Southend Victorious

Southend United 0 Charlton Athletic 1
A straw poll before the game would probably have most Addicks not giving two hoots to the result, but come on now, deep down we all wanted to win didn’t we? I did for sure.
The 1-0 victory in front of a noisy and impressive 1,200 Addicks is a further confidence boost, and suddenly we are nicely placed in a cup competition with the regional semi’s next. Who knew.
Parky rested a couple of players tonight and interestingly set us up in a 4-3-3 formation at the beginning and by all accounts Semedo, Racon and McCormack bossed the midfield. I sporadically had the commentary on but mostly followed the game via Twitter. Maybe there won’t be many highlights that’ll make the end of season video but I am looking forward to seeing man of the match Therry Racon’s goal.
Nice job Charlton.
Addicks at Roots Hall:
CA fact: 1,176 Addicks was most away fans at Roots Hall this season.
And the minute we start caring they’ll get beaten. Amazed so many people went.
Me too Pat. Southend midweek when return trains are not getting back into the city until gone 11pm is no meant feat.
