This could get embarassing...

 

[wiggy]

One up front at home….hes got to go!

 

[Holy Joe]

Collin mistake once again .. started to come for the ball.. then just stopped

He was never getting there. Correct decision to retreat back to his goal

 

[Westcliff DGS]

Seems to becoming clear we need a keeper

[stewart]

good night all , read all about it in the morning

 

[Holy Joe]

Dangerous cross from Moncur but no one at the back stick to tap in

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Tells you something about the cyclical nature of football.
Thirty years ago a Championship Southend would have slaughtered a Northern Prem (sixth tier) Gateshead.
Now The Heed are proving three decades is a long time in football

Or midfield / defence to stop that through ball, not leave players unmarked in the box?

 

[Mad Cyril]

Plenty of time to smash these Byker Grove ****s.

This could be a long afternoon. Or an emphasising one.

I've given Collin the benefit of learning and getting better with his kicking, but it's as bad as ever. Either going straight to them or straight off the sidelines. It really needs sorting.

It was only 18 years ago when we were in the championship

Because we have no-one going forward. It's like watching Southgate's England

Yeah I was thinking that a bit earlier - the movement from Gateshead when attacking is like chalk and cheese with our statues

Am assuming he practises, weight and direction and so on. Do nerves get the better of him come game time knowing this an Achilles heel?

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Hate to say it, but Gateshead are playing some great football.

But of course a bigger club has a greater opportunity to implode financially which we have done very well
