Post-Match Thread and Ratings Forest Green 2-2 Southend United..We win on Penalites 4-2

[Hooly]

Was Cotterill serving a touchline ban or is he always talking via an earpiece and on an Ipad?

Yes, according to the commentary I heard he was.

 

[Barling Magna]

I made it clear we would not make the playoffs.
I made it clear we would not beat Rochdale.
I made it clear we would not beat FGR.
I made it clear Maher has to go.

DM me if you want my lottery predictions.

Oh yes, a comment on the game... Fan-effing-tastic!

You had better make it clear that we're gonna lose at Wembley then.

Was superb and right to be over the moon. I’m gonna be a bore though lol… we haven’t won anything yet, and if we lose at Wembley we are still stuck in this awful league (with fgr and boring wood etc).

We HAVE to win!!!

 

[Ted]

Absolutely bossed that first half, which always makes me nervous when we don’t score.

Appiah, Parillon , Scott-Morris are top class players, be gutted if we don’t win at Wembley as I fear Parillon will be the only one we would keep from these and league clubs will be sniffing about.

Really like Kendall, think he could be a top player for us and the game felt like it changed when he went off. Bonne did well again from the bench and bloody well done Jack Bridge!

Oldham have strolled their games which doesn’t fill me with hope, been checking out flights from Auckland and it is very tempting to make the trip. Was certainly chipper at work watching the penalties at 9am

Where's that fgr mug that was posting on here!

Ruprecht was okay. I’m sure he’ll be back!

 

[Mad Cyril]

Have never liked cotteril but he surpassed himself tonight - the wally with the iPad

He would have been better off with an Etch a Sketch

 

[Callum]

This is where we belong bring on the final this club don’t know when it’s beat

 

[Target man]

The morning after the night before..... what a feeling!!!!

 

[Rayleigh Shrimper]

WOW what an unbelievable night for our club. We will never give up. After all we have been through as a club this is just amazing . 1 more push form the boys !!

 

[Wingnut]

Reminds me of Malcom Allen just spends the hole match shouting instructions when no one listens

I actually think they both spoke well. If SC really went into our changing room and congratulated the team, then we'll done him. That's very classy.

And RI's answer to the question of if he'll be there next season was very well

Agreed, they were clearly emotional especially SC so credit where credit is due

They only gripe about anything last night was Aaron Mclean on the commentary and his clear hatred of Southend. He couldn't have had his tongue any further up Cotterills a*se if he tried.
Made me laugh that he said Cotterill had left no stone unturned and planned for every eventuality. Bet his plan didn't include losing

In the words of GSM ‘ If you’ve got us by the throat you better beat us properly”

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Gubbins often is the scapegoat but fair play to the lad. He put himself forward for a penalty and he finished it superbly. Bottom corner, well executed.

You are joking right? He backed us to win!

 

[RHB]

Thanks for turning up in style both your players and fans. You made it a real game. I hope Wembley is just as thrilling for you

Thanks for the kind words buddy. It must have been difficult to come on here and post after that result.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Did he? He spent all game saying how wonderful Cotterill was.
To be fair I was at Roots Hall and we didn't get any commentary before the game so have no idea what he said. All we heard was his in game commentary where it was all about Cotterill

I’ve always had the impression he liked Southend and he’s always praised the club and Kevin Maher on how they have battled and survived through our Dark Days with Ron Martin

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Shows you how much a person at work follows football. I said Southend are going to Wembley and she asked if I was playing in it...

We watched Cotterill's interview this morning over a cup of tea. Certainly a very distressed man. The thought of losing that game had never crossed his mind...........until it did. He did manage a modicum of praise for Southend though.
