2 penalties - one a bit dodgy, one stone bonk. Moore off after 2 bookable fouls. Can't say anything about the last two goals - the people i know who were there were in the bar!
Four goals put past us,we had one shot on goal all game. Their keeper joined the many before him, who have kept a clean shirt throughout the game. Yet Smith makes sarcastic gestures to the away fans as he leaves the field. Thanks guys, more of my hand earned down the crapper for naff all.

I'm a regular home and away but I did n't go today because I wanted us to loose heavily - and i'm not dissapointed that we have.
I have totally lost confidence in Smith and will not be going again untill he is dismissed. Over the last few months we have been a complete shambles.
Smith's faith in Ademeno to start scoring goals is like having faith that a blind man is going to regain his sight . Its not that he has n't got ability - it's just that he has totally lost his confidence. Not only that, but does he actually care weather or not we stay up? Of course he does n't! He will be going back to Southend no matter what. It absolutley beggers belief that the management have n't given Blackman a chance over the last month or so. After all he's only played a couple of league games actually in his best position of STRIKER. Complete and utter nonsense.
I new for sure that the game was up for Smith and NetherCLOTT at Fisher on NYD. Ellis Green had just equalised and Smith (who was on the pitch at the time) turned to the dug out and told Blackman to start warming up. By the time that Smith signalled to the bench to bring Blackman (and Omari) on we were 3-1 down. It shows loud and clear that Smith has no faith in NetherCLOTT in the fact that he did n't entrust him to manage the subtitutions. Even at 0-0 it was blatantly obvious that we needed a change. Our players were playing there third match in the space of a week. And playing absolute ****e!
Now i'm not too impressed with the management in the board room, particulary of late, but I'm prepared to accept that, to a certain extent, in the hope that it will improve. But I really do believe that if this club gets relegated then it will be a major struggle to get back up any time soon. And with Smith and NetherCLOTT this club is definatley going down. I went to the meet the Manager forum and Smith sounded quite impressive. But he has lacked support, lacked luck and seems to have lost the dressing room as well as the fans backing.
I do hope Barrie wields the axe this week and gives the new man time before our next league match against Lewes in 2 weeks time.
Because if Smith is there when we face Grays and Lewes - I wont be.
SMITH OUT
