Sorry but that was pathetic today from the Manager to the team, to all the coaches who look a total waste of money and to the owners who aren't helping. I am not willing to waste my time reporting on that rubbish today. Apologies to those who like to read it especially those who weren't there- You were lucky! if this is the best that DC can produce from the team then he will be gone before Christmas,.
Smith 5
Leadbitter 2
Craig 5
J Clarke 6.5 MOM
Broadbent 4
Sercombe 5 Based on 18 minutes
Bennett 4
O Clarke 4
Upson 6
Payne 5
Nicholls 5
Rodman 4
Reilly 5
Jakubiah 5
Ref 2 Sure he booked their goalie twice and I believe he was the one who disallowed a goal at Blackburn last season just as they were in the process of kicking off. He was as pathetic as both teams.
Southend 4
Crowd 3

Probably the worst home performance under DC Not much more to be said , picking out the things that were wrong would require a post 3 pages long. |

Totally share your views Steve.
If things continue will be surprised if DC is here in October.
Simply not good enough.

That was one of the most embarrassing home performances I have seen under DC reign, I at least expected us to come out second half & give it a go kicking towards the Thatchers end. Apart from their keeper saving a decent Ollie Clarke shot , I can’t remember him being tested & the worrying thing is I didn’t think Southend were anything special.

That's a shame Steve. I may not always agree with everything but I do enjoy reading your reports.
I was particularly looking forward to understanding how Ed Upson was our second best player today!

Just FWIW, everyone thought he booked the keeper for time-wasting when he actually booked their LB for being a little w****r. It wasn't entirely clear from within the ground, hence the confusion, but unfortunately he didn't accidentally book their keeper twice. How he booked Payne for going in for a 50/50 I'll never know, though... |

I believe you’ve made more effort in your report than some of the players made today Steve. Was dreadful from start to finish.

Why is it whenever a team loses (not just Rovers), people say the players didn't put in the effort? How can you tell that? I agree we were very poor today, but at no stage did I feel the players weren't trying. |

Ed Upson was fantastic in preseason but since, at home at least, he has been dire and causes more pressure on the back line than he relieves. I would be dropping him for a few games personally |

If Stevek is that despondent to not wishing to report on the match, one can only dream of an 8000 plus crowd for the next home game.

A number of our players not playing today certainly put a lot of effort into laughing and joking with each other at the back of the West stand during the second half today. |

I would be dropping him for a few games personally Agree completely. I do think he will be a decent signing but today was awful. Annoying seeing him take a pass from the centre half as we look to build, only to give it straight back and the centre half lump it. We desperately need a midfielder to take the ball and start attacks, like Lines can. Suspect that may have been the "not taking responsibility" DC referred to afterwards. |

Surely we're not blaming the players who didn't play??!!! For what it's worth though, Lockyer, Partington and Sinclair were at the front of the tunnel heading and kicking every ball (as the latter two have been each week). |

Just wondering why no Gasheads seemed to be laughing and joking as they watched that dross. |
