Official Match Thread Crewe v Southend United

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Think we've done OK so far, Crewe have had most of the ball but haven't had any clear-cut chances. We've defended alright and have had the best chances. Came into it more towards the end. Mohsni needs to get in the game more. Hope Phillips' injury isn't bad, would bring Prosser on if there's a risk he could aggravate something. Most of the noise has come from the home fans.

Anyone else get annoyed by the commentary and punditry for lower league games? I find it quite uninformed and patronising.

Totally agree with you their with you Shrimpboy.

I just loved the comment of Mohsni being called "the Mario Ballotelli of League 2" hahahaha gold.

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

Yep, agreed here. I'd also say that if we were in Crewe's position we'd be getting frustrated. How many times over the years have we been on top, only to concede a silly goal and lose?

Here's hoping that's what we do to them.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Kane shouldve done much better with that chance. Fancy if that had been Mohsni it wouldve been in the back of the net.

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

Bollocks!!!

 

[southend_aussies]

1-0 Crewe :(

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

Time to change things up

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Come on southend. lets get back into this...Bring on freddy

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

Eastwood on for last half hour, scores hattrick, and secures legend status!


Ok, the wine's kicking in now

Why leonard? FFS!

Why leonard? FFS!

Prob cos we'd rather play the second leg 1 nil down than 2. No panic at the moment, we can't win the tie tonight.

Long throw a good option away from home?

Play Eastwood from start could start home leg in front!

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

and THAT could be the key moment


(hopefully)

 

[jimmyshrimp]

It is sh!t or bust time!

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

Prosper on for Philips. Looks as though we're settling for 1-0 :thumbdown:

 

[jimmyshrimp]

Play a team that can win the game not just contain

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

Play Eastwood from start could start home leg in front!

because he's scored a load since returning


(having said that, he has the big match temperament, and I'd have probably started him assuming he's fit enough)

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Gotta say weve been totally outplayed this second half. Our end product has been abysmal (summed up by Grants efforts). If its still 1-0 at full time I will be happy.
