Official Match Thread Southend United v Mansfield Town

[NZamba Legend]

Akinola is a nice player

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Macca or Dieng off at half time, and bring Clifford on and move Hart left midfield

 

[ESG]

Macca just applied more strapping to his thigh....may not last they 90 minutes

 

[Holy Joe]

They're overloading that area of pitch, they had 3 players out wide right (our left) then

They are destroying us down our left

 

[in the know]

Would like to see someone organising us better on the pitch. Macca maybe. We seem a bit disorganised and ragged. Chasing all the time.
Though we could be being made to look that way. Mansfield playing well

 

[Jcd]

Taylor has misplaced so many passes today

 

[geoffmundo]

Need to get to half time without conceding

 

[Shrimpersfan]

Worryingly it seems macca is the only player giving his all to win the ball back

 

[The Big Dady]

Macca you naughty naughty boy.

 

[Rob1920]

Well we are generally a 'one half' team so hopefully this is the bad half..

Unfathomable that Clifford is fit enough to warm the bench for this and the past few games but can't now come in and cover the LB area allowing Hart to push up and deal with less on the left.
Anyone manager watching the Cambridge and Grimsby games would see this as the flank to target and Mansfield are doing well at it so far.

 

[Southend schoolboy]

Akinola down the middle and ANG on for halford 2nd half. Halford up top a very strange choice from MM

Hart is doing this. Missing Demi's energy a bit though

 

[superblue24]

A point would be an amazing result

 

[blueblueblue]

We're dire, not winning any second balls. The only possitive is we're defending hard.

 

[rlb999]

We miss the quality of Olayinka.

 

[Barling Magna]

Can we hold on until half time?

 

[Chalky]

Get Clifford on that left side.

 

[superblue24]

Get Clifford on that left side.

Bwomono seems injured, so that could complicate such a change.

 

[Holy Joe]

Raining in Southend? Sunny in wickford!
