Official Match Thread Southend United vs Oxford United

[SUFCStu]

Southend's finishing has been crap... thankfully so has Oxford's.

Brown is going to be furious again.

Can't say that I'm overly happy ..:whistling:

Neither am I... 2 points gained when they could have got six is infuriating. It's the story of the season and to me the nail in the coffin for the season. We ain't going to get the 10+ points back we should have got.

Another nail in the coffin of PB?

1-1... FT #infuriating

 

[SUFCStu]

Well that was entertaining. Though it came from bad defending and some hilarious misses.

 

[Barling Magna]

That result is entirely the fault of 5scoops:

Going to be lot goals me thinks

Not in the slightest.... If the performance was crap then you'd have a point.. But it wasn't UTB..

So good performances but not picking up points could leave us in the relegation zone. Still think Ron will stick with Brown then?

You don't turn things in around overnight, so long as the performances are as good as today we'll start picking up points, poor finishing is why we didn't win today but the more chances we make the more accurate we'll get. Sacking Brown when we're starting to improve would be stupid and disrupt the improvements we're starting to see.

Improvements??? Of the last 3 games, we have lost one and drawn two and have dropped further down the table. That's not improvement on the previous few games. At least we won a couple of games then.

If we get much closer to the bottom four there will be more than one.

Last two performances have been pretty good.

Lots of chances created and playing some good football.

Been the better of the two sides in both matches.

I know that but how many points did it get us? Playing well doesn't equal points unfortunately. I know playing well is a good thing but we need to start converting playing well into points or we are doomed

 

[AndyT]

Two points and could have been six points on another day.

If we measure it purely on points gained, then yes the results aren't going to plan, but if we measure the improvement on the way the team is playing, creating chances and so on, there has been an improvement on the match at Portsmouth and a couple of the previous home matches.

Sooner or later you have to convert good performances into points, but that will come if you carry on putting in the improvements in the way we play. You can't keep playing well and losing. Things will shift.

Why oh why Timlin FFS!!!!!!!!

Very strange. A player being picked woefully out of form, out of position and now not 100% fit. I just hope they don't attack too much down that side.

So which one of you two wants to apologise to Timlin and PB first......
