Southend Manor 1 Enfield Town 2

[Pavagrotti]

Every year I’ve been coming to Southend Manor and the first time we came we were warned protect your keeper within the first 10 minutes they will foul him. Sure enough each game this happens with monotonous regularity. Today spot on 10 minutes a Southend player fouled Chopper. And in fairness to the referee the number 10 was booked for it.

 

About 25 minutes into the game Billy Cove had a one on one with the keeper and lobbed him beautifully 0 – 1. Crowd go wild. About 1-0 minutes later Matty Negus at the other end tackles a Southend player in the box seemingly without any great consequence. Linesman flags penalty ref waves play on and then changes his mind and points to the spot. No consultation with the lino. Southend take the penalty and although from where we were standing Chopper may have made contact with it the force was too strong. 1 – 1. Southend didn’t even appeal for the penalty and even the Southend fans thought they were a bit lucky to get the penalty.

 

Mid second half Town attacked again and Billy managed to get a toe to get it past the keeper. 1 – 2. And so it stayed until 10 minutes of extra time had been played. Not sure where the 10 minutes came from but again Billy was a hero but the whole team did play well. Towns on a role. It is such an enormous difference having Johnny Rids and Matty Negus back. Bring it on Bowers! Unbeaten away from home Since September 2003. I think 0 - 2 would have been a fair result but we got the 3 points we came for.

Not a great performance but workman like which is good enough at this part of the season where all you want is three points

Hats of to Billy. Well done sir. Shame you didn't win the Easter egg Andy promised if you scored a hat-trick. I'd give you some of Little Miss Happy's but she'd run over your feet in her wheelchair when she gets back from holiday if you touched her chocolate!
