Official Match Thread Morcambe vs Southend United

[Ayrshire Blue]

Bentley needs a rest for a few games, been poor recently

That'll do his confidence the world of good won't it?

1-1 Bentley came and missed

Not how it came across on the radio. Defence should have cleared the ball but dawdled on the ball

oh dear, own last week as well

What on earth....last week the ball hit the bar, came down, hit Bentley and went in. You really going to blame Bentley for that?

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Not again!!

What & keep making errors & costing us points does? He needs a rest & recharge, he a young keeper and a full league & cup season is a long one!

 

[tottenham541]

come on southend, lets raise it again and quick, if we don't beat these we will be in trouble.

 

[Bluegoose]

No it's confidence thing, it was counted as an own goal

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Now we have to start again and build things up and settle down then win!! Morecambe will get an lift from that **** up!

Paul Clark blamed Bentley for not coming out with enough conviction.

Old man Kevin Ellison 35 years exposes Southends ponderous defence

Who we replace Bentley with? Smith is finished for us.

 

[tottenham541]

think straker just cleared that off the line rather than put it in the back of the net.

BBC Essex said the defence should have cleared rather than Bentley coming. Bentley then had to come late which put pressure on him. If the defence did their job properly, Bentley wouldn't have needed to come for the ball

Sorry, disagree, sounds like a mix-up in the defence - not sure bringing in Paul Smith, whose not played hardly a match all season and at best can be a nervous Nery's will install much confidence?
Dan is our best keeper by a country mile.

Smith is the only option at the moment, but when Smith made the mistakes Bentleys making now he got hammered on here, Bentley will be a great keeper but we have to expect him to make mistakes ALL keepers do, his confidence in claiming crosses & dealing with corners seems to be zero at the moment

I think you'll find we're listening to the same commentary.As you know Paul Clark is the co-commentator.

Elaborate.....

 

[Bluegoose]

Since the Hull game we have been on a downward slide, we all have opinions as to why

Is Corr playing? Several crosses from Hurst and nothing heard or seen of Corr
