After all the complaining about Saturday’s game being so close to tonight’s, I bet it can’t come soon enough now!

3-1 win and flying.

Recognised that we looked better with Fonz in midweek and brought him in. Good management 

Which Fonz is going to turn up though? Far too left sided for the middle of the three role though, interchangeable with Mads though. Good attacking line up with strong options from the bench, what's not to like q👍

I don’t think he did badly but Fonz is better. Dapos legs went,  but glad he’s starting 

Good to see Dapo will probably start on the wing. He looked less effective in the middle.

Fonz,Dapo and Maddison only have to do 60 mins.....Triple substitution last 30 of Sarcevic, Arther and Miller to see the game out or get the winner

The bench does look odd, OK we're used to having no sub keeper now, but it seems to have spread to know central defensive cover too.  Hope Santos, Baptiste or Gilks don't get injured early on

Amazing how players don’t get tired when winning games and a fully fit squad available.

So it wasn’t a fluke goal, and then an own goal ?

And Southend isnt like Benidorm in February ?

Which bit is wrong ?

You made yourself look a right clown when you were posting shite at 2 nil down.

Competition for his place now, especially with Sarc back into the fold, needs to nail his name to the team sheet 

1-4 Phil Hook (3), Youngman = 3pts

Happy weekend

Williams is centre back cover

Happy with today's starting 11, feeling confident today, we'd better win as I've got us in a win treble.

Also, hasn't Joel Lynch returned back to training with us? Wouldn't be surprised if he signs a deal to the end of the season at least.

I know he'd play there, but he's not a centre back. 

Just surprised we've got Delaney down there and he's not on the bench.  If IE wants Williams in midfield because he's the best available, one injury to any of the 3 right footed defenders weakens 2 positions rather than one.

Well anyone who wanted attacking football can not complain about that selection. 
 

I still think bodies in midfield is a challenge and injuries in wrong positions won't be good ! 
 

Clearly going for 3 points. 

Looking at the pitch, it looks like a bowling green compared to Mansfield's cabbage patch

Any speculation as to what the delayed start is about?

Waiting for all the IPTV lads to get the right panel...

Can't call this. No idea what Bolton turns up, but if we play well, win and build on Tuesday; I'll believe we can do something still this season.

Sleeves of underarmour

From EFL player’s equipment rules.  Note that it speaks of matching the sleeve, not the shirt.

What pisses me off is why the ref waited until  ko time to say something.
 

Undershirts must be:

• a single colour which is the same colour as the main colour of the shirt sleeve; or
• a pattern/colours which exactly replicate(s) the shirt sleeve

 

Doyle has to score that

How’s he put that over?

How on earth has Doyle missed that?!

Could be two up here!
