Official Match Thread Southend United vs Hartlepool United

[Jack_23]

Husin gets such a free pass with our fans . Honestly tell me the last time he played well? Been awful for so long . And bridge only decent game was Charlton this season

 

[Sherif H]

If anybody can extract one reason for Husin continuing to start in this team they must be on some very strong crack.
Offers nothing going forward, and shirks every single 50/50.

 

[Sentinel]

Should have gone to the rugby club. It's Southend 25-22 Amersham & Chesham at halftime.

 

[Benjamin]

What a load of tripe there the better side by a mile why do we attack with no intent side ways backwards and no wear

Why does Maher keep fu*king playing out of form players?

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Really not impressed with DAZN. NLTV used to be good most of the time for me but the DAZN app stream is so buggy.

It's working fine for me.

 

[kentblues]

The trouble with Maher is he is too slow to make a change? If it`s not working you need to try something different. We need a spark from someone in midfield, to spot a run from someone, have a go? They are well organised at the back, but don`t keep doing the same thing and be happy with a 0-0 Maherball bore draw. Commentators saying players make and run and then stop, if the run doesn`t work, come back and look to make another run, keep giving the defenders a problem and keep making those runs. I would try Kendall alongside Bim at the start of the second half. Maher won`t make any changes until his 65th minute has come?

I suspect Bim, Walker and Kendall are quite similar In that they would all prefer to be playing off someone. At the moment their CBs probably can’t believe their luck..

Need Coker and KAF for Moncur and Husin

 

[davewebbsbrain]

We need to sign Jesus. At least he knows what a cross is

 

[Holy Joe]

Another half where we've had lion share of possession, but not done much with it - just the 1 shot on target. And pool with the better chance in the game so far.

No idea what the formation is - didn't think it was a 532 until later in the half as bridge wasn't back in defence much.

Sitting in block x so I'm close to the attacking left side first half - looks like bridge and Moncur are trying to play in the same space

 

[Roger The Alien]

It’s look 5-3-2 what I see, I am very disappointed with that formation, we need to ditch playing at home, that is the reason why we have an sh*t home record.

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

We should be 2-0 down by now with literally no way back due to these tedious boring tactics which give us pretty much zero attacking threat going forward.

Surely we are at home with nearly 7000 fans Maher is in their ear before the game starts telling them to get the crowd going with some direct attacking football but we are doing the polar opposite ffs and its going to get us nowhere fast if we carry on like this.

We will lose quite a few of those extra paying fans off the gates with this type of performance.

Why does Maher keep fu*king playing out of form players?

Are you questioning Maher? Luddite. He is a tactical genius.

 

[Magnum PI]

Can't believe how a good bunch of highly rated players can continue to be so ineffective at home. That was a dismal half against a really poor physical side. Unless we wake up we will lose again at home. Starting to run out of patience with Maher. This division is as poor as any in last ten years and we are country mile away from threatening promotion

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Yes, Hartlepool are a well drilled team. Their defence is solid with five across the back, their strikers and midfielders press hard and high. They're quite physical too.

And unfortunately they look like a side that will make the play offs whereas we don't.

Now that would be a Phil Brown signing!

 

[Benjamin]

No subs shocker

 

[IloveShrimp]

Boring, HP are well organised. We are playing the wrong tactics and should play them on the break.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

We need to sign Jesus. At least he knows what a cross is

How about Onions? Would recognise the inside of an onion bag.

Seriously, our midfield was shocking first half. Wind was robbed of the ball by bigger, stronger blokes time and again. Bim played well all on his own. Seemed to be the only one who knew we were playing towards the North Bank first half.
