Blair Sturrock -

[Rayleigh boy]

delighted that the mangers son managed smash one in from 4 yards out - and get his pic on the OS - he does get such an easy ride compared to the stick Harrold and Paynter used to get -

but he should learn to take defeat on the chin and not to make disrespectful remarks about the opposition and the winning goal from a player who has scored 16 goals in 19 appearances -

just comes over as a sore loser

I thought next time he scored he was going to do this Jedi falling down thing, I was really disappointed with the goal celebration.

He did wave his rats tail at us though!

Blair has a far superior strike rate for us (6 in 32) than Harrold (3 in 52) and Paynter (0 goals), although admittedly at a lower level.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong but Blair actually worked to get into a position to get it in, he didn't get it someone else to do most of the work and then just tap it in, I haven't heard his interview so I can't comment on that

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

He does have a point though, Southend never seem to get any luck. With the first goal 9 times out of 10 that would have bounced of Evans' chest and fallen at the feet of one of our defenders but it fell straight to Grimes who couldn't miss.

Nine times out of ten it would be held by the goalkeeper.

Maybe on a decent surface, yes.

Maybe on a decent surface, yes.

Or maybe a decent keeper

 

[sufcjoe]

how can you blame the pitch on someone not being able to catch a cold never mind a football. Also aint heard his interview but i thought Blair was possibly our best player yesterday worked hard all game, won plenty of headers linked play well and chased everything

 

[DTS]

Haven't seen the goal but Rhys Evans is a liabilty time after time. The defence has no confidence in him and he really isn't for my mind fit for the task. He reminds me of Joycey as in he is a good shot stopper but his handling is poor.

 

[TravellingBlue]

Evans was completely at fault for the first goal.

Blair was handed his goal on a plate, three yards out, open goal - thankfully he didn't blush and fart and duff it (surprisingly!).

Unlike Spencer did with his chance.....

Correct! a shocking miss - thank god - could just imagine Screech's post match interview/twitter/facebook if it had gone in!!

 

[Firestorm]

Maybe on a decent surface, yes.

The pitch certainly appears to be dodgy, RB says Blair was 4 yards out yet he is outside the goal area according to the pic on the OS.

I think the FA should be informed

The highlights usually are out today aren't they? We can see who's right after watching those
