Post-Match Thread and Ratings Dagenham & Redbridge 0-2 Southend United

[Tangled up in Blue]

Lt's amazing how you can still draw a negative after a result like that.
Onwards and upwards.

Suggest you have a look at the NL table.

We are off the playoffs but not a long way. We have a run of games over the next few weeks that will define the season and they should be winnable.

SM is all about opinions isn't it?

 

[Blue Yonder]

It'll be difficult to abandon 3 strikers for a game or two. Our away form yielding more PPG than home takes some working out ?

A competent display and never in doubt. Only downer for me was the injuries we picked up. Colllin, I hope he isn't out too long. Also I hope Gus' knock isn't too bad. Tuesday could be an opportunity to rest it and give Wind a run out.

Great assist and calm headedness from Kendall and I am so pleased McCauley finshed.

Goodliffe looked solid and a good addition.

The whole team looked more energetic. Bridge still can't take a corner, why not just aim for the penalty spot ffs! We wouldn't lose any opportunities ffs!

Glad Waldron got some minutes.

Over 1200 away fans, so pleased the team performed for them.

A win on Tuesday could see us move closer to that 7th spot, you never know.

Superb all-round performance. Not used to this kind of excitement watching Southend, does the ticker no good at all. Already missing my dull, unadventurous 90 minutes of boredom I've got so used to on a Saturday afternoon. Maher out............surprised no one has already said it!

I was just so happy to see us try a more positive formation with 3 up front, the fact it worked made it even better.
Utb.

Thought Morton was outstanding, not for the first time.

 

[Barry.C]

Hope Collins injury not to bad. Talk about terrible luck and only just back in again. Glad Harness did well

Are we going to need yet another emergency keeper loan ? Could be some sort of weird record for keepers in our match day squad if this carries on

Collin, Harness, Jeacock, Hillsom, youngster Charlie Brown had to make the squad as cover so far I think , any more? Cant remember if anyone else? but that's 5 for starters without the need for another one

And David Martin had to make 9 appearances when Collin got injured last year

Bonne = SUFC new folk hero

Great result and performance. Kev was rewarded for a more attacking line up which saw us come out of the blocks quickly, committing more bodies forward than at any time this season.

Hats off to Kev for being proactive, bringing on KAF for Kendall just as Daggers were building up a head of steam at the beginning of the second half.
Bonne and Morton both very impressive today, as well as Golding and Taylor.
You could see the relief on Bonne's face when he knocked home the opener after a composed cut back from Kendall.
Having seen the replay, he looked onside for the header which was cruelly chalked off earlier on. He worked really hard all afternoon, and was a real thorn in their side with his physical play and runs in the channels.
Very professional performance in the last 30 mins where we took the sting out of the game by keeping possession really well.
You could hear the away following loud and proud all afternoon. Great work everyone.

Billy Bragg! Barry Hearn! Stacey Solomon! Dagenham Kev! Dudley Moore! Sandie Shaw!! Arthur Fowler! Nick Frost! Dame Vera Lynn, can you hear me Dame Vera Lynn ?!? Your boys took one hell of a beating. One hell of a beating!

How could you miss out Alf Ramsey lol

A very professional display which made Daggers look poor. I must admit that when Collin went off I was a bit twitchy when Harness came on, but he was solid and produced one superb save in the second half. As others have already voted, Bonne was my MoM but Morton ran him close. A special word of praise for Kev and co for their contribution to this win, it's really pleasing that they mixed it up a bit to produce our very good performance. Roll on Tuesday.

Maybe just maybe we have found a formation that suits the style of play that Bonne is used to and thrives on.
So pleased he is getting the plaudits finally that he deserves

Always good to take the stink out of a game

How could you miss out Alf Ramsey lol

He and Venables just missed the cut!

 

[Whispering Bob]

What struck me was that every player ran to congratulate Bonne when he scored, plus the entire bench were up. A most popular goal scorer indeed!

SOUTHEND United stormed back to winning ways with a well-deserved 2-0 triumph at Dagenham & Redbridge this afternoon.

Poor opposition but a very professional display. Very pleased for Bonne who ran his bollocks off today. I hope his confidence increases so we don’t feel pressured into giving Hopper a longer contract than makes sense.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Really good post match interview from Bonne.

 

[Stuart W]

A look at the table tells you we're a long way off that 7th spot & a playoff place ,which is how the season will ultimtely be judged IMO.

6pts ? That is 2 wins to catch up with 19 games remaining.
