Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-3 Gateshead

[IloveShrimp]

Gateshead were better than us last season too, no lessons had been learnt and that cannot be excused!

I think kev wanted pepple to heal up fully, Taylor sounds like he could be back ASAP after a little tweak.
Saturdays team for maidenhead will look and feel better, I'd drop bonne and moncur btw.
.........Taylor crowther ralph
Gus morton Bridge
.............KAF Noor
............Walker Pepple

I'd say that's worth a go. I'd also say it won't happen.

Have I missed something ? Has it been confirmed that Bim wasn't fully fit ?

Walker won’t start quite yet so Bonne and Pepple up top I reckon. Moncs will start so suspect Morton won’t. Always a chance Ralph will go LWB so Gubbins continues and Jack comes on for Gubbins last 30.
In reality not a huge array of options of course

Is this The General as in Kev?

Yes it is I!

Could you turn up every week please

I’m normally a total jinx but I had started the season well but that’s unusual for me. I once went 14 months without seeing us win at home as me and the wife take turns going.

Long time.

The pen was a close call but if you ask me they’d have scored again anyway, we didn’t look remotely like getting back into it.

Agree, & for the 1st time since the home game v Bromley last season, i left 10 mins early to catch the early bus back to Leigh.

Frustrates the life out of me that Jack Wood isn't given more opportunity. The one game he has this season, he produced two assists.

He must be as well?. If the management don't feel his up to scratch yet, then send him out on loan?. Only downside of that, is it's one less sub we can name on the subs bench?.

Gateshead boss Rob Elliott is joining Crawley. Will be interesting how they fare without him.

Amazing what winning at Roots Hall can do for a lad’s career, innit?

Be a blow but sure they’ be fine, were after Williamson left so sure have a similar replacement with same ethos.

It would appear to be a really smart move by Crawley. Rob Elliott is an impressive young manager, has a good eye for a player, and clearly knows how to operate on a modest budget.

September and the football team is a shambles....WHY IS IT LIKE THIS?

Who the hell is Nobbler? For those of us (me) who do not know.

Nobbler is Dave Brabbing who was the first SUFC "face" that I can remember from away games in the 60's .These days he's a rather reformed character-as befits someone in their 70's-who sits in the East Blacks, IIRC:He will always be remembered by fans (of a certain age) for carving a bronze of Dereck Spence and presenting the great man with it on the pitch.He wasa great fan of Billy Best's too and I believe Sir Billy has actually visited his house.Should add that I haven't actually seen him in years but he's still active on SZ.

I can verify that, if Dave got cut he'd bleed blue, such is his devotion to SUFC. I've had the privilege of visiting his home, & if SUFC ever opened a 'hall of fame' they'd be hard pressed to compete with Dave's SUFC room.

Had a head wound....

Forget opinions etc the way we lost kensdale, cardwell, Waldron, miley, walker, Coker in the space of a week was a massive kick in balls.
