Official Match Thread Southend United vs Barnet

[RobB11]

Bin the squad bin the management team. All useless.

Maher needs to walk. I've had enough of these poor poor performances.
Don't blame Ron, we are set up wrong. Boring crab like football will get us nowhere except relegated

Same.

Called Bonne for Kendall 20 mins before it happened and the time it would happen on. SO ridiculous we have planned subs, just shows Maher has NO idea tactically imo. 3 up or 3 down, he'd take Kendall off for goals galore Bonne, cos its the modern way.

Clarke has bemoaned all the way through that we didn't change anything tactically despite it being obvious the way Barnet were playing, we were going to get no joy. But no... Maher not smart enough to see it or too stubborn to change it. Either way, it's not good enough now. He needs to go now.

Bring back Eric Steele!

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Bring back Crowther !

Bring back anyone, this lot are not up to the Job sadly

 

[Roger The Alien]

Maher must go!! I had enough of him, after all, players don’t want to come and join us!!

 

[hlane17]

Bring back Crowther !

No thanks he can pack his bags too when we clear this squad out.

The maher brigade must surely realise now enough is enough, yes he's been great throughout what we went through but now it's time to say thank you and goodbye, same tactics, no change in tactics when it's not working and like for like subs. Awful

 

[Holy Joe]

Waldron stripped off to come on?

 

[MisterStubbs]

Worryingly though, sacking Kevin Maher.. as much as I think it's the right time, I don't actually think it changes much. We've got a small squad that's been built to play one way and one way only. We need a overhaul in the summer but do we have the funds?

 

[Barry.C]

scraps for Waldron and Appiah

 

[AlfaShrimper]

Maher our for me unfortunately. Enough is enough. Time to show some ambition on the pitch rather than in the bar

 

[Barling Magna]

Morton's free kick is useless - straight to their keeper.

I don't think Kendall offered much at all but that said neither striker got any service. In actual fact our strikers haven't had any service all season because we don't play attacking football.
Bim scored goals because he created them himself.
In a more attacking set up with wingers in a 442 or 433 set up I do think Bonne will score goals but he's not going to under Maher. Nor will Walker, Kendall etc

Depends how many we can encourage to leave on a free to make some space in the wage bill

 

[Tony Allen]

COSU wont get rid. Stop going and reduce the revenue might make them take action

 

[seves]

Honest question, do we have training/coaching sessions

 

[Barry.C]

Benno to do post match chat?

I completely disagree. I think we have a number of decent players, some of who would flourish if a different style was adopted. The interesting thing to see would be who we've got that turns out to be a decent player if utilised differently. And Moncur is your example - awful for us - but clearly more than capable of playing at this level.

Doesn't look like it
