That's true, but at the end of the day, you just expect us to beat a team like Southend. A team who have been on a rather poor run of late in League 1.
Which brings me onto something else to banter about. What is it with us, and playing against teams with a poor run of form. Observe:
Roma (A) 1-3: had the worst home record at home in Serie A. We start brightly against them but somehow Roma find a good rhythm and we end up losing by two (at one stage by three!!)
Everton (A) 0-0: had the worst home record before we played them. We scored blank and thanks to the offside rule, Steven Pienaar didn't score.
Southend (H) 1-1: Poor run of form in League 1, we can't blow the bleeding house down, and yet they find the net in 90 minutes.
