Re: Southend late match Thread

Solid performance today and a bit unlucky really.You know how Southend play and are in the middle of a decent run.
Apart from free kicks and corners,were they get the big men forward,I thought we coped well.
Bit of pace up top and we are more of a threat,thought Murphy showed promise in the middle and was impressed with Wilson,who is starting to show his class.
We played there two pacy forwards well, (one has played in the prem league this season),and generally the back four looked well organised.
That's why I was surprised when one up ,we took lids off and went three at the back , very positive,but was it necessary?,as they left two up top and started attacking the wider areas .
Couldn't believe there goal,as a midfielder is allowed to receive,control and get a striker off,when on paper,we have two extra mid-fielders.
You have to be touch tight in those areas,and we weren't.
Loads of positives to take from the performance,and our luck is slowly changing
