[shallowshrimper]

Great result, must breathe new life into our play off hopes. And all done without Sturrocks tartan waistcoat! Well done lads

 

[undercovershrimper]

great result today and with 3 of the bottom 4 coming in the next three games, its time to sort out our home form and make a late charge up the table

Great win, but how come we let them have the ball for 40 minutes after denying them the same amount of time in the first half?

we love to sit back as it is when we are 1 nill down so if we are 2 nill up then god help us in the second half

Overall great win and we can still do it!!!!!

 

[Shrimper]

Only 10 points off second and 8 third.

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Only 10 points off second and 8 third.

We can still do it IMHO

 

[eastling]

Only 10 points off second and 8 third.

If that doesn't motivate the players, management and fans then nothing will. This is do-able and everyone must now play their part. Put Wembley to one side everyone and let's concentrate on the league job in hand!

 

[Shrimper]

The fixture list favours us too. Only playing two top half teams. Other teams all have to play each other at some point.

 

[southend-mad.94]

We can still do it!! But we can't pull a southend and drop silly points against the bottom clubs at home! Our squad will hopefully be strengthened with tam and reeves for the next game! Promising win to most certainly build on. We need a late surge now!!

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

9 points from these 3 home games is an absolute must!

 

[h turner]

Only 10 points off second and 8 third.

and apart from rotherham, we have a game in hand over everyone and two over cheltenham

 

[Romford Shrimper]

It's not over just yet! Win all 3 next home games and expect a exciting end to the season!

 

[Jam_Man]

Only 10 points off second and 8 third.

Fantastic result today.

However it might be "only" 8 points, but there are only 10 games to go and we would have to do far better than five teams to get in the automatics, thats not going to happen. The play offs are the realistic target and if we can get 9 points out of 3 winnable home games we could find ourselves back in the pack.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

A great win for us and much needed one too! With Col Ewes losing, make it the best day we had for a while .... let hit the town of Southend and party :D

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

did not see that coming. Fantastic.

 

[undercovershrimper]

9 points from these 3 home games is an absolute must!

This..........

 

[Angell Delight]

What a fabulous result! Feeling a lot more positive now, we may just sneak into that top 7 after all.

Nine points from the next nine would go a long way to achieving that goal, hopefully we won't waste this opportunity against lesser opposition in the coming week.

COYB!

Can beat 2nd but can't beat bottom...SUFC all over

That's probably our best result of the season. But there's no way we'll take 9pts from the next 3 homes. So poor at Roots Hall, especially against teams that sit back. 6 points would be good and would probably keep us in the hunt - just.
