    We have a second eleven

    Thinking about the side that started Saturday got me thinking about all the players we currently have not in the starting line up. We could have fielded the following who I think would comfortably avoid relegation. Paul Smith Leonard Mads Bolger Coker Worrall Timlin Atkinson Williams...

  5. Ref Watch Walsall (H) League Cup 1

    Tomorrow's referee needs little introduction; he is the youthful looking Gavin Ward from Oxted in Surrey who will be doing his first competitive match of the season. His four most recent Southend matches were definitely some of his better ones, taking charge of the entertaining home 0-0 with...

    Group A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon

    Group A, the group of the host nation, and possibly even the favourites. It seems that the draw has been kind to Brazil, and they will be expected to qualify from the group easily. The battle for second place and qualification to the next round will be close, with all three of the other teams...
  7. Talk about tight!

    Who here at the beginning of the season could have predicted Northampton , Bristol Rovers and Exeter would be fighting to avoid relegation to the Conference. Torquay need a major miracle to avoid it.Wycombe also in the fight against relegation i think Harltpool are safe as is Accrington...
  8. Ref Watch ...... Scunthorpe A

    As we head to a ground we've never won at, against a team we haven't beaten away in the League for over 30 years (but what a win that was!) tomorrow's match will be refereed by a Mr Brown from Hull ....... no, not that one !!! The referee is Mark Brown who is in his fourth season as a League...
  9. Ref Watch ........ Northampton A

    With wins in competitive matches between Southend and Northampton tied at 43 apiece, we head to Sixfields for a fixture which has produced 21 goals in the last four outings (and we got 12 of them !!). The referee will be an official we have not seen for some while, in fact not since he called...

    Matt Harrold - Useless for us, only scored 3 in 2 seasons. Has since gone on to play for Wycombe, Shrewsbury & currently Bristol Rovers. Has scored a total of 45 goals since leaving. Gary Hooper - Usually 3rd choice behind Freddy & Foran (Unbelievably). Currently with Norwich in the Prem. Since...

    Pre-Match Thread Dagenham (H) - JPT 2

    Well, I'm assuming Brown will go against the old adage and WILL be changing a winning team, given his previous comments about Craig Reid, but will that be the only change? I see on the Daggers website that one of their players has been put on stand-by for NI u-21 duty, given that Thompson is...

    Who is in line for Representative honours?

    With England playing Scotland tonight and for some of us memories of the Home International Championship, it's perhaps time to give a thought to the Prediction League's "Roots Hall Home" Championship. After this Saturday's fixtures it will be selection time with the top three scorers from each...
  14. +'s and -'s

    Well the carousel has turned again and many fans have waved goodbye to pessimism and are sold on the annual 'we can do this' donkey. What are the pluses? a) A small but seemingly competitive squad. b) Player versatility in most positions...

    Southend United manager Paul Sturrock: League Two tougher than ever before

    AFTER tonight’s game with Chesterfield we’ve reached the half way point of the season and I think it’s safe to say League Two is even more competitive this year. More...
  20. Shale Gas/Fracking

    Finally the government has done something that might actually encourage growth. There is an abundance of shale gas in the North of England. It has the potential to dramtically reduce energy prices and also reduce carbon emissions since gas power generation emits a lot less carbon than coal. In...
