What a cross from Baptiste who has alongside Santos been our best player on the park. Gooooooooallll.
Agree entirely. Providers of by far and away the best two balls of the half too.

From all accounts we've been shite, I go and make a brew, and now it's pandemonium :grin:
Shite is more than harsh. We certainly weren't great but looked a threat but couldn't get the goal. Not unusually they changed to try to stop us, had a good spell and it took a while for us to figure it out. They're obviously bad (their left back hilariously so) but you can't expect to walk every game.

Have to stay positive, keep the tempo up and hopefully we can get the second and third early.

That goal shouldn't change the HT team talk much.
Up to 9th in the table, another 13 goals this half and we are 8th.

They'll have to now chase the game which should provide more openings, hence opportunities for us.

We’ve just looked a bit laboured but I think it’s more Southend pressing us in the right areas. I agree with Gary that delaneys not been positive enough with the ball so they have let him have it. Tutte going off was a big one because he’s perfect for that Deep playmaker role - I Think whites played well enough but it’s just not his game bringing it out from the back.

Get Sarcevic and Crawford on the ball in the final third and I think we will score again once they start to move men forward.

Got the edge, keep it and don't relax. One goal might not be enough against a desperate team. Nail it up early and we're rolling. Come on you Whites.. :oyea: :oyea:

Crawford needs to be more involved. Not doing enough for me considering we lost Tutte. Trouble is I think we’ve got three midfield players on the pitch who all want to play in the attacking midfield role.

BWFCI - I agree - but I can also appreciate why Evatt didn’t Bring Comley on. Maybe if we were one up when Tutte got injured it might have been a different change. Hope Tuttes not out for a long time.

Delaney against their tiny winger in the air is making me laugh. He keeps trying, bless him.

Been a lot of talk this week about a goal scored in 1986 by a 5ft5in lad outjumping a goalkeeper...

That was a lovely move out from the back by them.

Midfield three are so poor today. So many chances to break on them especially Crawford yet he’s trying and failing to play little 5 yard passes in our own half.

This. Far too passive. Midfield balance all wrong.
