SOUTHEND United fans have their say on Saturday's 2-2 draw with Forest Green Rovers.
First half we sat too deep and in the formation we set up in, we were too predictable. Full credit to Maher making the change in formation; changed the game up. We attacked at pace and three up top meant we played the game higher up the pitch. Thoroughly deserved draw.

Good game, decent result, shame on those booing HC, shirt memories some people, should be ashamed of themselves.
@rayleighmartin
4 3 3 or 4 4 2 at last! Hope KM sees that works where 3 5 2 hasn't.
@charles_colin
Formation change made a night and day difference. Players looked more comfortable and confident in this shape. I don't know what that says other than that perhaps we ought to play in that formation?
@MaxwellWatson79
A solid point against a good side. FGR pressed us really well, something we didn’t do at all to them. Second half was much better than the first. Bim and Walker both looked really good.
@DanDobisz
Stood off them a little too much 1st half but thought the change to 4-3-3 was desicive. We seemed to have more control of the ball and was quicker to 2nd balls. I thought we looked decent playing the 4-3-3 formation.
@SearchTerry
Pepple and Walker were class up top, really put a shift in. Just need some more creativity from the midfield to give them some more genuine chances. Second half was miles more like it!
@Stuartwalters7
First half was pointless (in every sense), but second half was more positive and we could’ve won it. Two things that grate with me… 1. When will Collin learn that kicking a ball into the wind won’t carry like he expects it to?! 2. Why doesn’t Pepple get 90mins? Genuinely baffling.
@djm_eightyone
Can't grumble. Didn't expect to get anything today. Happy with a point.
@LawrenceBenge
A definite game of 2 halves! We were slow and in restive in the 1st half & FGR dominated possession & were in control. 2nd half went to a 4-3-3 with Walker out wide & looked the better side. Deserved draw & could have nicked it b table topping FGR.
@tommyharris57
Substitutions for once worked for us, walker tearing the full back up down the left. Collin unlucky with the second goal as clearance seemed to be hit straight at him .Again we have run a really good team close, now we must do it every week.
@MatthewYeatts53
Much improved in second half and deserved something. Why some ‘fans’ booed Harry Cardwell is beyond me, gave his all when playing for B
@simoncooper99
First half was boring and we never really got going... becoming a theme that we are a very reactionary team. We need to use the 4-4-3 formation going forward.
