Re: Southend Thread
 

Strange on to me that??? We have a right back on the bench, who was an ever present until he got his red?????

Re: Southend Thread
 

Can you confirm Dan, is that 100 for Bavs???? :) :)

Re: Southend Thread
 

It is Val...

Re: Southend Thread
 

Cant understand Murphy on instead of Bateson. A strange one as didnt Murphy have a shocker in midfield recently and Bateson I would have thought would have been the better choice. Lets hope it doesnt haunt us at the end. Thought Bateson was playing well before his ban.

Re: Southend Thread
 

It's a game of opinions, but I thought Peter Murphy was very harshly judged at Chesterfield. I think in the two starts he's made (Tranmere and there) he looked okay. Certainly not terrible.
And isn't this why Coley has a 20+ squad?
I'm a fan of Bateson and he's great going forward, but maybe with this away run it's time to look at someone a little more defence minded as an option?

Re: Southend Thread
 

Cheers Dan, back to Bateson, no issues with Murph as a player, but I do not have him as a RB, that is all!!!!!!

Re: Southend Thread
 

Anyway, back to today, please keep the info coming through Dan. Are you alone, or have you got some able assistants?????

Re: Southend Thread
 

Fair enough Val. I'm not saying Peter is a better full back than Jonny, but that he perhaps deserves a chance...

Teams are out.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Val, I'm flying solo...

So will try and keep you up to speed here at the same time as doing match reports, Twitter etc. etc. etc.

Re: Southend Thread
 

We're under way at Roots Hall...

Re: Southend Thread
 

Cheers Dan, I know you will do your best.....

Re: Southend Thread
 

Most of the times I've seen Murphy play (before his switch to midfield last season) he's played at full-back and been very promising. I thought he'd be first choice right-back both last season and this before the arrivals of Lees and Bateson, respectively. One thing's for certain, I'd much rather have Murph at right-back than Winnard :D

Find it rather inexplicable why McConville starts ahead of Barnett however. Ah well.

Come on Accy.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Murphys got his chance lets hope he takes it now. How many travelling stanley fans do we have?

Re: Southend Thread
 

Not many travelling fans, but making a racket away to our right. Maybe 50 or so?

Re: Southend Thread
 

Eight minutes gone - the teams are eyeing each other up but little to report

Re: Southend Thread
 

Chstrfld 0 : 1 Burton

Morce 1 : 0 Lincoln

Re: Southend Thread
 

Anyone got a pm - ignore not worked :o

Re: Southend Thread
 

I always do........:D. Not; thanks away.

Hi Dan, keep up the good work cock, miss the sound of your voice, and Danni's......ok and Ben's. :)

Re: Southend Thread
 

"Find it rather inexplicable why McConville starts ahead of Barnett however. Ah well."

All "relative" shaker me thinks:(

Re: Southend Thread
 

A very quiet start... 22 on the watch

Re: Southend Thread
 

Bury 0 : 1 Stockport

Stanley 19th

Re: Southend Thread
 

That is most cringeworthy..... ;) :)

Re: Southend Thread
 

25: GOALLLL
Ryan free kick from outside the area right hand side, curled into the right corner.
0-1 Ole!

Re: Southend Thread
 

Gotta have somat to smile about Val

Re: Southend Thread
 

get in there jimmy!!!! :D

Re: Southend Thread
 

Cmon Jimmy

Re: Southend Thread
 

Nice one Jimmy Ryan.....give us another.......please. :D

Re: Southend Thread
 

Read the post above yours!!!!!!!!!

.......scores at will, Jimmy Ryan plays for Stanley..................

Re: Southend Thread
 

Wow ! What a free kick

Re: Southend Thread
 

Yes excellent :D:D:D

Re: Southend Thread
 

Good going Well done Stanley !

16th

Re: Southend Thread
 

Oh yesss!!

Re: Southend Thread
 

I think Coley picks him just to cock a snook at all we moaners about him on here. It can't be for pure footballing reasons.:(

Re: Southend Thread
 

Jimmy Ryan scores at will

Re: Southend Thread
 

Another step nearer the door.....

Re: Southend Thread
 

Sad but true

Re: Southend Thread
 

Macc 1 : 0 Aldershot

Stanley 15th

Re: Southend Thread
 

Currently 15th, steadily climbing. A lincoln equaliser at Morecambe could see us 14th if we can pick up the 3 points. Even 13th if chesterfield come from behind to beat Burton:)

Re: Southend Thread
 

Five minutes til the break.
Really dour first half, but the Reds have the all important goal

Re: Southend Thread
 

Cheer's Dan.....

Re: Southend Thread
 

First corner! Starting to play better.

Re: Southend Thread
 

we need four before I'll feel anywhere like safe

Re: Southend Thread
 

1-0 at half time. Happy with that

Re: Southend Thread
 

That's half time. Boos all round Roots Hall.

Professional from Stanley. Great goal from Ryan

Re: Southend Thread
 

Never mind the trivialities, did you get on the car park ? :D

Re: Southend Thread
 

So far so good.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Chstrfld 1 : 1 Burton

Re: Southend Thread
 

There are dancing girls at half time.
This is hilarious!!!

