Official Match Thread Southend United v Bradford City

[kentblues]

Transfer window absolutely critical

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Bringing on Richard Taylor at 3-1 down sums it up for me really.

MM is becoming more clueless with every game

 

[Southend schoolboy]

John Whites recent performances have been indefensible. 0% pass completion rate, spoons everything either out or to the oppositions. Today has been all over the place. 4 at the back please, and actually go after teams. This is woefully bad

 

[gazza]

Has there ever been a more depressing week to be a Shrimper? I struggle to think of one.

Pick many options from the last 3 years. Plenty of candidates.

 

[Chairman Trigg]

16 goals scored when you're leaking goals every game shows where the problem is ......so we bring in a defender ....clueless

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Was inside the box mate

How do you know? You're looking at it from 40 yards and at an angle. Perleeze...

 

[somer77]

There is no coincidence that we changed a winning formation 3 games ago and now we have lost the last 3!!

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Richard Taylor on for JW.

Puts R Taylor left midfield; why not bring Clifford on; MM is having a laugh

 

[ESG]

We are well and truly screwed now.

Ron will be dreaming of National League football in his nice new 2 sided stadium.

 

[Sufc.2008]

Poor bench options though. Who else is going to come on

Sounds like a problem for the manager to solve to me!

 

[Wickford Blue]

Simple fact is they have scored with their chances - we had two glorious chances and missed!
If Elvis could kick with his left foot its a goal!

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Moseley Out brigade back already. Predictable.

Sorry, I apologise, he's doing a great job

It’s clear as day from the slo-mo replay - very obvious

 

[Worcester Shrimper64]

I don’t understand. We’re not out of trouble and the target before the season started was survival. We’re not far from that and yet people expect to win every game. We’re not going to. Very frustrating from some people

We are over half way through the season and not looking like winning a game. Its not good enough. Look at the table. ROCK BOTTOM of the efl.

 

[Barling Magna]

Acquah on for Demi.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

R Taylor? Clueless. Hang on, it's Emil.

 

[wiggy]

just not good enough...men v boys and they have a bloke who don't mess about up front....all of ours mess about....down we go!

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

If we win this 6-3 I'll eat my retro shirt

 

[southendkid]

The last time things were this bad, MM was blameless as he couldn't make signings... This week needing goals, he signed a centre back... I'm not sure he's as blameless this time.

We have no money and we're bottom of the league, we aren't exactly in a position to sign good players even though we're out of the embargo. Our bench is awful, do you think we're not trying to make better signings?

 

[hlane17]

Technically on points, we aren't dead and buried. But we're sure looking it on the pitch now. How can things decline so quickly?

The addiction with playing safe football e.g. 5 at the back is not helping.
