Official Match Thread Southend United vs Aldershot

[Morty01]

Who chose to play this **** ****ing summer song then

 

[Holy Joe]

looks like the other results are not going our way

Just looked at the Live League Table and we dropped into the relegation places :-(

Is it right - Dorking are losing but have moved above us

 

[glenmaster]

Can't complain at the that. We lack pace. They on the other hand break with purpose and when they get a chance to shoot, they work the keeper.

 

[Tony Allen]

Get some ****ing MEN in this midfield

Yes need some older heads but not crocked ones like in the past. However that doesn't seem to be the recipe in recruitment

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

It has to be 100 times better and Miley needs to prove why he shouldn't be dropped, he's had a stinker so far.

 

[Cricko]

The difference between the two sides is they break at pace we take a stroll up the pitch.

 

[Strykr]

Lets reminisce about the golden embargo days when we played high press and won games....

 

[wiggy]

Paul Clarke spot on as always, Aldershot break at pace with numbers and we fart arse about with no pace and no numbers.
Mahers methods will take us nowhere in the future, horrible to watch!

Bullied by Aldershot who look like a bunch of overweight cloggers at the best of times.

Gifting them a goal is the last thing we needed to do. They’ll sit behind it now and know we’ll happily give them a break every now and then.

Powderpuff midfield. Waldron looks good but Cardwell virtually invisible. Would pull Cards at HT.

 

[seves]

It's all so predictable when we get in oppos half, when Aldershot get in ours they look like scoring at will.
Clarke hits the nail on the head, they attack in numbers, we're lucky to have 2 in the box

 

[Shrimper]

Absolute dog****

 

[southendkid]

Far too many mistakes in midfield, Aldershot haven't done much except wait for us to pass to them but it's led to 4 or 5 clear cut chances for them.

 

[gatecrasher]

Is crab ball in full affect today?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Oh what a surprise: no Wes and we can’t string anything together

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Aldwer**** are where they are for a reason.So are we unfortunately.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

A good save by Collin but should have been a free kick as O'Keefe pushed Bridge over.

Early subs please Kev
Or a rocket up their proverbial bottoms

 

[Strykr]

Aldwer**** are where theyb are for a reason.So are we unfortunately.

Yes the gap is becoming more apparent with each passing week...

 

[South Bank Hank]

A few things stand out to me

We’ve somehow lost that spirit that came from everything and everyone being against us. Where has that collective pressing gone that continually saw us over performing?

Miley is seriously off the pace. Mistake after mistake at the moment from the player who would normally be the first name on the team sheet?

Our midfield is just not working. We need that **** house and we need creativity that doesn’t always mean “get the ball to Bridge”.

Disappointing at the moment as we’re losing to a team that wants it more and is set up better to go get it.

Digging for positives, Ralph is head and shoulders above anything else on the pitch at the moment, and simply doesn’t deserve to be on a losing side. Class act.

 

[in the know]

Without our help they’ve created absolutely nothing. We’ve started all their moves by giving it away.
Stamp that out from half time and play our football further up the pitch, not in our own back third ffs!
Let’s get fonguck on and see if we can get bridge playing better.

 

[duncan bulgaria]

Not good enough I’m afraid , better team winning , I honestly thought we had enough quality to really make a push for the play offs last month but we are so far off other teams .
There’s a lot of positive posters on here and I admire their outlook but I’m starting to worry we don’t have the right set up to take us forward and out of this league
