TV Highlights Southend United 2-1 Aldershot Town

Got to say that every time I see that Walker chance in the 1st half it gets worse. FFS!!

Struggling to defend set pieces again. They should of scored that free header right at the death. More evidence that 11 men between the penalty spot and goal line hinders not helps.

...almost as telling is Walker's break down the left before cantering into the box and snatching at a near post shot going wide despite the keeper's touch.
Zero conviction.

Walker should have scored from his two free headers. Golding from his free volley. We did score from free header but the ref disallowed it for standard penalty box contact. Their miss at the end was in the 93rd minute. We could have left 6 men up and they would have still have 9 in the box at that stage.

The quality of corners was good from both teams but at this level people miss chances.

I hate the way we send everyone back for corners, it allows the opposition to put everyone forward - also means there are far more bodies in the area and doesn't give us an outlet when it does get clearer!

I agree with you although other teams do the same. It means 10 v 10 outfield players in the final third. However if we leave one on the halfway line the opposition will have two markers leaving it 9 v 8 in our favour plus the advantage of having an outlet if we clear the ball.

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

I remember Northampton doing it really well in the mid to late 80s. They would leave their two wingers up and right on the touchline making counter attacks difficult to defend.

 

[Its Only A Game]

While I know Walker should tucked away his chance in the first half, did anyone see Jota and Nunez mess up for Liverpool last night? It's not just our players that do it, these are top quality internationals.

Sturrock was questioned on this as he did the same.
He said that the statistical evidence proved you conceded fewer goals from a corner with everyone back.
He also said that breakaway goals from an opponent taking a corner were extremely rare- which was why people always remembered them.

From an Aldershot fan. One of the best and most entertaining away supporters video so far. Fantastic ground, lovely boozer, brilliant Southend fans. His mate predicts 2-1 to Southend before the game, Lol.
That Walker miss, WOW. He didn't look offside. Really enjoyable this. Worth the 9 minute watch.

Watched this last night. Love how he slammed Walker for his miss, think he called him rubbish or something but then when their big lad hit the post from six yards out he was unlucky
