Post-Match Thread and Ratings Shrewsbury 1-1 Southend United

[Mick]

Well I was on the train but what annoys me is there is no membership or none of this so quite why you bring me into it I have no idea.

But to answer your question I happen to know the 'young fans' you speak of and whilest it's not my view anymore to disagree with players I do stand up for the younger lads to have an opinion they spend serious amounts of money following this club and yes they can be crass now and again but they are young lads but most importantly they are all decent if you take the time to understand rather then just knock them.

Bentley who I personaly rate does himself no favours having an active Twitter presence when he does make a mistake as others on here have said being a keeper can be a very lonely place! If your getting criticism you either take it on the chin wipe your nose and move on or you block or ignore it. You will always have people who don't agree with what you have done and you can't keep everybody happy, there are some Southend fans that think I am a knob but I have never given a toss who gives a **** about what others think!

We have a game Tuesday now and all we can do is worry about something that was said on Twitter!

Everybody man the **** up and let's look forward to winning Tuesday

Can we have a separate sub-forum, like those ones at the bottom I never look at, for those people who want to turn every thread in to an argument?

Yep I think you're a knob sometimes. But your heart is definitely in the right place. Your commitment and loyal support of Southend can't be questioned. Beyond the call of duty many times, at your own expense.

Only sometimes....

I know the lads on the coach. I don't agree with what they did or their opinion. But they are entitled to their oponion, no matter how wrong it is.

Interestingly enough I asked PB whether he read SZ when I saw him on Thursday. He said something along the lines of it being something you just don't do. Maybe Dan Bentley needs to adopt the same approach. I just hope he doesn't think the comments are representative of anything other than a small number of children.

At the end of the day Dan is a southend utd player ,so every player in our team we get behind not having ago when he makes a mistake ,
Get behind the team full stop :smile:

Interesting to see Phil Brown say that the twitter comments really effected Bentley despite people thinking he'd just get over it. Why anyone would want to make their own player (one of our best players as well) feel like that is beyond me.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. :sad:

Why does brown keep on using the media to highlight mistakes made by Bentley? Seems strange for brown to comment on it at the same time as singling out Bentley's errors

 

[Ricky Otto]

I've been waiting for a mistake for ages, all keepers are going to make them. I've been saying for ages we won't know how good Dan truely is until we see how he copes after a mistake, so much of what makes a good keeper great is mental strength and responding after set backs. The guys who criticised him are idiots but it sounds like the folly of youth, we must remember that Dan is still a youngster too before we criticise his reaction.

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

Exactly ! All this talk about he's worth this, he's worth that etc. I don't think you really know how good a keeper is until he's made a hiccup or having a rough patch. All players go through them, but it's highlighted more with keepers.

There was a match report in the Times today. penned by Chris Phillips, so I'm assuming they got our man at The Echo to knock this up...

Shrewsbury Town 1 Southend United 1
Tyrone Barnett began repaying his large transfer fee by scoring an excellent equaliser on his Shrewsbury Town debut against promotion rivals Southend United
Barnett signed from Peterborough United on transfer deadline day for a fee believed to be about £300,000. He was delighted to immediately get off the mark, easing the inevitable pressure placed upon him. “It’s just what I needed,” the 29-year-old striker said.
“It was good to get my first game and my first goal. I couldn’t really have asked for much more, other than three points. It was a great feeling to see it go in and it was an important goal because it got us back into the game.”
The draw saw Shrewsbury surrender the top place in Sky Bet League Two as they slipped to third in the table, but Barnett is just delighted to be involved in a promotion push.
“I’m over the moon to be here and I’m buzzing to have the opportunity to play for a team up towards the top of the league,” the forward said. “I can’t thank the manager enough and I want to repay him by helping to get Shrewsbury promoted.”
Shrewsbury have yet to be beaten at home this season but they were second best for large spells against Southend.
Barnett’s contribution, though, came as no surprise to Phil Brown, the Southend manager. “Tyrone Barnett certainly made a difference when he came on but we know what he’s about,” he said. “We also tried to sign him but were quoted a figure of around £300,000 and we couldn’t afford that.”
The visiting team went close to scoring after six minutes when Joe Pigott, the on-loan Charlton Athletic forward, saw his close-range header well saved by Jayson Leutwiler, the Shrewsbury goalkeeper.
Moments later, Leutwiler also smothered Adam Thompson’s well-struck volley from Ben Coker’s corner, but there was nothing the Swiss could do to stop Southend taking the lead in the 54th minute when Jack Payne, their top scorer, bagged his seventh goal of the season.
The attacking midfielder was picked out by a quickly taken free kick by Michael Timlin before slamming a rising right-footed shot into the top corner of the net.
Shrewsbury immediately brought Barnett on in place of Mikael Mandron and switched to a far more attacking formation that enabled them to get back into the game.
Connor Goldson, the defender, had a close-range header well saved by Daniel Bentley but, five minutes from time, the young goalkeeper made a rare mistake as he lost the ball while under pressure from Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro.
Barnett was on to hand to fire a brilliant shot, from an acute angle, into the back of the net via the inside of the right-hand post.
Brown was left with mixed feelings. “I would have taken a point before the game but it was there for the taking and it’s disappointing we couldn’t hold on,” he said.

That's not a match report, that's a report on the ****ing press conference.

I'd much rather read about the actual match.

(that's a criticism of the Times, not of Chris Phillips)
