It's not news that the national league is run by cretins but this is right up there. The national stadium will be 2/3rd empty by design and fans of both clubs are scrambling for tickets.

Absolutely delighted with that win today. Hopefully some additional players will see us start to take games by the scruff of the neck, rather than simply relying on the other team having an off day.

Some games are harder to watch than others. And that was one.

Alan Judge wins the MotM award in a game of spectacularly low quality in both boxes.

Ralph is now static in an attempt to support Crowther so there's such a small chance to create something higher up the pitch. Could do with Bridge on at LWB.

Collin gets a warning for time wasting after 73mins. 70mins too late.

How the hell am I gonna write a match report about this?

The Woking fans shout wanker. Could be at anyone for anything, it's that kinda town.

Woking's press has intensified but a late challenge from their no9 earns him a yellow card.

Miley sent off for a 2nd yellow. The first one in the first half probably wasn't but that one was.

Woking are operating a Bring Your Own Sponsor scheme.

Ref has booked a Woking midfielder for winning the ball. What a game.

A really scrappy game so far. Ralph commits a professional foul to cover for Crowther's hospital pass and is yellow carded.

Southend have been the better team so far but unable to score yet.

Clearance deflects into the path of Bonne who sees his shot saved.

Southend lining up as a 4-3-3 with Miley and Coker ahead of Morton in midfield. Not a lot for either team to shout about in the first 5.

We haven't posted anything yet but when we do, bloody hell, it's gonna be exciting!
