Exactly that. A decent, comfortable win, against a team that has lost every game that they've played this season, and we can start to put the last couple of games to bed. Lose or draw and start to get concerned that this season will be another struggle.

Got to have a chin of iron us Shrimps fans, so much to take on it. Our opinion,is just that, but as it stands, got to agree, whatever “half decent” turns out to be. :)

Think the main concern for me is the similarity between last night and Cambridge. It looks like we've lost our composure on the ball completely, which means we're losing possession in our own half frequently with our backline exposed - hence why the opposition have had so many unchallenged potshots at goal. Any half decent pro footballer will be able to hit a good shot from 20/25 yards if they're pretty much unchallenged.

Our off the ball structure seems to have gone completely as well. I liked the kind of rotating 4-3-3/4-4-2 we had with central midfielders swapping to step up and press the opposition defence with our centre forward. But we don't look organised at all any more. I think people are putting a shift in running wise but with little cohesion, meaning we're easy to bypass which leads to the same problem as above with our backline being exposed.

Slew probably the only positive from last night - tried to have a go at Newcastle and defended well barring a dozy moment ball chasing for their first. Was basically trying to cover left back, left wing and centre forward.

Thank god we have a new left back in Gibson. Grimsby fans seem to think he's a decent player, with the worst thing being said about him is that he's "average". That'll do for me at the moment. Songo'o coming in is very handy with Diagouraga getting sent off - like DA had a crystal ball!

Fortunately we're playing one of the few teams that will be more mentally fragile than us in Southend. Hopefully we can get back on track.

I appreciate that last night was a free hit, but what can DA have learned from that performance. Can see Turner coming back in goal, even though I thought Halstead did not much wrong. Hendrie was miles off it, so maybe NKP coming in. As for the rest, I suppose against a strong premier League side, we were always going to be second best in skill, but to be out fought as well cannot be acceptable. This is fast becoming DAs team now with not many of JBs players holding down starting places, so hopefully the new lads can gel sooner rather than later and regain some positivity on the pitch

No easy games and Saturday's will be very difficult to approach mentally, needing a positive result of any kind brings it own challenges, I shall pay my tenner and tune in once again, the way it's going I'll have part shares in a stand, the money it's costing :lol:

Too many similarities between the Cambridge and Newcastle games for me.

The outstanding one is our lack of closing the opposition down in midfield allowing them to run with the ball into dangerous areas creating goal scoring opportunities or as last night having a shot from outside of the box with no challenge coming in from ourselves.

Newcastle showed us the art of shooting for goal and how effective it can be when given space in which to have a pop.

Just wish when we are in similar positions we would do the same BUT that is something that we've experienced season after season....too many touches and a lack of confidence in ones shooting ability.

DA WILL get it right but we desperately need a striker (on loan from Newcastle :) )as we are down to two possibly even one if Cole's injury is bad.

After reading through this entire thread, I’ve come up with some points:

1. Under Jim we had 10 points from 16 games, rock-bottom, no cup-run, and we were all resigned to relegation (don’t act like you weren’t!). I don’t want to bring up the past but it’s already been brought up far too much and it’s time to move on by all sides. Let’s draw a line under it.

2. We had a great start to this season, 2 wins and a draw in pre-season. This was then followed by nearly 4 wins out of 4 (if we hadn’t have suffered a late collapse at home to Rochdale!). Plenty to still be encouraged about.

3. I predicted a 2-0 loss to Newcastle. I didn’t expect anything but I still feel disgraced by the performance! Again, just a lack of focus, concentration, discipline, pressure on the man in possession, and a huge lack of any sort of performance ON the ball! We put out a team of 11 professional footballers and, even though I didn’t expect anything from the game, I at least expected a proper fight & more than one chance to our name.

4. Slew was good, mainly in the second half. Lavelle & Davis also didn’t do that badly, most of the goals weren’t their fault. Hendrie on the other hand - don’t get me start on his performance... :evil:

5. Did we have a midfield? Almost every time Newcastle won the ball back and attacked in the first half, it was 3/4 of them, versus our 4 defenders. Too many in the midfield were passive and didn’t add anything to the game. And then of course Toums was completely out of his mind to dive in like that.

6. Further to my previous points, if our players had actually closed the man on the ball down, a lot of thse 12 goals could have been avoided.

7. We. Need. A. Striker. I know they’re hard to come by, but goalscoring doesn’t look to be one of our best points that’s for sure.

8. A win on Saturday is a MUST. No excuses. Cooney to start. Southend are there for the taking.

Good luck with that one :?
All this continuous bitching is starting to grate, Nobody has anything left to prove!

Time to forget what's gone and move forward starting on Saturday, get behind the manager and the team..........for all our sakes

Yes it’s getting quite annoying now. As much as I want to support the club, I don’t want to pay £5 for a monthly membership to watch a 1 minute interview for a 7-0 home loss. I don’t know whether the club has anything to do with what gets put behind the paywall but it’s annoying nonetheless.

Just a thought, I don't know if this would work but...

If you pay £10 to watch the game on Saturday, can you watch the interviews etc before kick off or at half time?

I’m 99% sure you can’t, I think the website treats the audio passes as a full subscription which includes the ‘extra’ content, but the match video pass seems to act just as a one-off payment and no ‘extra’ perks are associated.

What you say would be a good idea though - maybe make all exclusive content available to video pass holders from 2pm to 6pm for a 3pm KO? But it’s the EFL we’re talking about!!

Newport are putting a decent shift in but Bruce has tinkered with the starting 11 and they look unbalanced, I'd expect that scoreline to change once donkey goes off and Joelinton steps up.

1-0 to Newport after 77'. This will be a fabulous result if Newport can hold out.
