Official Match Thread Southend United vs Halifax Town

[Holy Joe]

We grew into the half. Created a few chances but finishing not upto scratch

 

[Tampa Blue]

Any idea on the crowd numbers?

 

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

Nice to see a freekick to result in a surging attack ... for the opposition

Going for the assist.

 

[Barling Magna]

Blimey, no additional time.

We have had several chances. We're playing better in this match.

 

[Ealingshrimp]

If we could brake with pace, we wouldn't have a wall of players in front of us to smash the ball into.

 

[Suffering shrimper]

Played well there other than the first 10 deserve to be 1 up at least

 

[kentblues]

After the first ten or so pretty decent. Again it’s just that quality where it’s needed in and about the box.

 

[Jack_23]

Improvement. Need to put one of them chances away because I really don’t trust us defensively . Goodliffe looks shaky. But overall better than last 2 games .

Freudian slip there with that spelling of break when speaking of Southend United.

Maher ball killing the game again.

 

[Pak Power]

Actually although 0-0 quite enjoyable. Thought first ten minutes we were going to get stuffed , and we still have to be aware of their pace on the break, but we've given them a few worrying moments.

could go either way, will probably end up 0-0

 

[Shr1mperBlue]

A reasonably first half performance. Kev absolutely insistent that we need to attack and counter quickly. Telling the forwards when to make their runs, when to go and when to stop. Like a training session.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Who was it in the pre -match thread that predicted this would be a boring 0-0 draw?

Who was it in the pre -match rhread that predicted this would be a boring 0-0 draw?

About 5,000 Southend fans.

 

[RHB]

A shaky start and Halifax bang up for it, but as the half wore on we played ourselves into the game. With a bit more composure we could be one up. Noor Husin seems intent on giving the ball away in dangerous areas. so I would hook him now ready for the second half.

Absolute rubbish .

 

[duncan bulgaria]

Even first half , Halifax started brightly and put us under pressure for the first 15 mins and I thought here we go ….however we have dominated the final 25 mins , we had a number of corners and free kicks and have created a few half chances
bridge and Kendall getting on the ball a bit more and causing some problems whilst Walker is also showing glimmers of pace

Really like the look of their CF Cooke , very lively player

What game are you watching? Can't be this one.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

I know one should look for positives, so, OK, GSM, Taylor, Ralph a bit, but the rest?
Husin, Bridge, Kendall, Walker - despite the shot at the keeper - Hopper, Goodliffe and Morton just exasperate.
Bonne for Kendall, Parillon for Husin, please, but leave the rest on the bench; they're worse!

Sorry Snowy,poor finishing is killing our chances,
Maher cannot be blamed for the poor misses by the players
