Post-Match Thread and Ratings Yeovil Town 2-2 Southend United

[Ipswhrimp]

Well, that's just happy talk, that is.

It's Sensible, if you ask me.

playoffs are a dream ,some people need to wake up,draw against Tamworth with a late equalizer , Draw against Rochdale with a late equalizer , draw against Yeovil with a late equalizer, and some of you think this is playoff form, thats 7 points you dropped when it comes to catching up or making it very hard for teams like Rochdale who have 4 games in hand over us and Estleigh and Halifax, Think about how that extra 7 points would have meant tous and how hard it would have made it for Rochdale , There is no way we will make the playoffs. stop dreaming .

FYI we equalised against Tamworth in the 53rd minute. Not sure that counts as “late”.

Missed Ralph yesterday, KAF gee-ed up the team driving forwards, lots of frustration amongst the fans with us missing (not being able to execute) a hatful of chances.
Happy (relieved) in the end for the 95th minute equaliser.................but absolutely needed 3 points yesterday

Young Kendal has come in for some critcism for getting the ball stuck under his feet and losing it, he certainly put that one to bed in the 1st minute. Took a touch, slotted it, excellent finish.
I like to think our strikers that get so little praise in here, continue to come up with the goods almost unnoticed. No one has mentioned Charley's effort, how he's broke free from his marker and had the composure to slot that home.
I'm not pretending they dont score enough, but like Bonne at Dagenham, plant the ball at them and they are coming up with the finish more often i feel.
I feel us supporters can play our part by er, supporting, instead of the continuous knocking. Self belief only gets them so far.

A neutral/Yeovil perspective:

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Four stars? Knock me down with a feather.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Team of the day .....

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Don't look at who got star man though!

 

[stewart]

Seven points dropped from three draws? Thanks Diane Abbott.

when it comes to Rochdale yes its 7 points in reality, if we had have defeated them at home the thats one point you can take off their total and 2 more to dd on to our total that off the 3 draws was the most important to win,

What an awful report. It was Bridge, not Hopper for the first, Kendall didn’t turn and shoot, Wilson’s shot wasn’t drilled and Golding shot from outside the box, and didn’t burst into the area. To top it off Nouble as star man? WTF!

 

[in the know]

Hate to say it, but I thought nouble had a very good game for them.

He should be the first member ejected for showing disrespect, maybe that should be a rule? Why did join SUEPA anyway if he hates us so much!

Probably for the blazer and tie.

Agree with all this except..... Nouble did have a good game and cleared a goalbound shot off their line. Still a frightful cad though.

Yeah, he’s a handful at this level.

Yeah, he’s a handful at this level.

He's quite a few handfuls

YEOVIL Town boss Mark Cooper was 'devastated' the Glovers could not hang on to their lead against Southend United on Saturday.

Remember Mark playing 4/5 games for Southend in1990 while on loan from Exeter . Came to Southend when Dave Webb bought Ian Benjiman and Andy Ansah about the same time .

 

[Evening Echo]

FOR much of the afternoon, Southend United’s clash at Yeovil Town was indicative of much of the Shrimpers’ season so far.

to all the travelling fans today, safe journey home. From what I am reading it sounds like another tactical masterclass on how not to make substitutions at the right time and if Bonne had been on earlier...... Well just maybe?

Kev's tactics continue to baffle me, we seem to approach every game playing for a draw rather than going for their throats and how many times has that backfired this season? The supporters can see what's needed during a match and post it clearly on SZ why can't the Manager?

And this is why we need a change of manager.

 

[Amwell Blue]

Alternatively they could have screwed up and we lost. Who knows
