Official Match Thread Southend United v Chesterfield

[Holy Joe]

Good ball in but with the aid of TV, Ralph got caught too narrow.

Press on we aren't out of this.

Did Kensdale leave the cross? He just seemed to let it go by him, not sure if he could've cut it out but no attempt at all

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Seems to me that all our attacking intent is breaking down with Wood, which is a shame as he is a promising talent, but having a bad day today.

Husin seems to actually still be on international duty and our left side is showing no attacking intent at all.

Still unlucky to be behind the though.

Goal didn't look offside on the box, good timing on the run. Ralph caught too narrow, which gave the room for a quality ball in and finish.

That apart we have dealt well with them.

Could see Mooney for Wood later.

Our passing has been confident, and if Wood had anticipated Wes' cross it's 1 all. We have had chances and that's a positive.

Next goal is crucial and we need it. If we get it we could push Chesterfield onto the back foot. They get it and I fear it could be three or four.

Wood is not looking like he will be a regular first 11 player on this showing.

He's 20 and playing out of position so I won't write him off yet but ideally he shouldn't be starting for us now, needs more time to learn.

 

[TJC]

Not offside.

Was right in front of us in West. That was defo offside just before the goal

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Watching on TV. He was absolutely nowhere near being offside - played on by at least two Southend defenders. We were absolutely ****e in that first half - expect us to be miles better in the second but also think Southend will score. We don’t look at it so far today.

Not the striker, before that

If he throws himself at it I don't think he's gonna get there quite and if he does most likely an own goal.

From where we were sitting the winger looked offside when the ball was passed to him, not the striker.

 

[sufclee]

Nope as shown on tv nowhere near offside before or after.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Not the striker, before that

That's what I am commenting on, from the side angle the midfielder runs from deep, before Colclough has time to spread the ball wide for the cross.

Clear as a bell on the replay.

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Not offside.

Not from the cross, before in the build up when their guy did a back heel

 

[Boreham Blue]

I'm in West right in line and the Lino was miles behind play. Everyone went up for offside. Not the final passage of play with the ball into the box but the build up.

 

[Whispering Bob]

Do not deserve to be behind. The little things like not gambling, not getting our heads up, being on our heels or turning out the wrong way are making a difference. The long balls negate the likes of Coker and Fonguck, when Wes did get the ball to feet he caused havoc in the box. Kanu would have notched if playing. Suspect Mooney may be on for Wood soon.

The finish yes, well on side, but earlier in the build up - looks close, not a great TV angle.

No the winger was onside. Before that looks close, ball from the right from close to half way into the middle

 

[Tony Allen]

We can't be doing early subs when we only have two

 

[Holy Joe]

Haven't seen the south lower that full for years

 

[Rob1920]

If we had a Will Grigg we’d be at least level. As with Wrexham and Notts County last season, that’s what money gets you. It gives you such a huge advantage in this league. Not saying it’s only money that does it but blimey does it help.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

First touch is costing us. Get that right and it becomes a different game.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Cards was onside there.
