Official Match Thread York City vs Southend United

[gatecrasher]

Predictable after seeing the line up with defensive fc midfield and Bridge starting - pure crab ball

 

[Roger The Alien]

Maher have to go, there is plenty of good managers out there can do better job than he is doing now.

I rather see us lose 5-3, with us having a right go at them, than limping to a 3-0 defeat.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Thanks kev but time to go.

 

[Yer Blues]

i'll put it down as a 0-0 then

We'd be lucky to get nil.

COSU have some tough decisions to make

 

[Danshrimper]

Oh come off it.

They're better than we are. They have been able to bring in quality completely unhindered, and they're confident.

Nobody likes losing, but they are one of the top teams at this level and we, currently, are not.

We have been well in the game, until defensive meltdowns at 3 corners.

It’s not necessarily just losing, I don’t think we’ve played well at all. You say we’ve been well in the game, but their keeper hasn’t had to do anything.

They are a decent National League side, who have recruited well from this league and the league below. They aren’t Wrexham, who threw ridiculous money at League 1 and 2 standard players. So I don’t agree with this notion that we should be happy to accept a 3-0 defeat because York are some untouchable force, they aren’t. They drew to Tamworth last week.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Will always be grateful to Maher for his service and loyalty to SUFC at our lowest ebb but he was an average player then and he’s a very poor manager now. He’s no longer the right person to lead us forward. Forget giving him another transfer window or two, we could pay out loads and bring in the best players, build the best squad in the league and still not be confident of promotion because he can’t get the most out of players with potential and doesn’t set up the team right or adapt with in game management when needs to

Out of interest, how would you set up the current side?

Bridge lays it on a plate for Kendall, who misses

No they don’t, they won’t be getting rid of Maher it’s as simple as that.

Well one in particular.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Can't wait for the Vlog on this one!

He’s there, fair play to him.

 

[glenmaster]

Live shot of Justin.

 

[Shrimper]

No they don’t, they won’t be getting rid of Maher it’s as simple as that.

Then they're just as much to blame if this goes wrong then

I'll put my house on them not sacking him, even if we lose the next five or six in a row.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I’m really struggling to see what we’re working on week to week. You can only blame losing Cardwell so far (I’ve done it and I’ve reached the end of the line) our defending is absolutely embarrassing. You can’t keep doing the same things, making the same mistakes and expecting a different result. We are defensively pathetic. Clock is ticking

...at least he was in the right position to miss! It's a start!

Define goes wrong?

Three top coaches (allegedly) and I see nothing but regression each week...

John Lewis on - number 4 coming up

They went balls deep with a 3 year, so we’ve got no chance.
