Keenan and Leon been unbelievable

 

[overseas shrimper]

So far so deja vu

We had a good first half, some really good individual performances... and we're in the lead... against a team right up there. Take the positives, there's a few of them.

Is this where Oldham get a rocket at half time and we turn into fence posts?

 

[Che's Left Foot]

What Southend are we going to get in the second half?

Come on Kev, give em a rousing team talk and let's push on.

Everything seems a step up on Tuesday.

We have even put dangerous crosses in the box.

Everything crossed we can continue in the same vain in the second half.

All the players have done their bit.

COYB!

Dare I say it we are in total control of the game so far , surely Oldham can’t be this powder puff second half . However credit to our boys , been so great performances this far , KAF has been everywhere and Leon is the player we have been after all season , plays in cruise control and glides past players at ease ……what a find

 

[duncan bulgaria]

One thing I would say is that we have played to our strengths, got the ball forward quickly and with purpose - KAF and Leon backing the front 2 up quickly and Oldham struggling to contain the directness

Morton having a great game again, everything is going through him

 

[blues exile]

Clean sheet well overdue. Please let it be tonight.

Geez I hope not!

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

You can’t blow for half time there can you?

You can blow wherever you want, but usually in the spirit of the game, not while there is an attack.
Was it the turn away from goal the reason the ref blew?

See I’m Morton biggest fan but for his standards I think he has been poor

 

[Smiffy]

Good 45. But need to turn up 2nd half. Oldham surely have to be better and we need to be ready for that. Fondop bound to be a threat.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Hobson having a horrid time.

Notice his contribution to the goal. Not the first time LCP went past - but his reaction.

By his standards yep, you’re probably right. Not so good. Plenty of time to put that right.

 

[sufc4life21]

An ok 45 minutes from us but helped by oldham being so poor. From entertainment value so far this isn't great game to watch. Hopefully the second half will liven up.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Second sub from Oldham at HT

No no. Lock KM in the loo. God knows what he says at half time.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Another good ball into the box.

 

[Barling Magna]

Good header by Bonne, then great work by KAF.
