SOUTHEND United fans have their say on Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Barnet.

Flat first half for both but we upped our game second half and had several chances we couldn't convert, showing the desperate need for a striker. Smash and grab for Barnet in the end. Bridgey was superb, as was our incredible support!

@SenseiPhil2

A game where we should have come away with a point minimum! Morton showed he can find a pass and play a ball. Brooklyn changed the game when he went up front. Amazing following as always.

@PaulyL07

Slow to get going in the first half. Took the game to them in the second half. Not being clinical on goal proved costly. Missing Cardwell's presence up top. Now the embargo is lifted, hopefully see's us bring in a striker or two. Poor officiating again.

@CharlieMullard

First half to forget for both teams. Thought we were better side in the second half and had the chances to win it. Need a natural goalscorer (but so do most teams in all leagues).

@garytelling

Unlucky today. Had two good chances second half and Barnet scored against the run of play. Morton looked useful when he came on. Hopefully we can bring in a striker soon.

@AndrewHackling

Ron's legacy continues to shoot us in the foot. Experienced strikers up front and we would have won the game, or at least got a draw, which was the least we deserved. Much better second half following changes. Morton looked assured and certainly not overawed. Certainly competing.

@sjapresley

Can’t have that many 1-on-1 chances and come away with nothing. When Barnet got the ball down they was a good footballing side. Disappointing really that they felt the need to time waste against a team in 16th. Weathered the storm and hit on the break. Two strikers needed!

@BenBerry93

Deserved something from the game today. We were much better in the 2nd half, especially once Husin was moved forward from which we created many more chances.

@cjblues2505

Kudos to Maher for making some early changes, after which we completely dominated. Deserved something from the game. Poor finishing & heroic defending meant we didn’t somehow score. Morton looks a player. Annoying to lose but in the grander scheme lots to be positive about now!

@DonsEssex

Much better performance 2nd half. Had good chances to win the game but didn’t take them. It’s obvious we need to bring in a goalscorer before the next game to get back to winning ways.
