**Southend Match day thread**

Shocking. God knows what he should do. No bite in midfield so maybe Get Songo on but the we lose creativity but Grant has been poor. Mind you so has Ness. No one seems able to put their foot on the ball and control the game. Scarily poor!

We are not controlling the midfield at all. Fox, Grant and Ness are just outmanned in the middle of the park. We definitely are missing Sarcevic. I would not be surprised to see Sawyer come on so that Smith-Brown can go forward with Carey moved out to the right and Lamieras sacrificed. Maybe Songo’o replacing Grant with Fox and Ness taking a more central presence to move the ball wide. It is clear why DA is still looking for a midfielder.

Always going to struggle with new players in the team.Give it half a dozen games before unleashing the firing squad.

Mildly worrying, but to give credit where it's due, Macey has had a decent first half. Some good saves, plucking the ball during corners. It's the defence letting us down. Wouldn't be surprised to see Moore taken off, he's had a shocking half

Don’t know who it was but one of ours grappled one of theirs for their pen. Stupid when the ref may have been looking to balance the books for our pen..

Surely that’s what pre season is supposed to sort out? Especially considering we had the squad sorted so early in the summer this year.

On the postive side, apart from the early spill Macey has done well.

The two full backs look decent. Smith-Brown with his distribution and Moore with his industry.

Argyle started so slow in this game. Taylor is isolated. Carey and lameriras drop so deep its like a flat midfield 5.

We are slow in our thinking. Yet with all these ball playing midfielders our biggest crime is playing hoof ball to Taylor. Even if Taylor wins the ball there isnt the numbers getting forward. We are pedestrian in midfield. Simply no energy about the team.

Simply dont get our game plan. We have two no10 who should dictate the play when we attack. However, simply cant get them in the game.


It can only get better second half.

Gary Sawyer looks set to come on. Argyle brought him on as a third CB last week, and went to 3-5-2. He's on for Ruben Lameiras this time. #pafc
