Official Match Thread Southend United vs Gateshead.

[wiggy]

Clueless and they are much the better football team.
Bridge is so ineffective now and a new game plan is required

Will we ever have a cross that finds a Southend head

Are there any footballers out there 15 feet tall?

Crowther on for Taylor at HT according to Chris Philips. Hope Taylor hasn't got a knock!

Ah... apparently according to commentary he tweaked his hamstring

He over stretched for a ball and was slightly limping for last 5 mins or so of the half. Hopefully just a light strain and just taken off as a precaution

Thank god we now have a squad, assumed Taylor had picked up a knock

 

[Tony Allen]

Not watching so surprising that William Hill currently have Gateshead at 11/2 to win

 

[Holy Joe]

Is crowther normally left sided CB or ok at right as well?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Sadly I agree with the commentary - Dackers needs to work harder. I like him as a player but he won't rediscover his best form unless he's working harder than all the people around him on the pitch. At the moment he's a long way off being able to say that.

 

[Holy Joe]

It's almost like everyone's a bit complacent now they have 2.5 yr contracts

 

[LeedsSUFC]

We signed them because we were playing a CB and a utility player up top

That isn’t the point. Fans have been begging us to sign Dackers since he left, why? He’s such a poor player and has never shown any good form of any kind.

Sandat I’ll give a fair understanding, we were still under embargo and needed a man, but surely we could have done better.

 

[Holy Joe]

I'm thinking Waldron on for one of the front 2. And Sandat in for Wes

 

[Jassyfa2]

Bugger

 

[Holy Joe]

Good stop from Collin

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

****

 

[Holy Joe]

Another assist for Bridge

 

[mark387]

That was awful. Collin doesn't deserve that, he did well to keep that out and the defence should have done much much better

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Well that was predictable. Kev please can we have Waldron on for Dackers, and we might need to replace Wes with Morton (?) too

All to do...strange, eh?
We have no spare players - and we win.
We have new contracts and four new faces and we struggle.

Personally would take Husin off, keeps giving the ball away. Seemed to happen at this stage last year as well from what I can remember.
