Pre-Match Thread Morecambe vs Southend United, Sat 8th March

[Rick Parsnip]

Jaffa. A friend who works closely with the team. Prosser was particularly down but that is understandable given his injury. Aside from that I was told the 'general consensus' of the players was that we will lose to Morcambe.

Totally out of order making a statements like that. No professional, or semi-pro of whatever level would ever make such a statement. Why some people on this site continue to undermine the players is totally beyond me. In a week of good news somebody always wants to 'throw a spanner in the works'. For goodness sake bloody well grow up.

We're in a terrible run against a side we've never beaten in the league. I usually remain optimistic but the signs aren't looking good.

We need an injection of pace up front, none of our forwards will receive the ball to feet and then look to take a defender on, the only player we have who does do this is Straker and he's either sh*t hot or stone cold, there's no in-between.

Expand?

How would you like me to expand beyond what I am told?

Morale is low. The players have said they can see us losing tomorrow. The players are 'down in the dumps'. What more do you want?

I'm prepared to bet 'the players' doesn't include Kevan Hurst and Ryan Leonard. Any other players we can discount from the generalisation of some unknown party that allegedly has surveyed all the players and confirmed they are all 'down in the dumps'?
