Southend v Barrow match thread

[Main Stand SeasonTct]

I love this style of shit house direct football

We’ve had years of [SwearFilter] around with the ball and ending up losing games

If we had adopted this style in the football league last season we would still be in the football league. Give me passion hard work and high intensity every day of the week.

Totally agree Bingo

Like others have said its a forum of opinions but its almost like some on here want us to play pretty football (whatever that is) and they arent bothered about the result.

This team can go places. Everyone weve played against hates us and i love it. Interesting to note the stats on yellows/reds against other teams in this division

No not at all. We need a balance and a bit of both imo At the moment it’s heavily weighted towards ugly football to get results.
I’m hopeful and hoping that in time we will get the balance right as we do have a few lads who can play football

Not one person who attended that match yesterday would say it wasn't excellent entertainment. Well worth the trip. I would put it above Notts County away in our promotion season. In short, it was [SwearFilter] brilliant.

A lot of people said that the Paul Cox team was dull
to watch and boring, but that team played to it’s strengths and had goals in them. It looks like this team might too without having that much elusive 20 goal a season striker that everybody wants, which is good to share the goals. That season when Harrison got injured against Lincoln we kind of lost our way. Suspensions will kick in the way we play but barring injuries there’s not really an individual that you could take out and say we’d really miss I don’t think, they seem to be very much a team and there is decent competition. Still think we need another defender a centre back and if Oakley misses a game I’m not sure who else can play there. He by the way has come on leaps and bounds although naive to concede the penalty.
If we’re scoring goals and getting into the box whether it’s one or two or twenty two passes to get there, then there can’t be too many complaints.
