It would be so desperately unlucky if any sort of playoff push this year is derailed by the pitch.
No fault in the ground staff of course, it's just been terrible.
I'm betting the pitches in the south are pretty heavy at the moment too.
For me, the way we withstood the 10 minute spell of pressure around the 70 minute mark showed how much progress we've made. We'd have conceded a goal - or even two- in a similar sustained attacking spell last season. We've really grown as a team.Yes, that was the main thing for me too today, although I thought it was a bit later, just after James Jones came on in a bid to form a more defensive formation. I am not sure whether I said or just thought that Southend can't keep up that pressure for too long, and that, provided we got through that spell, we would be okay.
We did get through, and scored a second goal, and even could have scored a third, which Regan Linney probably would have got if he was at full match sharpness, if you know what I mean, but that margin would have been harsh on a very good Southend team; I do admire the togetherness of their players management and supporters, who rightly applauded them for their efforts at the end, but not their departing ownership.
As for the minute's silence, people should really know, but maybe it needed an announcement to say that you should not applaud at the start of a minute's silence...
...have allocated 1,268 tickets out of 1,550 to themselves - and only 282 to Charlton!!!
Alty, please take note...
Th :-\ey have two competent NL standard players for every position.......So I am told....currently on holiday with three CFC season ticket holders
May struggle in midfield today if Isaac is suspended as reported.How true this turned out to be. I don't think Lundstrum would have had the same influence had Isaac been present and it may well have tipped things our way.
A difficult task without him today
A draw will be a good result
Some of their fans don't seem that sold on Lundstram yet, in which case they don't deserve him.
The more level headed amongst them that got the best angle of the penalty decision seem to accept that you see them given (even though it was soft), TV angles still very inconclusive.
Most of them seem confident they'll make the playoffs on the basis we were rubbish - I'd be more worried they couldn't dispatch us when we were there for the taking.
Just a thought,should not have let Hulme go
I think Jordan wanted to go, and I think we all need to move on - he finished last season strongly but he wasn't the answer going forward.
Perhaps an argument to move back to the Gateshead system at the weekend, play Newby and Amaluzor 'up front' with CCC behind, bring James Jones back in for some minutes and possibly Justin Donawa from the start too?
Could even start with the two Justins up front and drop someone like Newby to the bench as we probably just need to freshen things up a bit?
