Official Match Thread Grimsby Town v Southend United

[Target man]

Gonna be open now...... either 2-0 or 1-1.

White's better off playing walking football.

 

[Leicester Shrimper]

White looks like me in the morning.

I don’t think we are doing that bad , matching Grimsby around most of the park apart from Sousa who looks the best player on the park .
With a bit of a gamble we could nick a goal here

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

That Sousa is frustrating isn’t he? Looks a demon on the ball but his final ball (shot or cross) is horrific!

We desperately need to strengthen the central midfield area. Though we desperately needed to do that a few weeks back and still haven’t. That poor centre midfield is costing us. The rest of the team isn’t too bad. Certainly not good, but not awful.

I would say we needed to do that about three seasons back - hopefully the new management team are prioritising it.

He's not quick enough....

 

[Tampa Blue]

I’d get Sayers on for White and switch Demi

 

[Texas Eslan]

Murphy is a real see you next Tuesday type of player. Kicks, dives, offsides. Just always trying to cheat.

 

[MisterStubbs]

Just another game where Rhys Murphy gets pushed and pulled to the ground at every opportunity and gets nothing yet seems to give away foul after foul for doing the exact same thing.

 

[RHB]

He certainly clattered Fox well.

It's called National League defending.

White was the one player that looked poor against Dover, he's been a good servant for the club but he shouldn't be a starter anymore.

We’ve just brought on our ‘Sousa’, aka Egbri

 

[Tampa Blue]

Brunt showing the passion that’s missing from others

 

[Sufc.2008]

I feel sorry for whoever has to clean Murphy’s shorts. The grass stains from spending most of the game on the floor must be tough to get out.

 

[Barling Magna]

Poor free kick by Brunt, straight to the keeper.

 

[Special Blue]

Sorry OBL, but John White needs to go I’m afraid. Unquestionably the weakest link in the team. Can’t defend, can’t pass, can’t run… absolutely shocking. Nice guy but not up to the job any more. JD not far behind either. If we can get decent replacements for those two and a good box to box driving midfield enforcer we would be a LOT better as a team.

I was thinking the same!
Great pro and will give 100% but feel time has caught up with JW.

 

[Barling Magna]

Good run by Egbri, earns a corner.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

No creativty, which we know about and shocking dead ball deliveries......

 

[Barling Magna]

Another corner wasted.....
