Official Match Thread Southend United vs Barnet

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Keep the Faith.....still 45 mins left.....turn this round and we could only be 4 points off of the play offs!

 

[mark387]

How long do they get that excuse for?

Until they are not putting their hands in their pockets to cover a shortfall and mountains of debt probably

Questions have to be asked.

You're not asking actual questions you are making allegations in a form of a question

 

[Suffering shrimper]

FFS! When will Miley learn not to dive in! Utterly Stupid!

At least he has a pair of bollocks and puts a foot in to many fairy’s in the team

 

[gatecrasher]

Sideways passing

Only when they are feeling adventurous...mostly backwards

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Barely gets 5 mins a game

...a bit longer, perhaps? But in those short spells you take your chances.
He had a glorious chance against Braintree in the dying embers but fluffed it, and so on...

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

...but you do need to get in early for those free transfers. That embargo was no friend, eh?

Since free transfers have been occurring all season including last week, I'd say no to that.

We seem to be looking, talking and trying for sure.

Perhaps, we are looking, talking and trying in the wrong places?

 

[Roger The Alien]

It’s **** poor, not good enough and I agree with some on here, Maher has to go. This game remind me of us losing 2-0 to Fleetwood in January 2018 and Phil Brown got the sack.

 

[gatecrasher]

One of the worst first half of football I've ever seen from us. 5 natural defenders and 2 defensive midfielders tells you that we are petrified of the opposition.

I've seen the " one of the worst half's of football line" too many times this season - we have been horrendous since game 1

 

[WestyReturns]

How long do they get that excuse for?

They got the club for free, they took assets such as the training ground and stadium (into a different business outside of COSU SUFC). You can’t claim a club for a quid, then moan there is debt…if there wasn’t it would’ve cost a few more quid.

Then priced season tickets at a point just about taking the **** they knew they could get away with. The fans backed them heavily and then hardly put a penny back into the squad. They then sold our best player, our CB left for free, we signed one striker for a quid and another on a freebie. A loan they let go back and not replace…

Questions have to be asked.

Not asking questions of the owners is what got us into this ****.

Total lack of understanding. Its not the new consortiums fault......yet. until they stick with Kev next year

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Barnet are out early:we aren't,

 

[Holy Joe]

Barnet are out early:we aren't,

Kev got his hairdryer out?

I'd be interested in any 'free' transfer we missed in your opinion.
Am assuming these came with reasonable wages and no hefty signing-on fee?

Almost every successful football club owner sticks their hands into their pocket, unfortunately it’s the game.

Do I agree with how football is ….no? But I’d rather we play the game and get a wealthy owner in than accept non-league budgets and getting squashed by massive clubs like Barney and ****ing Forest Green Rovers.

I’ve got nothing against the consortium, but they need to go and get investment in the group if they don’t want to spend their hard earned cash (which is their right) but I have much more interest in our club being successful than our balance books.

I haven't said we've missed any, but they are there, in answer to your statement that you need to get in early for free transfers.
you don't !

Personally couldn't care less if we never pay a transfer fee ever again if it means we are never hours from not existing like we were.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Out of our current squad, I'd keep:

• Collin
• GSM
• Taylor
• Ralph - only if he gives up the armband
• Golding - if we could sign him
• Morton
• Coker

The rest could go and I don't think we'd miss them. Nothing personal but they aren't remotely up to it.

I think Wind brings something to the party

That's confusing...we haven't missed any, we don't need to get in early, but free transfers are there for the taking? OK....

 

[rlb999]

We've brought Bridge on. Another who is not the player he was two years ago and needs a fresh challenge to reignite his fire.

 

[JD]

Drummer in the north bank with 10 or so singers.
The others in the west.

Fair enough mate if that’s what makes you happy, **** NL and admitting being average as **** …it’s not for me.
