Fair play to southend really, their fans probably thought they had a good chance of winning this one and they sound like theyve been pretty solid

For us I think its more about the players off the pitch than on the pitch for us, we know roughly what the starting line up had to offer, but we need JDM, scannell, taylor, rhaiky and others to be able to add something to make us playoff contenders

Usual inflated number of comments when we aren’t winning …think some folk believe we should win every game , never concede , never make a mistake … manager and players always get it right …. jeez


We weren't even drawing, an ex professional footballer couldn't understand why he didn't change it earlier, especially as we hardly created a decent chance in the second half.

Fine margins.....always the case when you don't score enough.  Rarely threatened this evening and the subs when eventually made sounded like they had the reverse effect. Did Mani touch it more than once ?

Close on result but didn't sound like we were that close in reality.

Always a tough game tonight. Other results have gone out way; we’re never catching Wrexham.

A win on Saturday is paramount though. Yeovil are bang out of form.

Time for a reality check.
Simply nowhere near good enough.
No plan B.
Poor use of substitutes.
Will do well to finish in the top half.
Finishing below teams that we would not think twice about a couple of years ago.
Big changes are needed if they want to go back to the Football league.
Support is starting to dwindle and will continue to do so if we carry on plodding along like we are now.

Despite tonight the table still looks ok. All to play for but it is very frustrating that we cannot raise our game when needed.

Why is Scannell and JMD on the bench - surely them two on both wings for the last half hour would provide a threat?

Our form against the top sides is pretty rancid, constantly playing ‘not to lose’ in these games and so often coming out on the wrong end of a 1 goal margin

Every game is tough if you make it so. We’ve dropped so many points when we’ve been level at half time and by the odd goal in most cases. We look soft.

The surprise for me isn't that we're failing to score the goals in these sorts of games so much as that we're conceding so many soft ones at the other end. I've not been to an away game this season yet but it sounds as though we're generally putting the effort in.

A combination of a slight lack of attacking threat alongside a bit of mental weakness in defence, I suppose. No doubt that Hurst has always been reticent to change things too early on which probably indicates a lack of faith in the players' ability to enact any sort of a plan B as much as anything else.

I can live with losing away, I’m eternally p1ssed off that we wait too long to make changes especially with a bench that contains 1 defender.

Still in touch but need a win on Saturday though.

7th at best this season, suspect we’ll end up in 8th 🤦‍♂️
