Another evening to be miserable.

Losing away at the league favourites is one thing. Losin at home to this sack of **** side is quite simply shocking. Not good enough, forget dreams of promotion unless something changes drastically.

I agree it's not good enough but Burton are a useful L2 side.Are we?

Well it's looking like thats the current option, I'm not sure PS has got too much to offer, given that this is he's first full year of player selection

Bring back Paterson.

Too soon for that sort of talk I think but he won't survive a long losing run.Last season people were prepared to give him plenty of slack because of the circumstances in which he took over.As you say this is now his team.

Player for player, on paper, I think we have one of the strongest squads in the league. Whether that means it's a good TEAM is debateable. Poor decisions with regards to starting 11 today. Grant is no wide man and Sawyer was desperately needed.

I sew Burton as a very poor L2 side!

I'm doing the game on the 13 Sept, so will have a chance to evaluate in person, but from what I read thinks do look a little bleak, we should not be losing to Crawley or Burton at this point in the season

And I'll be over for the Plymouth game on the 17th.I agree about Burton not Crawley though.

Wow, just wow. 4 games into the season and we are already slagging the manager off. I'm not Sturrock's biggest fan, but look at what he has had to deal with this week with the Mohsni incident and players getting injured.

We haven't started the season firing on all cylinders, but do we really want to do that? Hit top form at the start of the season and then burn out towards the end and miss out on promotion. I'd rather wait us churn out results for the next couple of months and then, when the team has completely gelled together, start to show the form that will make us get promotion out of this league.

I am fully expecting to be criticised for "talking out of my arse" or for having "rose-tinted", but if this post was made before the Crawley game (less than a week ago!), then it would have been similar to the other posts.

Ok I'm off out of here have a good evening

Oh do grow up, every manager in every league has injuries, suspensions and disciplinary issues to deal with, it's part of the job so why are you making excuses for PS ? I doubt he would even use those excuses himself, the man may not be a great manager but he's normally quite honest in his post match analysis, it's just a shame he's so stubborn at times.

The Sawyer situation must have more to it because he could have torn this lot apart toda, if it's really a case of preferring others then I have to question his decision on that.

Very very poor today.

I agree with your remarks which I've highlighted above.However losing at home to Burton would seem to indicate that we're perhaps not capable of reaching the playoffs this season,which was after all, our pre-season benchmark.

66% of the possession, 15 shots and 12 corners, no goals - typical southend :sad:

I wouldn't even bother, rationale is not well known on these boards.
Good post though mate. Agree with every word, so we will now be placed into the rose-tinted brigade! :stunned:
