Please put your views here on our game after Martin's rant obviously paid off.

If only he would **** off.

Of course that rant is to blame :nope:

CP's Twitter:

Sturrock full of praise for Grant: "His form has been indifferent this season but was very pleased with him today."

Blues staff not sure how bad Kalala injury is. It's his ankle though and he left the ground on crutches.

Sturrock: "You can't point the finger at the players' work rate or commitment today. But you can at some of their performances."

Grant: "It said in the paper this week we were gutless but you couldn't call us that today. I hope fans are happier"

Not gutless today, you can't fault them for effort, much better. Maybe a little clueless. Almost zero service to the strikers once again. The tactics clearly aren't working. If the strikers aren't fed, how are they meant to score?

Another tweet from CP:

Morecambe goalscorer jordan burrow - "we played better and deserved win. All southend did when they got the ball was hoof it forward."

Embarassing when an opposition player is saying that.

Exactly what I was about to post.

Ambitious I know, but why not this:

Morris
Clohessey Phillips Barker Prosser
Hall Timlin Grant Martin
Mohsni Benyon/Flood​

New manager please

 

[Onion_Bag_Dave]

new manager please

lol hahahahahaaa!

 

[Pubey]

Grant was the only positive today. The effort was there but too many players had a poor game, including Dickinson who we need firing for the system to work.

Still defensive issues which need to be ironed out. I don't think Morris appreciated the bollocking from Timlin (who was a passenger today) after the final whistle.

Morris - 5
Clohessy - 6
Barker - 6
Phillips - 6
Prosser - 5
Mohsni - 5
Timlin - 5
Grant - 7 MOTM
Hall - 5
Sampson - 6
Dickinson - 6

New manager please

thing is - who would want it that we could afford and we would want? On paper the best manager we could hope for in terms of experience is already in the job.

If sawyer was our only bright light, which is good news ! how are we going to find another 10 to make a half decent team ?

The problem with that lineup is its still hoof hoof hoof. ie Morris never a quick realease of ball just hoof up. Phillips hoof/ Barker hoof and Prosser hoof. Not one of them can play a ball out to the midfield. We need to get a couple of loanee's in. A left back, and a ball playing center half. Also get Daniels back asap or give Bentley a chance

My apoligies i meant grant not Sawyer, i need a beer !:blush:

Ricky Duncan is at the club already. Kevin Maher wouldn't cost a lot and is a Shrimper thro and thro.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Talking of Sawyer, when's he going to be back?

More Twitter gossip from Chris Phillips. Apparently Mohsni stormed down the tunnel when subbed, didn't shake Benyon's hand and offered a Morecambe fan a fight. And MARK Phillips has tweeted that he's on "suicide watch" right now. Sturrock kept them in the dressing room for a long time after the match, and it doesn't sound like a happy dressing room...

Bring back Zaaboub!

Message from BLUEBLOOD - £100 day out and a great laugh apart from 90 minutes.

UNACCEPTABLE.

Sturrock out.

Yes please, worth a go
