Morton: even the commentators are baffled with his play ideas

One of the worst midfield displays I’ve seen for us in recent memory.

Lots of shots off target.

Some shots to start off with wouldn’t hurt!

 

[Cricko]

Powder puff performance from us so far with our final ball something that a rugby full back would be proud of.

I do hope it was Kev's tactics all along to close them down first half and go for it the 2nd after bringing on Bridge and Nor because if not its only a matter of time before they score.

Likewise i hope this is some masterstroke from Kev, we shall see.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

He's basically playing two attacking players. The rest can only pass sideways.

… or in the case of Morton today, directly into the sky above him.

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

Dreadful watch. Morton having a mare in midfield. No creativity or pace to our game. Can see us slipping to a narrow defeat with Mancini or Dieseruvwe bagging for the home side.
Any chance of putting a few quality balls into the box? Cards and Walker feeding off scraps.

Who scouted him?

 

[Morty01]

Tell KM that parking the bus is reserved for the end of the game, not for the full 90!

 

[Strykr]

Writing this before I hide behind the sofa… but Callum Powell would’ve offered something positive this game.

Both powell and wes tbh.

Im pretty sure like all of us kev thought they both needed upgrading. Just a shame we havent signed anyone thus far.

New Southend drinking game for those wanting to kick the booze:

1 drink every time we pass forward
2 drinks every time we shoot
3 drinks every time we score

Guaranteed to be stone cold sober at the end of it

 

[Tinks]

Bit boring

Great shout on Wes, you’re absolutely right

Sounds fun, but I'll pass on this one

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Awful, just awful! I'd take a point now!

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

That freekick that they hit the woodwork with was excellent. Just not clicking up front in the first half.

 

[Strykr]

302 brave southend souls.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

302 hardy souls on tour

 

[southendkid]

This is probably more out of hope than logic but I think we'll be a lot better this half.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

Its pronounced Man-seen-e isn't it?

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

Waterfall sent off!