Re: Southend Thread
 

No. Not good at impersonations and I needed the walk. Easier for a quick get away after the match too!

Re: Southend Thread
 

Are they "American" style cheerleaders or "South sea" Hula types ?

Re: Southend Thread
 

Dave, they danced a bit in the centre circle and then just stood at the entrance to the tunnel holding Southend flags. In tracksuit bottoms and crop tops looking bloody FREEZING.

Surreal!

Re: Southend Thread
 

We're back underway.

72 away fans

Re: Southend Thread
 

Can definitely think of better ways to spend the half time break & prancing round half dressed doesn't even come into the top 100 ! :D daft boogers !

Re: Southend Thread
 

Re: Southend Thread
 

52: Southend's Anthony Grant shoots wide...

On the evidence so far, this could be the shortest match report ever!

Re: Southend Thread
 

55: Antonio German heads wide from Josh Simpson's cross

AT THE OTHER END
56: Procter sees a shot pushed behind for a corner

Re: Southend Thread

Wel done to all that have travelled down....

Re: Southend Thread
 

Morcambe 1 : 1 Lincoln

Chesterfield down to 10 men Niven off

Re: Southend Thread
 

Charlie Barnett is imminent

Re: Southend Thread
 

Poor lad. Is it treatable?

Re: Southend Thread
 

Sub Barnett for joyce

Re: Southend Thread
 

Joyce off, Barnett on

Re: Southend Thread
 

More of an attack minded player!!!

Re: Southend Thread
 

1-1

Re: Southend Thread
 

65: GOAL for southend.
Free kick from the left hand side headed in by defender Bilel Mohsni
1-1

Re: Southend Thread
 

Morecambe 1 : 2 Lincoln

Stanley now 17th

Re: Southend Thread
 

Well, Barnett has certainly had an impact.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: Southend Thread
 

Bloody hell, suddenly just 2 points out of the drop zone. Incredible howoptimism can evaporate to pessimism so quickly.

Re: Southend Thread
 

71: Dunbavin makes a great save to deny Antonio German

Re: Southend Thread
 

We Are stuggling now. Great save dunbavin

Re: Southend Thread
 

62 mins Charlie comes on
63 mins hes in the book- maybe a bit too keen

Re: Southend Thread
 

We have picked up 3 yellows in no time Dan, are we losing it a bit????

Re: Southend Thread
 

77: Murphy sent off for a late tackle on Grant

Re: Southend Thread
 

Straight red?
edit:
Just come up on SSN (violent conduct) so it must be a straight red.

Re: Southend Thread
 

McConville off, Owens on

Re: Southend Thread
 

Murphy off - possible FL fine looming ?

Re: Southend Thread
 

It was a straight red. Other side of the ground from us but didn't look good

Re: Southend Thread
 

Bateson?????

Re: Southend Thread
 

oo dear

Re: Southend Thread
 

It never rains it bloody pours ! :mad:

Re: Southend Thread
 

Bateson seems to have slipped down the pecking order. Why?

Re: Southend Thread
 

Well Murph got his chance and unless Im wrong didnt take it very well:( I do wish I had been wrong lets hope we can hold on for draw.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Chesterfield 1 : 2 Burton
Wycombe 1 : 0 Bradford

Re: Southend Thread
 

They have only had 1 shot on target and 2 off!!!!!!

Re: Southend Thread
 

if you think murphy is a better player than bateson,i suggest a doctors appointment is required.
The oppositions wide men are normally there quickest,therefore pace is a must ( ask hessey !).
Murphy,although a good footballer has no pace,hence they have tried him in midfield.
If Bateson is carrying a knock i would have played joyce there before murphy

Re: Southend Thread
 

FIVE added minutes

Re: Southend Thread
 

5 Yellows and Red??? Were we that bad Dan????

Re: Southend Thread
 

if you think murphy is a better player than bateson,i suggest a doctors appointment is required

Totally agree football19. Another strange decision by Coleman but hes the manager

Re: Southend Thread
 

Southend goal disallowed

Re: Southend Thread
 

All over... 1-1

Re: Southend Thread
 

sorry, i should have said better right back !!!!!

Re: Southend Thread
 

Good point, all things considered. Just so dissapointing the amount of times we have led away from home only to be pegged back. The right back position seems to be a bit of a merry go round at the moment. Who next i wonder?

Re: Southend Thread
 

Coleman will be happy with a point again

Re: Southend Thread
 

Well back to drawing, not ideal but better than losing, at time of going to press !

Stanley 17th

Many thanks Dan. :)

Re: Southend Thread
 

Fixed!

Re: Southend Thread
 

Southend's manager Paul Sturrock is a legend with me and many though not all Sheffield Wednesday fans.

Corr, Zaaboub and Coughlan were with him there. Albeit only Coughlan established himself there.

One of his favourite sayings was "Draws kill ye in in this league". Its as true of League 2 as when he said it of us in the leagues above.

If Stanley don't start picking up wins they will find this out to their cost.

Re: Southend Thread
 

As ever,cheers Dan!!!!!!!
