Gateshead 1-6 Southend: Sam Austin takes the match ball

Phil, Charlie and Chris look back on Southend's 3-1 win over Tamworth and the six-goal first half at Gateshead, where Sam Austin claimed a hat-trick.

Show notes

Dyer's four half-time changes against Tamworth give the panel plenty to discuss. Omochere's hold-up play and the width supplied by McAdam helped turn first-half control into a 3-1 win, with Austin finishing the job.

At Gateshead, all six Southend goals came before the interval. The panel works through Cardwell's brace and Austin's hat-trick, with McAdam also on the scoresheet, then considers the late goal which cost Southend a clean sheet.

Massiah-Edwards' passing prompts a discussion about his future, while Austin's place in a crowded midfield becomes a selection question. Chris welcomes a settled back four, with Oldaker sitting in front, but the idea of starting Cardwell and Omochere together still divides opinion.

Charlie reports on the Ladies' 2-0 defeat at Leyton Orient. There is an Academy round-up and a look at the Southend Pioneers' family visit for retro day, before the Barrow preview: Charlie predicts 3-0, with Phil and Chris both going for 3-1.
