⚽ Match Thread vs. Southend Utd. 21.02.23 [NL]

Obviously I don't want Southend to go out of business but that is as far as it goes. Their fans spent as much time slagging our support off as they did supporting their team. Their chant of 'Is this a library?', should have been countered with 'No it's an abattoir', cos we slaughtered them. Thank god we didn't sign the invisible man that was Jack Bridge.
They were moaning about their injuries but we were missing five also in, Brindley, TAR, Vincent, Nemane and Scott.
Rumours are that Paul Mullin is to be Tom Daley's new sychronised diving partner.
I thought LW allowed us to take the hand brake off tonight, as the work rate was through the roof tonight. What an engine Sam Austin has, so pleased he scored his first league goals tonight to go along with all of his assists which are impressive given the amount of minutes he has played.

Harsh, their support was excellent and deserves full respect.

A lot of praise for us on their forum:

Standard banter for away fans, especially if your team isn't giving you much else to sing about. To be fair, I thought our Kop was a bit off form tonight, relative to the brilliance of the performance.

To be fair, they were probably singing about the lack of support from the Pavis.

Well granted, the Pavis Stand is always a bit more reserved, but the Kop's usually our noise machine.
