Post-Match Thread and Ratings Torquay United 1-0 Southend United

[Leigh_Seasider]

Feel sorry for the travelling fans.

Don’t. I was quite merry well before kick off and have had a lovely time. Out to enjoy the delights of Torquay. The football? ****.

What more can be said?

Only bit of hope I guess is if Brown is sacked, Tom Lawrence would have a bigger say on the next manager as Brown was here before he got appointed?

Who would want to come and take over this bunch of wasters....

Great stinking yarbles.

To save money but still get that same old Southend United experience: just **** in a bag, hold it over your head and wait 89 minutes. Then proceed to empty contents of bag on own head.

Now, let's not mess about this time like we did with MM. Brown is spent, awful signings, set up to just not lose games instead of having a go and trying to win them. Let's not kid ourselves Phil was aiming for 0-0 with a slim possibility of an own goal from them saving the day.

We are playing a 90 year old defender who was hardly Maldini during him pomp and playing ultra defensive to "support" him! He's not going to win us games, in fact the only game we did win was one when he wasn't fit! This team is seriously crap, but I we have a chance as we have a decent strike force, if only Phil believed that was where the support should be...supplying them.

Enoughs enough, protests need to happen next home game

 

[Barling Magna]

I'm seriously worried now. We finally have two strikers who know where the net is and we focus on defence and give our strikers no proper service. PB needs to open his eyes, and his mind.

 

[Joolz]

I’d give Brown 3 more games. The players, whilst not world beaters, are better than 19th. I think they’ve stopped playing for him, and I’m not surprised.

Torquay is lovely.... Enjoy.

 

[Fairport]

With this squad you can't see where a goal is coming from especially when Murphy is substituted.

 

[Wickford Blue]

So who does Phil throw under the Bus today?? The players we have signed just do not seem to be doing the business - did we have any shots on target??

Same. Great town. Lovely people. I'm not gonna let our **** club mess my weekend up.

Only way back to EFL is a Phoenix club.

Pure rotten

This is out of character for you OBD.

Even if we do sack Brown, it worries me that a big chunk of budget has already been spent on these absolute dossers. New man won’t have much chance of bringing in any quality when we’re stuck paying the contracts of these bottlers

 

[Thunderbolt & Lightfoot]

Looks like PB, CF, RD and whoever the recruitment guy is have badly misjudged this league. Desperately need someone in charge who knows this league

Agreed but better to be without him than with him even with the same players.

You know things are bad when even Onion Bag Dave cant be positive.

 

[Chapperz]

Big questions are who will Brown throw under the bus and what physical punishment will they be doing tomorrow?

 

[meerkat54]

Does anybody not think we will get relegated again. That’s if we make it until the end of the season.
It’s all getting beyond depressing now !

 

[Benfleet Blue]

Abysmal just abysmal. Old players past their sell by date. Slow and talentless. Atkinson couldn't get a club for 2 years and we take him on. Offers nothing. PB takes off our most talented player, Bridge. The guy is absolutely clueless and RM must be rubbing his hands as it appears we haven't long left. I will be surprised if there is a SUFC come the end of this season. Our scouting system must be absolutely abysmal as all other teams realise you need pace and fitness to get out of this division and all we do is employ a manager who is really now out of touch and sign geriatrics. RD has moved to Director of Football but for what purpose? What actually does he now do? He I believe had the end say in letting Ricky Holmes go and quite truthfully what I'd give to have someone of his quality here now. We let him go and sign Atkinson which is absolutely criminal.
If RM is in charge at the end of the season I'll be surprised if we still have a club.
I don't think their goalkeeper had a save to make. Absolutely awful.

How Anton Robinson (scout) is still in a job with the s**t we've brought in the last couple years I don't know. One of the world's greatest mysteries
