Well! First the positive we were in the game for the first 15 mins ala Rochdale away in the league, that’s it all negative from there on in.
Thank god Whitehall was dropped, dropped ffs he’d have got slated for doing f all up front.
Overjoyed to get to half time only 1-0 down, and fully expected Butler to give them the hairdryer treatment all to no avail if he did it didn’t work and they played even worse struggled to get out our own half.
Not seen a team so disjointed for a long time, at times we were Southends best attack option buggering about at the back twice Jones nearly got caught out been to slow to clear a back pass to him at times was like a Roberts half chance on goal, Southend fans loving him first half in front of them every time a back pass came to him giving it a big woah even had Scunny fans joining in.
No way did we lose because of Jones but bloody hell he just ain’t good enough dropped 2balls that should have easily caught, in added time he still managed to kick the ball out twice, now how many times did he kick the ball out of play altogether yet still arguably man of the match for a couple of saves he did make.
Now yesterday yes was just one performance, and Witham Southends PD equivalent on yesterdays performance is so wide of the mark, but it just wasn’t good enough and Ironawe can turn from preseason doesn’t matter a jot to it’s only 2 games, but preseasons do matter it’s to not only get distance in legs (Butler speak) but formulating how you play and system and after certainly yesterday know one is any the wiser twould imagine Butler’s the same.
For Butler luckily he as the NL cup to play is best team again and get things sorted well that’s if he can. Certainly no time to rest players.
Rail service was very poor yesterday but not as poor as Scunthorpes performance.
