SOUTHEND United fans have their say on Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Maidenhead United at Roots Hall.
The worst home performance of the Maher era. He has huge credit in the bank but something has to change, these tactics do not suit these players. Most worried about how poor some of the new players (Bonne, Moncur, Walker) looked. Seemed odd Wood didn't come on.

Was probably worse than Gateshead and Sutton , the defense wasn’t shocking apart from corners where we lack height and strength , in attack today we simply were not good enough . Spirit needs to be lifted which isn’t helped by fans constantly moaning.
@pulseband24
Dreadful. We don’t look like a team. Don’t look like scoring & concede such sloppy goals. Don’t know where we go from here.

Three consecutive home defeats.... Sutton, Gateshead and Maidenhead. Must be the most depressing set of defeats in our history.
@philjd52
We need to change the keeper. Colin has been fabulous for us and really grow as player over the last couple of years, but we are literally crying out for a better keeper!
@PinkyRound14
Kev knows what needs to be done. He will do what’s needed. We can’t get a break at the moment, but players need to stand up, fight for their shirt and the badge. Injuries stop some of the competition at the moment, but that will change.

I left after the second goal. That's what my thoughts were.
@SheilaBlackery
I said at half time that we were ponderous and predictable with no creativity, no ideas, no cutting edge. The most worrying thing is that didn’t change after the break. Very poor. I would expect the management team to be asking serious questions of the players.
@shrimperlee
Said it before but we haven’t had a truly grizzly centrehalf for years. Why we think we’re the only National League team that doesn’t need one is strange. Their semi-pro # 5 won everything including both goals; meanwhile we try to play pretty at the back. Get caught every week
@BryanGOBsmacked
Worst performance for a long time. Less said the better as some of those players stuck by us when they could have gone elsewhere so they deserve time, but keep up those performances and it's going to get ugly soon.
@sjapresley
We’ve lost Cards, Kens, Cav, Wes, Powell, Cokes who all knew each other well and replaced them with players of inferior fitness and desire and/or quality. So no wonder we are where we are. The squad and spirit we loved so much has gone. A crushing blow for the fans once again.
@djmikejolly
Abysmal! Worst performance at home this season. Beaten by a team of part timers who looked better than us & outdought us in every department. Why didn’t Pepple start since our 2 forwards were too lightweight to deal with their defenders. Back to the drawing board Kev!
