Southend extend their unbeaten run!

With all the doom and gloom on here recently, I thought I'd try to be a little positive! :smile:

OK. Positives........ well we have a goalscorer in Cox, a goalkeeper who is getting better with every game, a promising youngster in Bridge, a tough and determined old hand in Barrett, a pacey winger in McGlashan....... a very good player in Leonard........ a nice team strip....... er....McLaughlin is playing quite well.......

That's about as positive as I can be.

Plus Ranger looks decent when fit.

Its been a good week. Very unlucky for both player and club with Rangers injury. Still I know all you people out there won't be so harsh on the team until he returns.

Demetriou had a good week. King proved he can play in this team, even if he gave a poor pass late on. Timlin will be back soon, Barrett proved why he is captain and we don't have 5 threads on why PB should be sacked.

Had a chat with Woody yesterday and he's making quicker progress than expected and is itching to get back into full training and then the team.

Cracking playing surface at the Hall, respect to the ground staff.

A good week for those who went to Sheffield maybe. For the other 95% of the supporters I'm afraid it was more of the same. Not terrible, not good. All the same strengths, all the same weaknesses.

I thought King had little influence on the game yesterday and proved nothing. The ease with which their player lost Barrett for the goal was worrying. Demetriou may have had a good week but being substituted by Jason Williams was not a good way to end to it.

No it wasn't. You will find a lot of people were happy with our Sheffield result, even if they couldn't be there to see it. Others of course were hoping we would be thumped 4-0 and then lose to Rovers Yesterday, for their own selfish reasons.

Mooney, Thompson and Barrett were marking the 3 Bristol players that rushed in for the goal. Thompson and Mooney lost their men including the scorer, allowing them to get in front for a free header. Barrett was pushed to the ground as they rushed in. Demetriou may have done better on the line.
Demetriou was taken off to go for the win with 3 at the back.

I'm sure we were still losing 1-0 when he got subbed so not sure how we were going for that win at that point

Why do you think he was subbed then?

 

[davewebbsbrain]

At 1-0 down, you aren't going for the win. Salvage a point maybe but not going for a win.

Bring on the next lambs to the slaughter I say :happy: :happy: :happy:...."Fortress Roots Hall" needs a bit of a make over, from both us as the supporters and the whole team to make teams worry about visiting.

Absolutely right Harry, a coat of paint and some new curtains and visiting teams will be cacking themselves.
