Post-Match Thread and Ratings Brentwood Town 3-5 Southend United F.A Trophy Rnd 3

[Cricko]

A fairly comfortable win in the end which it should of been but the weather no doubt played it's part. Nice for Bim to get a hatrick and it sounds like Wind is a real find for us. The first half wasn't much and i think fitness in the second took it's toll on Brentwood and we stepped up and took advantage. I don't think conceding 3 will please Kev much.

Over to you guys.

Well done lads. Onwards and upwards. It's a shame that we haven't got any money, we could sign a couple of those Brentwood players....

After going a goal down so early feared the worse but once we got control only one team was going to win.Please for Bim for his hat trick and for AP and Wind making their mark

George Wind made his mark, or the wind made it's mark ?

5 goals good. 3 goals bad.. wind sounds a player. Pepple.. we got to find a way of keeping him.

First club through to the next Round. Hoorah.

Was there any trouble?

Was there any trouble?

Well, letting three goals in was troubling.

We do have the money to sign players, ask Wonderboys

According to BBC 1300 plus in attendance.
Brentwood ground holds 2500 , did they miss out on a big pay-day ?

As @Smiffy stated in the match thread it might be an idea to take a good look at Ogunleye.

Still no goal for bonne. Absolute donkey.

If anyone is genuinely concerned concedeing 3 goals then get a grip . Cup games is all about getting through and we done that. Onto the next round and more importantly bring on Hartlepool next week

What did you see in his play today to make him a donkey?

 

[Target man]

Nice to get the win but it was expected, and with a strong squad out you would have also expected to score 4, 5, 6 or more.

On reflection though two things would be a concern. Bonne still cannot score, even against a lot lower opposition and rightly he'll be judged on that. The other concern would be that we leak goals like a collinder in a shower. It's of no surprise Kev is targeting a central defender and a striker. Nice to win against anyone, but areas to address if we're going to progress this season.
