Official Match Thread York City vs Southend United

[AlfaShrimper]

Desperate for a central center back to grab this game by the scruff of the neck

 

[SS9_Shrimper]

Our headers this season seem to be just aimless. No thought goes it to them. They just put a head on it and hope.

 

[TJC]

Pains me to say it but we look clueless

 

[amsemp]

I don’t remember seeing or reading about one that wasn’t for dissent. I get he’s passionate but surely after a couple of times he’d get the idea. Throw your arms around, kick off at the ref etc you’ll get booked. It’s hardly rocket science.

Doesn’t help when you have a manager that does the same, lead by example and all that jazz.

Very fair point. I was thinking how mad it must drive Kev but he can’t exactly tear Gus a new one for it when he’s just as bad.

If it stays as this it'll be 7 of our last 10 that we've failed to score in the league

To be fair a 0-0 in this fixture would be a decent result.

 

[Holy Joe]

Pearce booked for attempting to punch ball into net

 

[Ricey]

Well at least we aren’t losing.

 

[Jack_23]

il take that any day of the week. Would love us to cause more problems attacking wise but I’d of took a draw before the game. So far so good

 

[in the know]

Missed the first 20mins but from the 28mins I got to watch, I felt it was the most ineffective I've seen walker. Unable to win balls or hold up passes. Would like bonne on for the whole second half but doubt that would be likely. No doubt we wait for them to make a sub or score.
I also wish our first touch was !oads better. Seem to put ourselves under so much pressure with the lack of first touch.

BBC Essex hot mics. Hopefully have some interesting snippets :)

Think they’ve forgotten they’re live on the radio

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Considering where York are in the table and the money they've spent, I'm quite happy how it's going. Our players are at least battling their nuts off, although we're sadly lacking that quality through ball to the forwards. Bridgey might as well not be playing, and Bonne or Kendall must be better out there, even though it's not their natural position. Please change it Kev.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

So far, so good! Heart in the mouth time with every York attack.......and they really should have taken one of their opportunities. I would be delighted with a point.

 

[Blue Yonder]

It does seem a bit odd that Bonne played every week when he was hopeless and then just as he seemed to be edging towards a bit of form and fitness he's dropped. If it was for Kendall you can find an argument for it. For Walker ? baffling.

 

[Barling Magna]

I'm sitting amongst the York fans. They are shocked at how poorly their side is playing and they are complimenting us for cancelling them out. And they're right. Apart from a couple of early lapses we've defended well and not looked in trouble. Ralph has been excellent. Of course we haven't created any chances ourselves but that clearly isn't our aim.

Naturally York will now score a hatful in the second half...

 

[sufcrocks]

Their half time entertainment sounds good!

 

[Holy Joe]

Most defensive Bridge and Gus have been all season.

 

[Cricko]

Would be great to take a point from this but you can see the gulf in quality between our players and theirs

 

[Guybrush13]

We aren't fighting for any balls, always second to it. No pressure at all. This is turgid again.
