Official Match Thread Southend Utd Swindon Town

Fortune wins a corner.................. this is our last chance............. Demetriou swings it in, Thompson heads....... Wordsworth shoots strongly but again the Swindon keeper saves it.

Crazy to have thrown away two points there. We were so dominant in the first half but took our foot off the pedal in the second half and paid the penalty.

14 corners to Southend, 1 to Swindon.

Colchester won 3-0 at Cheltenham. Robins have been a bit of a pain for us tonight........

Spot on, what I said on the other thread, we sat back.... and invited them with our deep play, defending our one goal lead, we must keep pressing for more goals, they did the same after scoring... deep defending.

The goal came from us NOT sitting back. Thompson stayed up from a corner for some unknown reason and was closing the keeper down. When they broke, Lenny had dropped into centre back, which left that midfield holding role wide open and they strolled through. Don't get me wrong, I don't like parking the bus, but we weren't this time we just got a bit sloppy in posession at the start of the second half
