Southend V Posh

Thanks for your comments Roots, and no problem, Champers, with "hijacking" my thread - a better class of hijack than TF's!

You must be delighted, Champers, with your team's form and results this season. If only we hadn't got so cruelly relegated at Crystal Palace ...

As for tomorrow's Southend V Posh, the forecast persistent rain should be to your advantage, Roots - our players tend to slip up a lot even on damp surfaces - well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

As well as draw specialists, we're plentiful shot specialists, so here's hoping more of them are not just on target (another speciality) but actually hit the back of the net.

UTP!

Game on then Thorney. I'll pop back on here after the game unless you give us a stuffing. cheers mate.

Sounded like a close hard-fought draw, with Posh taking the first half and Southend the second half, until Maddison popped up with the equaliser - good on him!

Tottenham loanee goalkeeper, McGee, saved another penalty - good on him too!

Paul Taylor's working hard, but over-complicating things and not feeding Nicols. Have we got somebody we can start instead of him, against Bury next Saturday?

We missed the penalty because it was incredibly weakly hit. That said, I think a win for us would have been rough justice for you guys. So 1-1 was probably a fair result. I have to say that your finishing skills wouldn't look out of place in Sunday league football, it was dire, but then ours were much better. That's a shame because you are a skillful team on the build up to goal. I would have your no 10 Taylor in our side tomorrow, class player. Had we introduced Simon Cox and Fortune to our forward line earlier the result may have been a lot different because they caused your back line all sorts of problems. but there you go. So, until we come to the ABAX stadium, good luck.

Thank you for your comment, Roots, and the SKY link.

I agree that our finishing is poor. Unfortunately, Taylor's is non-existent - he is skilful, though. Maddison is our only finisher at present.

It will be interesting to see how things pan out for both of our clubs before the return game at London Road (so much nicer sounding than the ABAX).

Good to luck to you, too - both our sides will need some, if we are to get in the promotion places.

Slipping silently into another season of mid-table oblivion.Too many draws.

There's still plenty of time left for us to turn draws into wins, TF.
