Official Match Thread Southend United v Barrow AFC

[thenobster]

That’s his contract gone

 

[Floval Flyer]

FFS ! Stupid by Halford, but Barrow player made a meal of it. It can’t have hurt that much !

Soft Northern monkeys!

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Sorry, MM takes the blame for that; Halford should have come off at half time and we should have gone 4 at the back

 

[Ipswhrimp]

Yup, our visiting friend was right about the second yellow

 

[Dubai]

Col U prick. Bye bye.

 

[superblue24]

Break your arm off for a point at this point.

 

[GNH]

Just seen the second yellow on SS with Jeff.

Soft one but just looked slow to the ball, don't make those unecessary challenges on the half way line if you've already been booked

 

[Boreham Blue]

We all saw the risk of the second yellow and he wasn’t a crucial player to take the risk with. He should have been off at half time

 

[cerbera45]

Col U reject ;-)

 

[dusterman]

At least we can play 441 now

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Don't offer Halford a contract now

 

[MisterStubbs]

I know I said I wanted us to change from having 5 at the back but that wasn’t the way to do it.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

He looked like a mistake waiting to happen all afternoon. Bit annoying when we have options

 

[OrangeyBrown]

We all saw the risk of the second yellow and he wasn’t a crucial player to take the risk with. He should have been off at half time

On the other hand, if you always sub off your players on a yellow at half time you won't have many subs left. Halford has more experience than anyone on the pitch and should have been clever enough to play until the 70th min or so before we had to make a change.

 

[Boreham Blue]

441 will suits us but means the high press will have to be sacrificed

 

[Mad Cyril]

Should have wrapped it up there...

 

[crangoner]

Col U prick. Bye bye.

Think he could do a lot better defensively than Elvis (which isn’t hard tbf)

?

 

[NZamba Legend]

Should have scored. Plus side is we are playing better with 10

 

[Paddington Blue]

It was a soft second yellow card- not sure it was really a booking but the referee had made his mind up quickly
