HOW Southend United’s fans reacted on social media following Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Blackpool.

Blackpool weren’t convincing but we aren’t good enough to push for that point and put them under pressure after Macca’s tremendous goal.

@shrimpersaway

Even game overall which on another day we could have won and with the three teams around also losing, we would have gained some valuable ground. We definitely need snookers now!

@tommyharris57

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt genuinely disappointed by a Blues defeat instead of just expecting them to lose. Credit to Sol and his team for making us compete now at this level. Still going down but with a bit more optimism for next season.

@Gdjg72

Blackpool beat us yet again by height. Unfortunately our depleted squad cannot combat this but they can hold their heads high. Southend played the better football.

@phillsilver9

A game that on another day we could have won. Few chances not taken but definitely moving in the right direction under Sol.

Solid performance again, had a few good chances. Felt we were unlucky to concede the first goal even though they had many chances before that. At the end of the day Blackpool were the better team and it showed. But the youngsters have made us proud again.

@TheoPaphitis4

We missed the forward urgency provided by Harry Phillips.

@cjblues2505

Announce relegation.

@TomSalmon123

Looked sluggish and off the pace first half like they’d been on the ketchup again. Better second half, kind of, but overall a complexing performance. I don’t know, it is what it is I guess.

@djmikejolly

I thought we gave a good account of ourselves. Just defensively we are a shambles. Can’t deal with players with height or pace. Milligan and Oxley errors for the umpteenth time

@therealdaddsy

Thoroughly depressing again, it doesn’t matter if you play well or score a wonder goal if you still lose. Just want the season to end now.

@SheldonW65

Another learning curve for the youth players, I can see Clifford being a very good full back. It was a game we should have got something out of. A midfield with Mantom and Milligan is awful, no creative play from the pair of them, Kelman isolated with poor service.

League Two getting closer.
