    Wow, the defending from their 47 there, backed away and backed away and got pulled out of position by Godden who wasn't even in the box. Great composure from O'Hare.

    Was a decent enough first half given the conditions. Southend need the points and are playing like it (didn't think they were playing for a draw) but with our passing and the conditions in our favour 2nd half, I think we'll be fine.

    Can't remember the last time we made decent contact with a header from a corner. Do think that is one area we could still significantly improve in, especially with 3 CBs on the pitch.

    How is that not a yellow card? It's a textbook yellow, pulled Walsh back 25 yards out.

    There's an advert for a removals & storage company right next to where we ran out from too, bit of subliminal messaging?

    Shipley always seems to play well when he's had a spell on the bench. Don't know if that's the rest or his eagerness to prove himself but I expect him to score today.

    Almost team news time. Think Westbrooke, Shipley and Godden will be back in for this.

    That's pronounced 'doves' though for anyone who wasn't sure.

    Sam McCallum

    I didn't think McCallum was poor with what he did, but it was what he didn't do I thought was noticeable. Didn't get forward nearly as often in the last 2 games as he had been doing previously and it has a massive impact in that formation. I don't think it was the quality of winger he was up...

    Actually thought Kelly had his best game off the ball for a few weeks. On the ball he was well below par and I guess that is more visible.

    Sam McCallum

    I was one of the people that suggested his performances have dropped off last 2 games. It was a bit of lazy annoyance from me to question his commitment though, could be a myriad of reasons for it - age, quantity of games played, maybe he's carrying a knock. The wingbacks are absolutely key to...

    Makes the Bury situation even more frustrating as those 2 missing fixtures are going to prevent us reaching 100 points this season.

    Wish we had a bit more bite at times, Hyam just gets pushed over there and takes it without a word. he should be jumping up and having a word there.

    McCallum is barely jogging around. Would love to see his distance stats for the last 2 games vs before his move.

    Just worked out the amount of time we have spent in the league this season at either 0-0 or with a goal margin of 1 to either team i.e. how long we have spent with both teams still in the game. Up to half time today 2261 minutes out of 2475 minutes played. That's 91% of our time on the pitch...

    Am sure Biamou will be first change if it's still 0-0 at 70mins. EDIT forgot Godden was back on the bench too

    Decent enough first half, just hasn't quite clicked and the game is there for the taking. O'Hare and Allen's touch not quite good enough that half and we've been a bit 'flicky' whereas the pitch looks like a 'have a decent touch and move it on quick' pitch. Also think we've been a bit slow...

    Always a little more nervous about iFollow when it's a St Andrews match! Think all the issues have been 'home' games. Midweek game after shitty weather conditions. Wouldn't be surprised if the cable box has filled up with rain!
