Some on the Shrimpers forum took it badly, apparently we are a bunch of cheating cloggers who are masters at the dark arts of the game, funny I only remember their player getting sent off. Come on guys you got beat by a better team on the night try a little humility for a change.
Bound to be some I suppose. Be interesting to hear from our recent Shrimpers fans on Bru to hear what they thought. Away at Sea Fanzine’s view was fair, measured and respectful, which received a lot of flak from fellow fans. Similar at most clubs I reckon.
You undoubtedly deserved to win as you got your tactics spot on which in turn stopped us playing any form of football on the ground and resorting to the hopeful high ball forward all the time. I don’t think the referee helped either side, and truthfully, he was the worst I have seen by far this season. Both sets of supporters did their teams proud, but in our case our team didn’t deserve it. Substitutions were made far too late to impact the game. As for dark arts, you had a few in your locker, which is why Harry Taylor got himself sent off, having been wound up the whole game. Good luck against Rochdale, I think they will give you a far stiffer test than we offered. To be honest, I’m quite disgusted with our team for bottling the moment.

Probably bit harsh with the pathetic RHB, but still not good.
If we do need to visit you again next season, I’ll see if we can rustle up a few more.
1000+ on a Tuesday night will be an excellent turnout RHB, our board said you’d sell out in an hour.
They know f all about fans and as certainly showed down the years at our club.Why the pathetic 402 fans for the league game? Were there travel issues.
Truthfully, 400 travelling Shrimpers for a Saturday league game is hardly bad, when you consider that for the reverse fixture at Roots Hall you had 275 travellers there. This game has just a bit riding on it, so there will be more fans travelling.

According to our top man your top man wanted 25% of our capacity and boasted they would sell them ALL very quickly. Not going to happen though is it ?? UTWI
We’ve got an allocation 0f 1678 for a game on a Tuesday night with tickets going on sale yesterday. As I said earlier, we will probably bring around 1000, but it’s a big ask for some people on a work day with such short notice. As for our Chairman allegedly asking for 25%, he’s a Colonial, nuff said?

Yesterdays Southend shambles was very disturbing in many ways .. team selection , performance and a lack of any effort lead to.the the obvious outcome.
I hate all the doom.n gloom but i cant see us picking up.enough wins to.keep.is up.and confirmed before Santa has been gone the NLN will.be our home next season.SHAMBOLIC .. cant see a way out of this mess with Daws at the helm n Swan in the big chair… sad to say we look doomed
As one of ours said earlier in the thread, you looked and played exactly like us at this time last season. We binned Tango-man, but more importantly, recruited the right new coaching team, and that was down to our chairman finally keeping his nose out of the football side of things and a big push from Stan Collymore and later on, John Still. It might seem like there is no hope today, but we all know that football is a strange old game and stuff happens followed by improvement. We may well get would up in the high court in November, so we none of us know what is round the corner.
Keep the faith lads, take the piss out of Wrexham and the other big spenders and maybe, just maybe, your players will wake up to the fact that the NL is horribly non forgiving. I really hope you come good and start moving up the table, after all, us SUFCs have to stick together.
