Official Match Thread Southend United v Bradford City

[southendkid]

Someone on the BBC Essex texts complaining all our players come from Bournemouth and we should be looking for a striker instead. I'm sure we'd like to be signing players from elsewhere but (since there's very little reason for players to choose us over another club) we're left with players that no one else wants (which means we likely also don't want them) or players that already know MM and want to work with him.

The new bloke keeps passing along the ground to feet to a bloke in a blue shirt. I like the strategy. He looks okay doesn't he ? Just one worrying moment when he went up for an aerial challenge and looked like despite being 8 foot tall he can't head the ball. Bad timing and looking the wrong way. Just the once though.

Selective memory, they could have scored several as well. Oxley had far more to do

Several? I didn’t see it like that. I think Ox made one, maybe two, good saves at most.

Have you got them shut. We need all 3 points badly. Open your eyes and look at the table.

We need all 3 points each week, that doesn't change and if we can get that fantastic. But on recent form Bradford are 5th. We are 5th bottom. So yes, I've seen the table, eyes wide open a point would not be a bad result.

Actually a great bit of entertainment so far. As jack13 said its our finishing not our formations thats the problem.

Elvis should have smashed that head high far let. Then he follows up with pitching wedge of a cross. deliveries, headers, free kicks should all have pace and make them count FFS.

Look out for their lad on set pieces. He does make them count and is the danger man.

Especially strange when you consider that Taylor, Hobson and the new lad all look good?

 

[Barry.C]

Whens Demi coming on?

 

[Rayleigh boy]

just need our forwards to get at them

 

[Boreham Blue]

Seems to be a recent tactic to leave the opposition out on the pitch getting cold before we come out

 

[The Big Dady]

Elvis goal and celebrations.

Hopefully someone is in the away changing room spraying Ralgex in their pants as well.

but they're decent players, that want to play for MM.

Yeah, I think it's a good sign that players that have worked with mm before are happy to work with him again. Unfortunately mm hasn't been at many clubs

Someone else claimed Matt Rush was the answer to our goal scoring problems.

 

[GBJ]

Can’t be allowing things like that to happen so easily

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

Come on Southend. Come on Southend

Stating he's scored goals at ALL levels ? yeah...other than League Two !

 

[jackj13]

ANG looks pretty on the ball but really has very little end product.

Needs to stop that nonsense.
