Official Match Thread Southend United vs Oxford United

[Tampa Blue]

If you've played the game at any reasonable level then you know that pace has a major advantage even if it not directly.

Defenders can't get so tight to you for fear of being turned and then you're away and they can't catch you, therefore a player with pace often gets a bit more space and therefore time than a lumbering player without pace gets.

Wish i could see it but it sounds like shades of Britt last year?

 

[Pubey]

Why pass it? Timlin miles offside

 

[bishmania]

If I become a better person for this Harry Bullocks then I'm blaming you... Dare not go. Would definitely lose 3-2 if I went now.

Plus u can never relax on the ball knowing that u will get closed down quickly - it makes them resort to head and volleying

Your place in heaven is assured.... (well I hope so come 9.35)

Certainly is a great asset to have, but you still need to be a decent player. Straker is quick yet most of the time doesn't deliver when he is on the ball.

Loza seems very confident, just picked out a lovely pass to the wing just then.

 

[tottenham541]

We still giving them chances:sad:

 

[Jam_Man]

They are getting their moments, really could do with getting to half time without conceding.

 

[duncan bulgaria]

Could be about 4-2 already - very open game

 

[MK Shrimper]

Should be 3. Greedy Loza.

 

[Beefy]

Seriously sloppy play at times at both ends.

 

[PEEJ]

The midfield is going missing when Oxford have the ball. Are we committing too many going forward?

 

[Smiffy]

Like the look of Loza. He has Loza pace and loza enthusiasm.

 

[Pubey]

This. One of our midfielders needs to sit a lot deeper because we're too open at the moment

 

[Jam_Man]

Think I need to go to the loo so we get a 3rd..

 

[blues_r_best]

Sokolik looks shaky so far, luckily Egan has been covering him.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Think I need to go to the loo so we get a 3rd..

Take your time....no rush

Gary Waddock looking like a young Ron Martin on the sidelines

 

[Jam_Man]

Came back from putting daughter to bed and we hadnt scored but instantly cleared one off the line, lucky I got back when I did...
