Well when you are down at the bottom and get beat twice by injury time goals in the space of 3 days you know the gods are not on your side.
Lets clear one thing up right hear and now. Nicky Bailey is a talented footballer of that we are all agreed. What he did tonight to get a player sent off for is totally outrageous. There is no need for it nor is there no place for it. Our player was wrong to shove bailey in the chest but to hold your face like that and roll around like you have been shot is beyond a joke. Lets just says this. I really hope the whole thing was caught on camera and its sent to the FA as it was right up there with slaven bilic's attempt many years ago.
As for the game the better team won of that there is no doubt. Had we had 11 players we would have given you a hell of a game. As it stood i am immensly proud of our boys. They created enough and had the free kick been forced in with about 5-10 minutes remaining we would have taken the points. Thats been the story of our season. We hit the bar and you go down the other end and score.
I dont think charlton will make the automatic spots as in the last week you have been beaten at home and struggled against a ten man southend. You will make the play-offs and as we all know that is a lottery.
As for you support tonight . Fantastic numbers but very very quiet until you scored and then came the noise. We may not have the same numbers at southend but we sure have enthusiasm. I think we will be ok. The yeovils etc of this world will get beaten at the hall.
Good luck for the rest of the season

bailey is our very own robbie savage wind up merchant ... good luck for the rest of the season
As for Nicky Bailey and the sending off, well most of us haven't yet seen it. But we've complained enough on this site about him faking the rolling on the ground this season that I am certainly not going to rush to a knee-jerk defence of him until I've seen it.
Mate were you even at the game? There was no punch and there was such minimal contact it was a joke. It was a gentle shove . Bailey play acted and the ref bought it. Its all on camera and i hope its sent to the FA.
Personally if a player is going to get sent off for something i would rather he had chinned him.
Give it a rest nolly!
Ha ha, I saw something that you didn't and you are questioning whether I was there, that's the queerest logic I've ever heard! It was, I repeat, a clear punch.
Yes he went down like a sack of spuds and he deserved the booking.
Your man was an idiot though and if you punch somebody you have to go.
You say we were quiet, well I didn't hear you lot once.
We sang all game near enough. Thats roots hall for you. Sound like the san siro when your amongst it and move fifty feet away and its all just hand clapping and mouths opening with no noise.
Your were the biggest and quietest support this season (until you scored)
good job we scored then. enjoy the pier.
I thought i gave a fair assesment. You were the better side but were no great shakes. We are shit , but were unlucky tonight. You support was the largest but was also the quietest.
What exactly makes me a cunt?
Il tell you what does make a cunt. When you get a slight shove and then act as if you have been shot. Thats a cunt
This is rapidly turning into a biology lesson
Tilson not shaking Parky's hand?
I heard that the acoustics at roots hall are so poor that you can't hear fans 50 yards away, however much they're singing. apparently you can see them clapping and see their mouths moving but can't hear anything. Can't remember where i heard that though...
Will you go up? Probably not Will we go down ? Probably not. For what its worth leeds were the best support and southampton the best team we have faced this season.
Has to be a wind up. Completely the opposite! They made the valley look like the san siro
As for the atmosphere, I couldn't hear much from your boys for much of the game. Admittedly we were't as good as at Orient, and much of our singing was the Nicky Bailey song (and yes I do want ginger hair too
Anyway, I had a great time, and your guys seemed like an alright bunch before the game so I wish you luck for the rest of the season, and look forward to playing you soon (hopefully in the cup next year as opposed to the league, no offence).
