on target you have a 50-50 chance of the keeper going the right way, than you about a 50-50 chance of the keeper saving it. Yes he missed a penalty against Rochdale but he also scored one at Blackpool and another against Rochdale and he also scored a couple in pre -season. Players miss penalties and in recent years we have been spoilt by the amount of penalties we have scored. Some of the great penalty takers in history have missed, Alan Shearer, what a great penalty take he was but he missed now and again.

People fail to see the build up play he helps in. For instance today he ran to the ball on the left wing, with his back to goal and with a nice touch and turn sold the defender and switched the ball to the on rushing Lewis Hunt on the right wing. Also he came to the ball with his back to goal, controlled the ball on his chest and overheaded it to another Southend Player in box.

Many Southend fans at Luton today were a ****ing bunch of tossers. Every time Harrold got the ball in the 1st half they booed him. For **** sake he is a Southend player, support and encourage him. Then the in the second half when he got the ball he was sarcastically cheered.

Just image the pressure he is under every time he plays when our fans are turning against him. If this keeps happening his confidence will completely dissappear and he will be a ruined man. He doesnt deserve it. Get behind him, encourage and he will start finding the back of the net.

blah blah blah harrold is god end of...........................

[MrB]

I wish I could, she treads her own path and unfortunately your on it. You can cope, be thankful you're not out tonight, she's wasted.

It's simple:

1.Harrold is lacking confidence having not scored for over a year and having now missed two pens BUT.... he was by far our best striker in pre-season games. Tilly HAD to give him the opportunity based on that.

2. Charlie is injured, Foran has gone, Clarke and Morgan not available, Hooper laso lacking confidence.

3. With Gower out ill and Black not producing the goods atm, there is little creativity in the midfield - so chances are few and far between. THIS PUTS EXTRA PRESSURE ON PLAYERS LOW ON CONFIDENCE cos they know they HAVE TO SCORE cos they might not get another chance all game.

4. We had no other available strikers, would you rather we started with Hooper and Francis up front? or play the very effective England style 4-5-1 :-(

Let's get real guys, we haven't got a Cristiano Ronaldo to create things so we do what we can. Maybe, In January we can get in a more creative player but it won't be a Brazilian International, it'll be someone who's not getting the chance elsewhere - so it's always a gamble.
