Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 4-0 Oldham Athletic

[southendkid]

I'll be honest, I saw the odds of 5/2 for Oldham and thought "easy money". I've never been so glad to lose to the bookies, the fact that despite everything that's been happening off the pitch we've been able to thrash one of the promotion favourites 4-0 is amazing.

The togetherness of this squad will allow us to shine!

There's your documentary, how the team wktn the smallest squad In professional football smashes one of the favourites for the league.

If we could add to this team we would be genuine contenders

Just spoken to a very happy D1versity, on his way home round the M25

As far as opening days go, that’s was probably the best I’ve ever known.

Every single one of those boys in blue, plus the management & the staff, deserve every plaudit we can physically give them.

Absolutely outstanding. From start to finish we were the better team. When we inevitably ran out of steam, we controlled and dictated the play.

Roll on the West Ham fans’ second team

Oh, and @Cricko, I told you we’d win 4-0

Really, i thought you said 6-0

SOUTHEND United brushed aside their off-field issues to secure a stunning 4-0 win against Oldham Athletic on the opening day of the National League season.

That’s what is so frustrating. At times last season we were unplayable and a total cut above. But all the other good sides signed additional players and we were stuck with what we had which meant we were only a few injured or out of form players away from a string of defeats at crucial times.

Hopefully being top of the league might attract some bids.

Stop the league

How did the Oldham star striker look? Considering it was Oldham nil presumably not all that

 

[Cricko]

So nice to see all of you buzzing again on the forums after the **** we have all been through these past 4 months.

Now just to get rid of RM would make it brilliant.

Out of interest, did you glance at the odds for Blues and get a price for 4-0?
Yeah, I know. I wouldn't have either, lol.

Only one game but I'm so happy for the management staff and players, becareful of the wounded animal.
It's going to be a very hard season but my God well done boys.

 

[meerkat54]

Well, I’ve got to say I got the result totally wrong today.
But 4-0 has stunned me. I think if we keep predicting defeat and win convincingly, who knows?
Congratulations to management, team and all supporters. May this long continue

 

[GBJ]

For those who missed it today, let me explain what that felt like…

I’d marry that game and father a bunch of mini-games with it.
