We were horrendous today, but the players aren't suddenly bad players. Ifil isn't suddenly a bad centre back, Cox isn't a bad centre forward, they just either won't play for MM or are so confused with the system that they don't know if they're coming or going. A mixture of the two I suspect.
Commingues and Macnamee, as already said, were postive going forward, but if we had a right footed macnamme aswell we'd ship even more goals. The guy is a great talent but leaves his full back facing a 2 on 1 too often for my liking, and has to start tracking his runners.
We are so lopsided though. How can a team play without a right midfielder. Easton is not encouraged to play wide, but to tuck in, leaving no outlet down the right and really predictable football.
The biggest worry for me at the moment is the two centre halves. Hasney was appaling today, and Ifil's distribution was as bad as it ever has been. They both gave away countless stupid freekicks, and in comparison to the Southend defenders, just constantly gave the ball away.
I've kind of preached for patience previusoly and I would like to have given MM a summer, but now fear it would be a waste of time and money. You won't find many people in that ground today sticking up for him now, and some of the old guys who go to every game, home and away, and actually considering not travelling to watch it, who can blame them? We need to get in a proven manager, allow him to bring in his own assisstant and coach(es), send Byrne back to the youths and bin off Malpas and Williams.
Rant Over.....

How many central defenders do you know with the ball control of ronaldo?
Ifil's control is nothing really shocking, he's just low on confidence. People booing every mistake he makes isn't going to help him Well Southend's centre backs actually controlled the ball today, like most of the teams we've faced this season, I'm not saying Ronaldo-like, but just with the ability to pass the ball 10 yards, and not overhit the ball every time. Problem is their midfield gave them passing options, ours went missing... Yeahhh, but Ifil has had this problem throughout his career, its not a new thing. |

He did get better at one point, but i think that was down to Blackley when he was here, and playing with Ady. Now he is with Aljofree i think he is now trying to model his game on him now, hence the shitness. |

Ifil distrubution today was pitiful. I counted 5 or 6 misplaced passes. Which were very simple. Think tans could of made though passes

Anyway. MOM - McNamee. Smith and Minge also did OK too.
Smith was the worst player on the pitch today IMO, and I usually rate him! If anyones interested :- http://www.soccerbase.com/managers2.sd?managerid=2036 |

When your in lge 2 you get league 2 players.....ware we were last year,not many of the new lads are up to scratch ime afraid its as simple as that....ime not knocking Fitton and co as the club are moving forward but untill we get a major injection of new players we are going nowhere...its time for a fresh start next year.....today was shocking but booing players while the match is on is bad in my opinion,Ifill was superb at the start of the season and the people booing him have short memories.

I'd like you to back thay statement up.How many times did the guy smith was marking get past him.How often did Smith give the ball away/Answer to both questions is very few.Smith is the one defender who can pass a football and who tries to play the way out of defence.I cant agree with your assessment,sorry.McNamee is a class act and overall you cant blame the manager for missing three ABSOLUTE SITTERS.Southend,a top 6 side,did not create a single clear-cut chance.Yes I agree Malpas made a big mistake with his team selection and formation(Corr instead of Paynter ffs?) but he did at least change it at half-time and the fact is we should have won the game-I dont agree with all this "Southend deserved to win"stuff.How can you deserve victory when you dont create any clear cut chances-their goal was a complete fluke.The one thing that does annoy me is the feeling that if it was us who were 1-0 nil up and Southend had those three chances at the end we would have lost.Mac mom,Smith close,Easton half-decent,Aljofree and Ifil horrendous,McGovern-total waste of space.I wonder if Paynter will ever miss two better chances-the sort you cry out for at that stage of the game and Peacock's,unbelievable. |

I still don't really see what Sturrock did wrong to get dropped, the lad's run his heart out in the last 3 matches, scored too, and looked to link up well with Cox.
Corr comes back for 40 minutes, does nothing more than Blair's been doing, then Paynter comes on and in all fairness if I were BS tonight, I'd be pretty fucked off at not being in the first team.

I thought Easton was poor.
Those 3 chances at the end were probably the only ones we had all game.
75 minutes untill we start playing isn't good enough.
