    Southend: minus Hammell, plus Mulgrew

    To be honest, I didn't think we missed him that much. Mulgrew came in and plugged the hole admirably for a debutant. He got pulled out of position a bit too easil when Gray came on but then with Orient effectively playing 3/4 up the need for our wingers to track back was paramount which we...

    Organisation and a centre back

    It's great that we've replaced existing striking options with new ones but we shouldn't be getting too carried away here. For a start, these new guys don't come with any sort of track record to judge them on and the only personal endorsement I remember seeing were from the old Cockerney mucker...

    Forest scouting report v. Tranmere

    I thought I’d post on here because, for reasons that I don’t need to bore you with, I went to see Forest v. Tranmere and so I thought that I’d report back, albeit not being the most ‘football minded’ as some of you (to quote MK Shrimper). That might mean that my...

  4. Southend Unveil New Centre Back

    On a serious note, Watching the goals a defender with height would've stopped 2 of the 3 goals yesterday. If there's a serious problem, Why not bring 6'3 Harrold back to defend? I do think that Francis coming back could ease some of these fears, However I just don't see Tilson dropping Barret...

    Alleged new targets

    Lloyd Owusu. 8 games zero goals this season. James Hayter - 5 feet 9 inches of aerial power! 12 goals. Please someone - tell me it's not true!

    Just a suggestion

    Ok,don't batter me with neg-rep over this but think of it as a possible improvement for the team. We need Sodge's aerial ability.He had a rest last week and a chance to reflect on the bench,fair enough.But ask yourself,who's the best partner for him in the middle? For me,it's got to be the one...

    Vintage Shrimperzone: Retro Poll No.1

    Retro is in kids and to boost flagging morale I thought it might be an idea to revisit some 'classic' debates that have been ground out on Shrimperzone's pages over the last five or so years. First up is a question that for a few seconds intrigued the Shrimper world back in November 2002-...

    O.K. everybody stop yer bitching,i wanna suggest a reformation of thought and logic starting with our game on EBH Monday.Right,firstly, our last two games and for many games this season we have shipped in too many goals in one game.Seven goals against us recently defies the term "professional...

    Matt Harrold - some stats

    I think Matt Harrold was a really good signing. I don't see him as a 90 minute player, nor a regular starter (at least not at this stage of his career), but I think he's an excellent player to be able to bring off the bench, and you need players who can do that. His height and aerial ability...

    TEN MAN BLUES SNATCH LATE POINT Southend battled against all odds to claim a precious point at Roots Hall today which will assist in the fight against relegation. It may be easy for some to see this as two points dropped but given the manner of last weeks defeat, the midweek furore, the fact...

    Television Aerials

    Does anybody have any recommendations for a decent tv aerial company in/around Southend? I need to get my signal boosted and an extra line ran into another room but don't know who to trust (have called a couple of companies and they're all giving me completely different prices). Thanks in advance.

  13. Striker might be worth a look

    Was watching the scottish cup game yesterday Dunfermline v Rangers and Dunfermlines Jim Hamilton was outstanding he scored one and won every header that was put up to him the Rangers center halfs were outclassed by his aerial ability. It was the best old fashioned center forward play i have seen...

    My 2 cents

    Firstly, the stadium plans.  Well done RM, and in my opinion the plans look absolutely superb.  There is no way anyone can say that it looks crap - it may not look how they might want a ground to look, but it will be clean, futuristic, spacious and worthy of Championship football.  It may be...

    Paynter is not Tilly's worst signing ever,

    probably the biggest liability ever. Around 5 goals have come from his poor positioning and pathetic aerial ability in recent weeks. At least Paynter has shown ability in certain areas, Clarke looks like he just aint got it in any department!

  17. I know it won't happen.....

    ....due to Tilly's unquestionable loyalty but does anyone else think Efe should be brought back in tonight to mark Earnshaw? I really do fear we're gonna be ripped apart for pace this evening. I know Clarkey's quickish but IMHO I'd much rather have Efe on Earnshaw tonight now...

    Wiggy's reserve ratings,

    Sodje 8 solid as a rock, great aerial ability and bullet header of a goal, do we drop A.B, P.C or leave it as it is? Jay Smith 9 just what we are looking for, sublime defence opening perfectly waited through balls, god why doesn't he get a proper chance? Mitchell Cole 8 very lively...

  19. Barnsley - Red View

    Though obviously still a Red perspective, this is more the sort of reporting I would have expected to see on the Official Barnsley Site: Barnsley Rivals Slightly more realistic than: Which Barnsley shoud be ASHAMED of printing on their official site!

    Will the wheels come off?

    With our 3 tall centre halves (Sodje, Prior and Edwards) all injured, we are left with no real height at the back. Add Darryls lack of height into the melting pot and we look scarily vulnerable to a route 1 attack. Fortunately, Blackpool's John Murphy went off with a hamstring strain on...
