Nigel Clough; Southend post match & match highlights

[Son Of Sherwood]

Could I take this opportunity to thank you, Son of Sherwood, for your constant supply of this thread on the message board, I, for one, am very grateful. As for NC`s comments, couldnt have put it better myself, there is no excuse for lack of effort and desire and that is what was lacking in the first 45 minutes.

Defended well for large periods. No football could be played on that cabbage patch pitch. It was all about doing the dirty side of the game. One sloppy moment cost us. Got a lead and then tried to be strong and resolute. Should have had a penalty. The biggest stonewaller you will ever see. The ref is not worth speaking about. Happy with a point. Tough place to come and it was an energy sapping pitch.

This was the Southend manager Mark Molesley quote from the local paper:

“It was a really tough pitch and if it had rained it was going to be called off straight away."

I wonder if that was from the referee, or his own opinion.

Thank you both, much appreciated.

and a very merry Christmas to all Stagsnet members

Poor positioning from Non Stech imo. An attempt at a save wouldn't have gone amiss either.

[northern stag]

Must admit from the angle we got I did wonder about his positioning, but the power on it meant he probably didn’t have time to move, brilliant strike, oh to see Charsley and co put their foot through the ball like that.

[chip63]

I could listen to Cloughie all day long, shame the players didn't in the first half.

[yorkshire stag]

agree but if the players are not taking it on board we int winning & im starting to get worried tbh,
for whatever reason these players don’t gel as a team & he needs to get this right next month

[arsene wengers coat]

They should build a brick wall in the home dug out so Nigel has got something to bang his head against.

From the angle we had in the West Stand, Stech had no chance.

Well he won't have had Marty, he was too far left and gave the player a massive target.

He had absolutely no chance with that, its right in the top corner at some speed from not far out...

Should watch Ben fosters vlogs where he sticks his camera in the net, some shots from way out the box with pace right in the corner shows a keeper sometimes has no chance. Never mind from the edge of the box like the shot Stech faced

fans are always right

[MTFCMusings]

No chance for Stech with that one, from someone who has criticised his positions previously.

[Tippy Tappy Football]

I think it was poor positioning by Mark Oxley in the Southend goal for Jordan Bowery's equaliser. Marek Stech would have been hammered for it. Oxley was expecting Jordan Bowery to pass to George Lapslie on his right and he was positioning himself to deal with a shot from Lapslie from the right hand side of the area. It was also a bad decision by centre half, Shaun Hobson, not to immediately challenge Bowery because he was also expecting a pass to the unmarked Lapslie who would have had a free shot on goal but from a tighter angle.

Lapslie, not Charsley.

Well spotted Martin. It just shows how easy it is to make mistakes when identifying players

And that's it from me with you. If your constant negativity aint bad enough you're now a GK expert.
You sir are a class A jebend. Dont bother charging your Wii up to reply as I won't see it...

[Spiritater]

I'm heart broken.

[MutinyOnTheCounty]

Tbf to Stech, that was a terrific well-placed shot which most keepers at our level would struggle with. That and the fact Olayinka had more time & space than Dr Who
