Indeed - but I have my Southern wit and charm to fall back on.

You, by contrast, are screwed my good man

Sorry it took so long for me to post. Why did we lose....??? To be honest because Southend outplayed us for the first 45 minutes. I think just on the last 15 minutes alone we deserved a point. When Zebs scored the team went back to how we have been since Northampton away last season.

Through out the winning streak I have been saying it has been brilliant to see us playing as a team and all going for the win. For the first half, the team all dropped their heads together, and we were not given the time on the ball as we have been use to. 2 great strikes from them and an absoulte brilliant save in the closing minutes earned them a well deserved win.

Hopefully Buckle and the team do not get too disheartened and put it behind them for Accrington.

if we had got a point or three then bucks would have been vindicated, but as fellow posters have said if we play like we did in the 2nd half then we will win

more games than we lose - or even draw.

i think that we should hold our hands up and say on the day southend deserved to win.
it does remind me of rochdale away last season when we were particularly dire and nearly snatched an undeserved point right at the end then.

lets be delighted in the way that our team are playing, and build on that, we arn't going to win every game.

I think we have all seen the quality we can produce to not let a oneoff at Southend really worry us too much. Gone are the days when we got a few results by a bit of luck or rank bad play by the opposition; our team can really play good stuff and even the nonfootball interested in my family have been impressed by the performance against Reading and against Bournemouth. A fantastic start to the season and barring any injuries with our tiny squad we will give a few real of the big boysin the lower leagues a good kicking.........................yellowsssssssssssssssssssssss

I'm not interested (in any real sense) what our league position is on any day of the season except the last. Surely a temporary single place drop in the table (from 1st to 2nd, hardly a catastrophe) and a chance (however slim) of winning the paintpot trophy is better than an essentially meaningless grasp of first in the table and no chance of Wembley glory.
But for a little bit of luck or finding to opposition in average rather than sparkling mood, we could have had our cake and eaten it.

Matt.

Not sure why you're all trying to analyse and find reasons for the defeat. Some are not surprisingly blaming the manager for playing a 'full strength' team at Bournemouth. We should just accept that we got beaten by a team who played really well on the day, and ultimately deserved the win. This is in spite of the fact that we could have grabbed a draw in the last few minutes, which itself should show you that we should still be encouraged by the positive start to the season.

I mean...there's 41 games left! I'll be pretty happy if we win 80% of those games. 120 points should be enough :)

I'm sure that was Bucks' thinking but the loss to Reading didn't seem to affect our league form against Lincoln, Bradford and Port Vale. We've seen in the past our manager doesn't like to rest players in the cups and I hope the performance at Southend may have made him think a little more about it. You can have all the winning mentality you like but if you're not 100% fit then you struggle.

Exactly - maybe the Buckle arrogance coming out again. You cannot hardly have it both ways - he was quick to trot out the line about the number of miles travelled and games played after Saturdays defeat but he chose the option not to rest some of the squad on Tuesday night, so really if tiredness was an excuse then he should have done something to address it.
