Must be getting close to Moncur o’clock. Really need a bit of spark in midfield here to try and make things happen.

I'm not there, but comments suggest Waldron and Coker are offering little, as per Tuesday, which I did see.
Is that accurate, or are they doing OK?

Coker is tidy but isn’t the creative spark we lack (not yet anyway), and Waldron is working as hard as ever, but him and Cards are feeding off scraps really.

Attendance: 2,932 with 1,603 from Southend

SUFC have over half the crowd .... amazing TBH

Change coming

Good cross by Coker, Cards wins the header but it doesn't quite reach Waldron.

 

[Ingrave Shrimper]

Moncur for Husin now please

 

[Barling Magna]

Moncur on for Noor.

Think that's the difference between the two. Waldron and Cardwell both feeding off scraps, but Cards drops a bit deeper and holds it up, or wins a header and knocks it on, which gives the impression he's contributing even if it never comes to anything. Waldron not quite as strong physically to do that and does a lot more chasing down the channels which never comes to much.

Haven't got the BBC commentary - but I don't recognise that from the stream I'm watching. Barnet just edging it for me, but a tight game

Agree - watching on the stream and I think it is pretty even

 

[Ingrave Shrimper]

Blimey - didn’t know Kev could hear me shouting at the tv from south of france

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Absolute embarrassment of a performance, they look like Brazil, we look like the clueless of ideas Dagenham girl pipers.
6 skilful forward thinking players needed and a coach with sn idea of how to play football

Wiggy, we only see you on here when you're moaning.

Agreed, think it sounds worse on commentary because Barnet actually attack with speed and purpose when they get the ball instead of slow build to box, slow retreat back to Colin, slow build back to box, cross, loss of possession

 

[Barling Magna]

Great chance for Waldron..... hopeless header off target. Should be 1-1.

Yeah agree, which is why I think they actually compliment each other quite well. One presses from the front and one drops deeper. If only they had something to play with they could work well.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss 1.1

 

[Holy Joe]

Waldron heads well wide. Was stretching but perhaps should've done better

Sums us up at present, fans calling for a non match fit loanee to come on and provide the passes for our strikers

Yes
