Everyone is entitled to an opinion but a theme running through a lot of the posts on the Shrimpers forum is how we forced Southend to change their normal game by pressing them in midfield and forcing them to go long ball. Well we have a team in Southend with a more experienced manager and a squad of players assembled on a bigger budget than the Iron, so I guess their assessment of the game is down to their own inability to change things around to suit them which in theory they should be able to do with said bigger budget squad and as for their more experienced manager, he’s been booked in both games against us at the AA this season, guess refs just don’t like him, lol.
