Yeah, but it's JCH. Nuff said.
Thats the only time I can think of JCH going down yesterday. How much more dangerous did he look staying on his feet ?! If he played like that every week he’d be one of my first picks, as it is maybe impact sub for last 30 mins could be his calling

He was a different animal yesterday wasn't he.

No Pen for me, can tell by the reaction of the players aswell as no one really appealed for it.

I think I can remember but can't remember a massive pen shout?
JCH never goes down easily?

No he always stays on his feet

I think his "laboured" sprinting may owe more to him having titchy little short legs.

It wasn’t massive. Did look like he’d been fouled though
Ps was being sarcastic about JCH.

When JCH stays on his feet he’s far more effective, it feels like refs have it in their heads that he goes down too easily so doesn’t get the call when he’s genuinely been taken out.

Saw McNulty playing for Reading on TV a couple of weeks ago, looked like he had a puffer jacket on under his shirt!!!

The goal was offside
The goal was offside (5.58). Also, looking at the replay of the big offside call against Southend, I'm assuming that their player in the middle wasn't deemed active (7.56). Clear penalty missed (1.55), though

Luckily JCH goes down easy
Offside? Nonsense, it's impossible to tell from that angle and viewpoint. Looks about level on the Sky footage, so onside.

That's a definite penalty at 1:55. With the position of the referee and the linesman on the opposite side you can see how it was missed.

Like most League 1 managers, hence they are managing in L1?

Frankly, I think Powell is clutching at straws here. If it is offside, it’s very marginal. He claimed they got ‘stronger and stronger’ and created the ‘better chances’. That’s a worrying assessment in my view because they didn’t threaten us at all but for one or two chances. He spins it as their goalkeeper made ‘one save’, that one save was top notch and kept them in the game. I thought we were average, to be frank, but Southend looked even more distinctly average. One thing I like about Robins is that he seems to make pretty grounded comments, even when we lose.
An excerpt from Powell’s post-match comments:
“Nathan Bishop had maybe one save to make, and we had the better of the chances but you’ve got to take them”. Utter nonsense.

Southend only really looked dangerous that last few minutes.
We were clearly the better side in that second half and as soon as we scored one we were pressing hard for another.
We deserved the victory.

My thoughts exactly. Southend probably had the best chance of the first half from the corner, but that’s it.
I’m not going to rant and rave about our performance, because I thought we were average too. A Southend said it was a ‘0-0 game edged by the home side’ and that’s a reasonable assessment, we created, and scored the only clear cut chance of the game. Three points in the bag, job done.

Coinciding exactly with Robins dropping that negative deep set up and getting the ball down to play a bit of football. Who would have though an attacking midfielder would be more effective in an attacking team with people making runs in front of him, rather than receiving the ball 10 yards outside of his own box. He's not been in the best form but his own game was also hampered by having Doyle behind him and JCH in front.

That's not the offside point. This is (note, screenshoot after the ball has been played forward by Kelly, to Bayliss, in an offside position):

Let's see a screen shot as the ball is played, not afterwards, looking across the pitch in line with the last defender. Then you have a chance of proving if it is offside or not. That shot proves nothing.

Yep...I’m with you on this.
