Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 0-0 Hartlepool United

Walker is not anywhere near good enough, granted he hit the post but his movement is non existent … there was one point where Bim was coming forward with the ball and Walker just jogged in between there cbs

Poor game of football, we created very little. Still need that creative midfielder to create the opportunities for our forwards

One in Torquay apparently.........

 

[JCB]

Easy to be annoyed at the dire football on offer - but don’t worry guys, we’ll be self sustainable in 6 years

His not good enough

Delighted with George Wind. Really enjoyed his performance. Nice actually seeing a defender defend and not throw his hands up at every decision.

I thought it was Crowthers best performance in a blues shirt. Vocal and got his head on everything.

Charlie looks a handful and looking forward to seeing him over the next few months.

No one ran more than Bim. It's a little sad to see a loan player constantly putting in the most effort.

I'll say it again. Maher's discipline is disgraceful and I hope someone higher up at the club is going to address it.

Our central midfield does not work. It hasn't worked all season and shows no sign of working.

5 unbeaten is lovely, but that's 3 nil Nils and we let in 3 goals against a part time team last week.

Naturally delighted to still have a club, but I don't really enjoy going at the moment.

I don't expect to win every or even most of the games, I just don't think I enjoy whatever this style of football is.

Are we missing Cardwell enough yet?

 

[Desperado]

Must change the formation at home and our mentality. Lets try to beat the other side rather than just being ‘hard to beat’

Hard to fault the strikers. The service into them is woeful

This is nothing to do with Cardwell.

Husin is a completely different player to the Noor we saw last season (not in a good way) I like Morton in the 6 role and Moncur needs to be sent back imo seems a different player to the one we saw against Boston.

The middle is our problem we do not give the strikers enough to feed off of

Genuinely wouldn’t bother me if majority of this squad left

 

[Shrimper]

His not good enough

He's no worse than those who played today

 

[Jack_23]

Fans in W block boo Bonne yet same fans sing ‘ super noor Husin ‘ and ‘ bridge will tear you apart’ who both have been absolutely dreadful all season. Fan base as embarrassing as the performance

Got out of my sick bed, coughed and spluttered for 90 mins. Really shouldn't have bothered.
Same tired lethargic negative tactics. When will it end?

Personally I don’t think the players are the problem. Man for man they’re better quality than the opposition but playing in a rigid system designed to ‘keep it tight’

Think it’s a bit of both imo

This is nothing to do with Cardwell.

it is.... cos he was our top scorer last season... mostly the same squad.... barn door and banjo.

I personally loved when Bonne ran through in the 89th minute and had to hold the ball for 5-10 seconds because nobody fancied sprinting to support.

Are you watching the games?

There is no service in to the box. Cardwell was not the sort of player to create something out of nothing.
