We fell asleep after we scored and we were barely awake to begin with.

Good news lads, we're not losing anymore points from a winning position today.

Does anyone know when the football starts?

Nothing too wrong with the line up. Osula was one of our few decent players last week, so dropping him would be harsh. Although I do think he may be more suited to the wing, so possibly would have liked to have seen him start on the right with Woltemade starting instead of Elanga. Glad to see Ramsey starting, we needed his energy last week.

Sandro

I don't think I've ever known a team be so incredibly shit at holding onto a lead as we have been this year.

Those are 3 very handy players they've brought on. Need a second to kill this off.

Would be happy to sub both our wingers off, neither playing well.

On second watch, he did well to sort his feet out there. First time we've tried to pass with any urgency and it leads to a goal.

That second save is top class.

The moment Palace get back into any sort of defensive shape, I've got absolutely no confidence in our players to produce something to lead to a chance.

This is a bit shit so far.

I like Roots Hall, good old school ground. Glad to see its going better for Southend recently, feels like for ages they were just waiting for administration.

They've been with their international teams haven't they? Although so has Osula to be fair.

Love it. Especially as the commentators have barely mentioned that there is a second side playing in this game.

Absolute hero. Signing him (Bruno & Burn too) turned this club around. That first six months he was here may be some of the happiest times supporting this club. The relegation battle against all odds and the new found hope that maybe, just maybe, one day this club may be fighting for Champions League spots and even win a trophy. Even then I assumed that would be after his time at the club. It's probably the right time for him and the club to move on. Wish him all the best for the future.

They were pretty poor last night.

Turkey through. Honestly can't remember a single shot they had other than the goal, admittedly I was only half paying attention during the second half.

Kosovo 0-1 Turkey. Tight call, Turkey player looked offside but not sure if he even got a touch.

Kosovo just hit the bar then missed an absolute sitter on the rebound. Turkey looking shaky.

Watching the Kosovo match and of course Michael fucking Oliver's face is there to ruin my mood.

Whisper it quietly, but Nick has been the best of our three midfielders so far.

If only they'd taken it quickly
