Pre-Match Thread Southend United v FC Halifax Town, Tuesday 11th February, 19:45k.o., NL

I really don't know what to expect tonight. Which Blues team are going to turn up and will the formation dictate the match pace from our perspective?

I haven't posted as much over the weekend, because Saturday was a sledgehammer blow to me of just how ineffective our frontline really is.

Pip summed it up perfectly in the Vlog from Saturday. You can dominate the midfield, you can dominate the final third, you can dominate crosses into the box, but if you don't score then all that means nothing.

We are crying out for more creativity and ruthlessness, no not crying out for, NEED is a better word, because if we don't become more creative and ruthless, then we are stuck down here until we change to find those aspects of football.

It’s with a heavy heart that after more than 5 decades of supporting the blues I have decided not to attend tonight and stay at home. I really can’t face to leave home at 6pm to get parked, then freeze my nuts off whilst being bored to death.

It feels like I am falling out of love with my team

Sorry.

I'm the same as you my friend I just can't muster the enthusiasm to watch another 90 minutes of Maher ball on a cold Tuesday night

No need to apologise, I think a lot of has have been there at various times. Just don't lose the love and come back at sometime soon.

I think tonight will be a good indication to see if the dressing room has been lost …another abject performance and I will start to believe it has

Bonne will score a hat-trick now

You know it! I hope he does tbh.

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

I seriously thought about not going. But I’ve had a **** day so why not let Southend ruin it even more?! Couldn’t sit there knowing we were playing and watch tv to be honest.
