Official Match Thread Boston vs Southend United

[South Bank Hank]

Commentators are salivating over our approach play

That’s negative, sideways football for you! ;-)

 

[Harry Bullocks]

While it’s handy York currently doing us a favour, we actually need to score
Pretty please

 

[Scamps]

Southend fans very quiet. If they are singing can’t hear them.

 

[amsemp]

It’s either a bit of a weird set up or we’re super fluid tonight. Hopper’s been sitting really deep at times and Bonne is virtually playing right wing. Can’t work it out.

 

[Barling Magna]

After 30 minutes the commentators said that is the first time we have seen Southend build patiently, until now they have been playing forward quickly each time.

We actually look quite slick and pacy going forward, it’s just the last cross in to the box letting us down

And again. Great run from KAF, final ball lands straight on the defender's head at the far post.

 

[Barling Magna]

Great cross by KAF.... Parillon is just beaten by a defender's header.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Do they not EFFIN well look up before crossing. That one we had no-one within 20 yards for the far post FFS!

Hazel misses for Boston

Plus ca change.

 

[Shrimper]

Who was that defending? Dreadful

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

Hazel misses for Boston

He's caused us a few problems on the occasion when they've found him.

 

[overseas shrimper]

I think we've controlled the game as if we're the home side. Our final ball / quality in their box, plus decent Boston defending has prevented us from taking the lead.

And as I type this, Boston miss a golden chance.

 

[Barling Magna]

Great chance for Boston due to Goodliffe slipping but Hazell shoots wide.

 

[blewbie]

Goodliffe gives me massive anxiety. Every time I

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

Another corner kick for us

 

[amsemp]

Goodliffe needs to change his boots at half time. Second time he’s slipped in a dangerous position and nearly ****ed us.

 

[Trucking shrimper]

Goodliffe has been a liability so far.

 

[Barling Magna]

Shot by KAF is pushed round the post. Corner to us.
