Just back from watching Southend wasting the ball for the whole match.
Can Mr Brown explain on here what his instructions were to Barry Corr. Corr was stuck in the middle of the pitch, too slow or uninterested to get forward leaving Cauley Woodrow to run his socks off to pose the only threat to a hardworking Newport side who seemed to know what they were trying to achieve.
Brown is boosting Bentleys confidence by saying how ell he played and he did make some great saves but it was his blunder that led to the opening goal. He looked like Bambi on ice as he ran out to take the ball from his defender. Up to that goal Southend seemed set up for a goalless draw and to suggest we were set up as 4-3-3 was a joke. The midfield was the problem and our lack of goal potency will cost us dear this season
Coker with a blistering free kick seemingly gave us a chance to get back to the dressing room to sort out what was happening. Coonor kept passing the ball to the opposition, Hurst was ineffective, and whilst I hear what Brown says about an inexperienced defence, the problems today were a misfiring midfield. Atkinson and Leonard were hopeless with poor distribution and not enough determination to keep the ball. Auger did quite well but Browns words last week of players linking up and playing well together was a joke if todays game was taken as an example.
It could easily have been 5 or 6 goals to 1 today and that is not good enough. Newport had lost their captain to injury and had players missing but they were able to beat us to the ball all afternoon which has to be disappointing to Southend fans.
Brown says we have players capable of playing in a higher league, but today they looked incapable of playing at this level.
Moaning yes, because we were dreadful today. Come on Brown, come on here and explain the tactics for todays match.:smile:
