Official Match Thread Northampton Town vs Southend United

[EastStandBlue]

Nothing else to do now but wait for the chilling embrace of Martin Allen in April.

Absolutely NO chance of promotion, we need decent defenders and a striker who knows where the back of the net is

 

[Southend Pier]

Maybe Mr Brown should cut back on his media jollies and spend more time sorting things out. Not as if he needs the money!

I said that in September. needs to be solely focused or at least decrease some of the media work. with current loss of form it makes sense more than ever

 

[Southend Pier]

Why change to a system that has not been tried and tested ???

So did I but OBL didn't agree so I shut up like a naughty schoolboy

Need to forget our current form and just start from a new slate. What, 13 games left? Win 7 and we'll be fine. Winning is the thing though.

We dont look like winning ONE game let alone 7!

 

[dannypav]

The only saving grace is that Fleetwood , Newport and ( to a lesser extent ) Burton all seem to be doing their very best to screw up also.
Need Prosser back asap.

No one seemed to mind when we were winning.

Its pretty petty looking at that as any sort of reason for the teams poor form.

As if him not commentating on the game the other night would have meant anything could have been done to improve the team performance, whats he going to do get the team training in the evenings?

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Our defensive problems are explainable, our present strike force is undefendable.

If he spent less time talking **** e in the media then he might be able to instruct them to have a shot on goal now and again!

He probably does it to give you something to moan about

 

[Bobby dazzler]

I hope she is better than what we got up front!!!

That would be childish of me to answer

On current form she couldn't do much worse and shes 70 !!!!!!

 

[ozzy-shrimper]

That's the season. Mark Phillips is woeful, Eastwood on the pitch acting as if he's still golden boy and non league tactics slotting the ball over the full backs heads looking to gain yards.

To be fair, didn't we all expect us to lose this game anyway? Typical Southend. Bring on Wycombe. A change of team is needed for the next game. I look forward to seeing Browns next team!

Not if you look at the prediction league where everyone (apart from a few) had on their rose-tinted spectacles and were going for an away win.

I know we are all hacked off with results lately, but this is hardly a shock, I think most of us had seen this result coming.
Where do we go from now ? PB had better have a plan, surely that's what he is paid for ?
Plymouth have now there eyes on our play off slot, not looking good !

If he had one surely he would have implemented it already.

When you start playing brand new formations it smarts of desperation (which with injuries it probably was).

.....and you something to sit on the fence and defend him with........he's the manager, he's watched us huff and puff since Daggers away and done sod all to change it. Confidence is now shot to bits and you, as usual make out that nothing is wrong. Glad that for the first year in eight that i won't have to endure that mid table end of season dross. Enjoy and make out all is rosy as you normally do!

Only 4 points ahead of 8th now and 8 points off 3rd. We need a serious improvement in form and quick otherwise another season in League Two beckons. I don't understand why a team with Barry Corr, Freddy Eastwood and Lee Barnard isn't scoring enough goals. Now isn't the time to be playing Football Manager and messing with different systems, although I don't think Brown can be criticised too much for his team selection. He had few options at the back, many have been calling for Laird to play and Hurst needed a kick up the backside. Start Payne and Williams on Saturday, inject a bit of youth and energy into the team. Can't do any worse than the current lot are.

but if you look at the predictions it shows what an unpredictable league this is...the loss of Bolger and Thompson would have changed a lot of people's views if we'd have known in advance, i'm sure, re Southend game but every team loses in this league

He did make 3 changes and play a completely different formation this evening.

But apart from that didnt change anything I agree.

Its the fact he made changes that is the problem for me..
