From an awful first half which reminded me of the same mistakes from the same players in the Charlton game to the second half where we were almost unplayable. Outstanding effort. Unfortunately first half was sluggish - the same signs were there at Charlton and on another day Southend would be 2 or 3 up. Sarcevic didn't track Leonard twice and both were extremely close to goals. Sawyer caught on his clearance for the goal.
Second half was a different game. Outstanding effort. Blissett grew into a player. Everyone was fighting and we wanted it more. Sarcevic improved. Carey and Jervis more influential. How we did not win it in the end I do not know - but that 2nd half show was magnificent. Proud of that effort.
Oh and Ryan Edwards - what a player. That game told me we have a gem. He was outstanding anf if he stays fit will go onto better things. 100%. Bradley also outstanding and unlucky with the goal.
Great, great effort from everyone to turn it around.
Edit: People lambasted me for saying the Charlton game was a flat performance and suggesting we were outstanding. I would love for one of those people to look me in the eye and say that again considering how much better we were today and how much more we wanted it.
