Southend match thread

Reid scores? Was it in off his ass?

Barnet score a second though.

But chesterfield pull one back at Torquay......

well feck a duck 'ol Shezza is doin' the biz.

4 mins injury time

FT Easy win.

Get in,. Great result and needed with the other results. Real pressure on Aldershot and York now. 7 points from 7 games keeps us up methinks. Well done Argyle.

Apity that some of the other results didn't go our way but a good win. It's in our hands.

Absolutely feckin amazing how 3 points and out of the relegation zone of the bottom league in English football feels like winning Champions League.

Accrington win 4 -0 which brings Wimbledon back into te fight.

Turks win too. Barnet still playing but 2-0 up.

Favourites to go down change every week. Torquay look like they've arrested their slide. Accy were looking doomed at 7.30 tonight - then bam - they wallop Wimbledon 4-0.

Gonna go down to the wire, innit.

With 4 of our last 7 seven matches against clubs in the top 7 play/off promotion places, we are still deep in crap imo.

Fleetwood and Sarfend are tailing off and I can't see our lot getting much against those 4 clubs in the promotion shake up.

We'll need 2 other clubs to go into freefall like last year.

Couple of wins and a draw should do it,you'd be pretty unlucky to go down with 50 points.19 points from 12 games under Sheridan,which just about equates to play off form.Makes you wonder what would have happened if we'd appointed a manager who knew what he was fecking doing in the first place.

Accrington and Aldershot are both away on Saturday, to Gillingham and Port Vale

Argyle away to Chesterfield who are too far off the play-off places now. I think you can all think about buying your season tickets now

Gutting that all the other results went against us, so in some respects we've just stood still. However it does seem to show that Sheridan is turning it round.

Could really do with Torquay beating York at the weekend. Aldershot have to go to Vale which should be difficult. We should be aiming to get something at Chesterfield; their playoff hopes look like they are receding. With everyone still picking up points it's still in the balance, but things are looking a bit brighter.

Great result sheridan is doing a fantastic job, nobody could have done any better after the fletcher fiasco left us in the shit.

We've been here before. A couple of decent results and people start to think it's ok now only for it to go tits up again. There is no way I'm counting any chickens or not believing the worst until it's impossible to disappear.

Have to say both Sheridan and the so called crock of shit some call the team are proving their mettle just now though. Sheridan can't go out there and play so some of this credit must go to the players. I am genuinely pleased for Reid tonight. He has looked so devoid of any confidence for several matches now and this one goal might just give him a massive boost he has needed.

Great result tonight. Well done Argyle!

AFC Wimbledon had three players away on international duty tonight and had to face Jeffers and Beattie - both have played for England - you've got to feel sorry for them - surely having three out like that isn't fair.

Qiute a lot of the crock of shit has already been flushed down the toilet and there will be more to follow.Of course credit must go to the players but without the mini clear out and rebuilding job carried out by Sheridan then we could have kissed goodbye to the football league already.I'm actually starting to look forward to games and really care about the results now,which was a feeling sadly missing during the pre Sheridan days.Lets hope he's successful in his efforts to keep us in the league and then carry out a big rebuilding job not involving fireman from Port Talbot and crocks from Chesterfield.

dont bank on it tring sometimes must win = can't win.


great result and most unexpected.

We did ok last night. Under the cosh for long periods. But this is what I liked. Everyone seemed to stick to their task in a very disciplined and very Sturrock mk1 like fashion. Plenty of hoof ball and I expect plenty more in the weeks to come. Plenty of backs to the wall defending and I expect plenty more in the weeks to come. Argyle being Argyle still have the ability to cock it up right royally but JS by minute degrees is achieving something.

As an aside very muted celebration from Reid. Maybe that's normal for him. But something looked like everything isn't rosy with him. Played well though a ppor mans Micky Evans if you like and will always be marmite with the fans I'm guessing.

Confidence is everything and the team must be getting some of that now, quietly confident.
