The Morning After... 💔

Less than 24 hours after Southend United’s crushing 1-0 playoff elimination to Scunthorpe United, Scott and Oli sit down for a raw, unfiltered reaction. This wasn’t just a defeat - it was, in our opinion, the poorest performance of the season. A game where Southend never looked like Southend. No identity, no intensity and a side that looked beaten before a ball was even kicked. Now the reality hits… A sixth straight season in the National League. Around 15 players out of contract. A summer that could define the future of the football club. Where do we go from here? In this episode: * Immediate reaction to the playoff loss * Where it went wrong on the day * Questions over mentality, setup & approach * Huge squad turnover incoming * What the rebuild needs to look like ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
