Official Match Thread York City v Southend United

[mark387]

Finally Fonguck getting a shot off and troubling the keeper

 

[Gustafferson]

shooting from edge of the box 5 times has more chance of providing a goal than running it out to the corner 20 times and hitting the ball against the first man

Easier said than done with 9 men camped out on the edge of the box

 

[Holy Joe]

Good shot from distance from Wes - good save

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

What a surprise, Southend corner...headed away

 

[glenmaster]

Have we scored from a corner this season?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

HT 1-0

Barely scored from a corner for about 5 seasons

We look like such smooth, slick footballing side. I think we sometimes forget we are a non-league side. We pass it and keep the ball so much better than some of the sides we had in the EFL.

Unfortunately, the embargo (Rat) has prohibited us from signing both a threatening midfielder and a striker. I've said it countless times that we are a couple of signings away in our starting 11 to be a top of the league side. Just to have any side in a few weeks is all I want.

Keep going lads, they will tire and get nervous.

Plenty of possession but most of it is backwards and sideways

I have mentioned my annoyance at not beating the first man on corners. There's not much worse, and it happens a lot. But I've been told they practice corners and wide free kicks a lot, and are instructed to beat the first man.

After an initial flourish of goals in matches it seems we're reverting to the team of last season* with few shots and consequently few goals.

*It's not too surprising since this pretty much is the same team as last season.

Been absolutely all over them. They’ve had one shot and scored . We’ve had possession but apart from fonguck strike , barely troubled them . It’s so frustrating

Agreed, we never seem to break quickly, we allow the opposition all the time in the world to get sorted and back behind the ball before we go forward.

 

[RHB]

We have another half to pull this back. I reckon we will come away with at least a point, or maybe three.

Literally nothing to say on games we win but jump in as soon as we are losing

I think to come away with 2 draws from 2 away games with 14 fit players and bottom of the league is pretty decent.

I think we have to change our mindset of being a playoff, promotion chasing side and be content with every point we can get. That's obviously until our circumstances change

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Come on you Shrimpers

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

We have another half to pull this back. I reckon we will come away with at least a point, or maybe three.

I agree. The best side is losing. Still more than enough time to get something deservedly from this game.

Plenty to say win or lose...unlike you i would like to attack probably the worst team i have seen this year
