High scoring game, 4-4.

 

Freddie Eastwood and Phil Brown both get a brace for them.

 

Phil Brown and Clint Eastwood get a brace for us.

 

Slightly more in attendance than v Everton Stiffs.

We'll play worse and win this season. On fact we already have. They came for any sort of result and they got one that Ms to us being caught cold.

 

New lads did well. Keshi looks lively and more of a rounded player than Woolery. Madine had a good first half but seems to fade badly. Henry showed some good touches - likewise Ameobi when he came on. Very quick feet.

 

Still 2 points dropped in my opinion but still undefeated and I would have snatched your hand off for this at the beginning of the season.

Spearing is the best player in this division by a country mile.

Some fuckers are in for a massive pasting.

 

They played like it was a 3rd round Fa cup match. Not one proper contribution to the football match bar the scabby goal whatsoever. But that's football.

 

We are going to be just fine.

Exactly what Ive said all day. Mate who's not been for ages came today and is livid saying our goal only came from a mistake

 

Im not arsed. We're a sure thing. I just know it.

heard them say there were 650 southend fans ? if thats true thats not a bad following

Would say 500 tops but that's a fantastic effort.

More than Fleetwood brought. 640 by the time the orange warriors had finished.

And to be fair there were some flying limbs when they scored

Once again it was two halves. We were the better team in the first half and how we didn’t win it in the second is beyond me.

Previously we have won ugly – we’ve scrapped out results. Today we played much better with constant pressure and drew!

The three players who came in were cut above this level. Imagine how good they are going to be when Henry, Ameobi and Anderson gel. If the loan can be extended past Januar for Henry and Ameobi we will be champions of this league.

Vela concerns me. He looks out of place, hesitant and not to the standard.

Moxey and the defence did the usual for their goal. Moxey stepped up to play offside and the rest stepped back. Poor communication.
As has been said earlier, on another day it would have been 5 or 6.

It's great to see us outfight and bully teams. Wasn't our day today but the effort is great. Vela looks like a player being played out of postion no matter where he plays. Madine should be made to watch a video of proctor today. Proctor is everything madine should be and unfortunately isn't. Moxey is a bit of a weak link but otherwise it's great, new signings looked good. More of that we'll go up.

Proctor and ameobi to start against mk

Think madine has lost his place now, they were shit very shit.

Far from it, we were utterly dominant and he played well. We looked to have less of a focal point when he went off too.

Southend fans were stood outside in the pissing rain until 2 when they opened the turnstiles. Do they always leave it so late? Seemed a bit shitty on a day like today. Especially when they're not allowed in the hotel.

to who?

 

certainly not proctor - better footballer, but cant head for toffee.

 

i cant see pp going with anderson and ameobi together.

A hell of a lottery of positives today. Spearing was superb and I thought the lads from palace and wolves were equally as good. Vela was a bit under par today with a poor final ball and decision making. I will give madness me a bit of credit, he did quite well, but

Looking at proctor when he came on, he looks a right hand full. Good cameo from sammy. Apart from a bad first few minutes, we dominated for long spells and should have won by a few.

 

Great following from them, considering their home crowds and train issues.

 

Overall, still unbeaten and I think we have more to come.

my biggest concern is buxton. thats the second goal i can recall where he was nowhere to be seen at the back post.

 

spearing was/is just immense

Madine played pretty well imo.

 

Should've scored in the first half though.

Madine has nothing but impressed me so far this season.

 

Bulked up and seems to give a shit.

Yup agree with you. He was phenomenal at Bristol and is like a new signing so far into this season.

been madines biggest fan so far (ask jules) but proctor offered more, him and ameobi would like to see

Funny, I thought we looked better with Madine up front than without. I like Proctor but he's trying to hard for me.

Madine played like he knew there's competition for places and had to step up. Looked good today till he tweaked groin late in first half, held ball up well and got about the pitch better. Having said that, Proctor also looked a handful of a different sort, quicker, more mobile and technically pretty good.

 

Ameobi showed some nifty touches but Anderson was less involved when he had to move back to accommodate him. Anderson needs to stay right on their centre backs, when he was there they were shitting themselves. Him in and Woolery out looks good business, Anderson's a far more talented player and can play with back to goal
