Official Match Thread Southend United vs Sutton United

[Medway Blue]

Anyway, would never have happened were it not for Jack Bridge's poor and ill-disciplined hospital pass on the edge of Sutton's box.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

HT 1-1

No it hasn't. That's the first time Sutton have come anywhere near to troubling us today, and Eastleigh barely troubled us either?

What's that got to do with us finally having a **** up punished?

 

[LBBlue]

Sutton are just all aggression and running quickly - not a footballer amongst them - dithering on the ball is what cost us

 

[Sufc.2008]

Came from not taking chances when attacking, a few questionable final passes. Still we’ve played well, need to keep the energy from the first minute of the second half. Pepple has done pretty well but I’d like to see Bonne after half time.

 

[TJC]

Bit of a blip. We have dominated so will be triumphant in the end

 

[Flinty]

Poor so far, as far removed from Tuesday as you can get…Sutton are the worst side here so far …and their goal scorer, what a **** !

Just pointing out that you said "it's been coming for a few games".....when we haven't ****ed up in the last few games.

We must be watching a different game. Yes there’s been a couple of mistakes but we’ve generally played the ball around well and had some decent chances. I think you could get a lot further removed from Tuesday than this!

Ahh I meant we have had moments in each game that could have been punished, this time we have been

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

This is where the management go to work.
They need to remind the team of how well they've played for the last 140 plus minutes, and mentally get rid of that blip.

 

[Hooly]

Should be winning this easily but as Clarkey pointed out just before the goal our defenders are getting in each others way quite a bit.

Sutton are dire & there is a lot of off the ball stuff that the ref isn't seeing & quite a few tackles that a rugby team would be happy with.

When we pass at speed we make them look very poor but my worry is that we've gone to looking back before passing so their bodyshapes are wrong which Clarkey is also worried about. As for Collin's kicking it ain't good.

Clumsy mistake slides us down to 14th

Apologies I meant as a spectacle, very scrappy, that didn’t come across in my message

If we do get a 2nd half winer we'll be back in the play off places where we belong

 

[Boreham Blue]

Just feel we look edgy at the back today even before the howler. Not sure Morton is making himself available enough to pick the ball from the back line in build up. We need to stick to what we are doing going forward and other chances should come.

No we will be a point off the playoffs but with a game in hand. We were 10th before we conceded

 

[Holy Joe]

Shocking mistake to let a woeful team back into it.

Gubbins and Crowther at fault I believe

Need to see it again, but thought it was Taylor and Crowther?

 

[Flinty]

Oh and the ref is awful !

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Blimey 2.1 down now :-(
