A shot direct from a free-kick, right into the top corner.

It was, it was Hardings. But there is only one way to defend a direct free-kick.

Indeed, where the f*ck did this Southend lot come from then?

Exactly what I thought, he obviously did it thinking he was going through.

How do you defend a direct free-kick other than form a wall and stay on your man?

1-1, awesome free-kick from Hardings tackle.

Harding booked for a trip, when Laurent gets away with two sliding challenges after the ball has gone for nothing.

Can anyone tell me what qualifies as a "stonker" of a chance? I'm not quite sure.

Isn't it after 70 minutes where the result still stands anyway?

Southend shoot just wide, oh listen they have fans!

Iiiiiiiiiiin thaaaaaat number....

Have you guys not found the match thread yet?

Nevermind, he stands by it. Come on Saints!

Ref might be disallowing it.

Get in Saints 1-0

Same as V Gillingham then.

Saints fans are unbelievably loud at the moment.

Pardew saying no excuses not to win, we had a tuesday game but so did they. Saints fans already in fantastic voice and drowning out the home fans, COYRs!

He's going back after the international break.

I'm usually the same, but he did well in that role V Gillingham. If he doesn't go forward then he won't get too tired, meaning he can concentrate all his energy on defending.

This. Pardew hasn't thrown players straight into the first team even when they were fully fit, there was no way Connelly would have started.

Neither, Wotton will just sit back and NEVER go forward.

I'm pretty sure they have rain in Florence.
