FC Halifax Town v Southend United LIVE

Southend break with the incisiveness Town can only dream of before a shot from the right of the box is blocked

1,766

Just been one of those days where pretty much everything Town have tried just hasn’t worked. George had a shot saved early on and then Waters missed his big chance. Other than that, barely anything of note

Chances of a Halifax fightback here are slim at best the way things are going

Crowther heads the free kick over the bar

Southend free kick on the left midway through the Town half

Adetoro and Bray on for Cummings and Jenkins

Bonne, Husin and Waldron on for Walker, Pepple (who has been superb) and Moncur (who was also good)

Cooke tries to hook the ball in from the corner of the 6 yard box after a shot is deflected but the SU keeper keeps it out

Town look a long way off being able to get back into this game now

Southend get their second. You can’t say it hasn’t been coming

Another shot by Pepple turned behind by johnson. He could have had a hat trick

Oluwabori on for Hoti. Not surprised, not been his day today at all

Town clear it

Another Southend corner

Moncur breaks down the right before his low cross is met with a first time shot tipped behind by Johnson

Looks like Town have gone to a back 4

It’s not getting much better from Town, who must be thinking about changes soon surely

Free kick drops to a Town man at the far post but they’re crowded out and it rolls back to the SU keeper
