Official Match Thread Burton Albion vs Southend United

[Spaceman Spiff]

Smith is useless

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Just how much are we missing Assombalonga?....................no one can get a touch on the end of a Clohessey cross. Hurst JuST wide.

 

[sufc_dave]

We generally play better in the 2nd half anyway. Those 2 goals are their head start

 

[sufc_dave]

Vale 3-1 up

 

[Shrimper]

We're on top apparently.

 

[superblue24]

Rubbish result against a rubbish opposition. Can't say I'm surprised as we always seem to get unpicked against the likes of Burton, Aldershot, Accrington.....

Where's the usual suspects with the "Smith is useless" comments?

I've not got commentary on, anyone able to suggest why we're finding this difficult today? Certain players not on top of their form or what? We've had some dodgy first halves in several games recently and then come back very well in the second, let's hope this is one of them.

Paul Clark was suggesting that everybody was a bit off their game today.Sounds like it.Could be the pitch.Lot of rain on it.Billy Kee having a good game for them.

Are you seriously trying to get people to bite?

FYI he had no chance with either goal. Cresswell lost Zola for the first and the second was a deflection.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

2 minutes added time.

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

At least one Blues fan has been ejected due to fisticuffs. Grim all round up here.

 

[Shrimper]

Big team talk coming up.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Half time.

 

[Medway Blue]

Get them in the dressing room and let the Gaffer tear them a ****ing new one. There's no need to play like this after all the hard work that has been done recently. People will say "its only one loss" if we do end up losing but surely no-one can tell me they would t be at all worried about the knock-on consequences.

FWIW, I hate Burton too. Tinpot club who always seem to do us over. And I'm sick to death of Billy Kee and Calvin Zola too.

FFS Phil, when did you have a sex change to become Wiggy? Get a grip man, and stop having such a bloody complex!!! :thump:

Thank you, that is a much more sensible comment.

Sloppiness across the pitch from the blues; however we created several chances and built some pressure. A big second half, if we can get an early goal then it's game on. Sadly we're shooting to the home fans this half

How's Corr doing? I thought he struggled with the pitch on Wednesday, if it's heavy there might Freddy be a better option?

 

[Pubey]

He started brightly then drifted out of the game. Freddy isn't with the subs at half time...

 

[Pubey]

...he is now, along with Donnelly (I think)

 

[Shrimper]

Let's get an early goal and get back in this lads! Come back from 2 before, you can do it again!

 

[Alex]

2-0 down and only 6 subs named, surely Benyon should have been named. We come back against Bradford because we had 4 strikers on the pitch towards the end, can't do that today. I say get Eastwood on for Barker and go 3-4-3
