Just seen the highlights (if you can call them that) and Southends penalty is soft. Taylor didn’t do a lot wrong and think it was more of a case of the Southend player looking for it and the ref trying to even out the soft penalty he gave is
Yep. Even their chairman raised his eyebrows at me for that one! Both pens were soft.Tugboat":2ja4lxz5 said:Just seen the highlights (if you can call them that) and Southends penalty is soft.

We said that last season after 10 then after 20 then bang!!!
We cant have that bang every season. All be it the season is a marathon not a sprint but for me the 1st team looks a lot weaker than the one on rthat run last season.
Bradley is better than woottan
Vyner is better thsn Edwarda
Threkheld is better than both right backs
Sarcs or Toums missing in midfield
I think Sawyer was better at left back yesterday when he came on
Add in Ruben was a passenger yesterday, Tayls was isolated and our midfield was steam rollered it made up for a frustrating day.
I trust DA after his run lasy season but we need to remove the green tints.
Very early to say Wootton is worse than Bradley. I remember being very underwhelmed by Bradley's first couple of games when he first joined.JannerinCardiff":2r3gnwv1 said:rsp4":2r3gnwv1 said:moles40":2r3gnwv1 said:Come back after 10 games then let’s see how inaccurate your forecast is.

Totally agree with the view that Bradley is better than Wooton, which begs the question.. why did we not try harder to keep Sonny? We knew we’d lose Vyber so why not at least try to keep one decent recognised CB (nobody knew how Edwards would come back after his health issues)
With the exception of Smith-Brown we are certainly weaker in defence than last season. I think we need a decent CB (who’s not slow) more than we need a central midfielder.

Yesterday was awful but let's at least give players a bit more time. You'd have thought we would have learnt our lesson now to not judge players straight away.

I’m judging this on a full pre-season and two league games against poor L1 teams (IMO), I just don’t know why we let a perfectly good CB (who won a player of the season with us) to replace him with someone with no more pace, less aerial ability, less of a threat in opposition boxes, equal or less positional sense. We brought in 3 new CB’s yet not one of them is better than what we had last season.Dorry just my view- we should have offered a better contract to Sonny.
