    Set Pieces

    Do we not practice defending (or attacking for that matter) set pieces on the training ground??? I am sure that we do however Time and Time again we concede soft goals from not clearing our lines, not tracking our men or not challenging at Set pieces. T&B must take responsibility for this...

    Hartlepool's Manager Chris Turner's take on today

    We Got What We Deserved Says Turner Posted on: Sat 12 Dec 2009 Chris Turner was in no mood for excuses after seeing his side lose out 3-2 at Southend United this afternoon. Pools went into the second half with a 2-0 lead which they quickly lost, allowing the hosts back into a game they went...

    I ain't one to hide...

    ...and you richly deserved the win. That was just as gutless and pathetic from Orient as last year, the difference being that Southend aren't any cop either this season, which makes it all the more worrying from my point of view. A terrible first half from both sides with little of note except...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Spencer Prior

    Four places (I think) left to fill and next up is Spencer Prior, albeit a day late in Ron Martin style. -------------------------------------------------- Separated by over a decade, Spencer Prior had two very different careers with Southend. Either would be sufficient to get him in the Hall of...

    Super-Outsiders? Not A Chance.

    Villarreal 1-1 Arsenal Senna, 10 Adebayor, 66 If it is true that whatever fails to kill you makes you stronger, then soon Arsenal will be invincible. After the painful grind of a season ruined by injuries and internal dispute, the Gunners are growing as a team, and as men. To come back from...
  7. By the next time Scunthorpe play...

    We could be in a play off spot. Our next game is on the 4th April away to Huddersfield. Tranmere play on the 5th home to Britsol Rovers, Scunthorpe have the Johnstone Paint final. That means they don't play again till the Good Friday, when they play Huddersfield at home at 7.45pm, we play MK...

    We should be more than happy with things at present

    After my initial upset at defeat yesterday, I realised that a few months ago(after defeat at Yeovil), I would have been more than happy to be where we are at the moment. I, along with a few others, were saying that maybe its time for a change and that Tilson had taken us far as he could. I admit...

    Comic Relief...."My mate is a Brighton fan..."

    If the fact that my mate Brett is a Brighton fan is not comedy enough, he's decided to do a Comic Relief fundraiser: "This year I shall be donating money to Comic Relief through the medium of the Seagull Soccerflid Circus. In the biggest 6 pointer since Todd Carty on Celebrity Dancing On Ice...

    The Hypocrisy Of Arsene Wenger

    After their excellent 1-0 win last night v Roma, he stated that all they had to do in Rome was "not concede". After all of Wenger's whining at the weekend, why don't they go over there and play football? (As it happens, despite what he and the media would have you believe, some of Sunderland's...

    Reoccuring Themes...

    After looking back to last nights events it made me realise how many times we lose 1-0 at home and how few times we win 1-0 away from home. Most teams come to Roots Hall looking for a point by putting men behind the ball, time-wasting etc etc and how we struggle to break them down. Crewe must of...
  12. View from the Orient

    obviously I am gutted to concede such a late goal, as we so desperately need a win....but to say we were outplayed is an understatement. And to be outplayed by the poorest Southend team I have seen for a LONG time says how bad we are. If we had lost 2 or 3-1 we couldnt have complained, such...

    Interview with an Exile - Part 11: The tables have turned!

    Hi folks, This will be the final Interview with an Exile for Series 1, and I thought I would give some of the people I have cheekily edited on here over the past few months the opportunity to get their own back. So in the series finale, I am answering the questions! Would like to thank...

    BW Hartlepool Highlights

    On the match thread I got my first laugh of the evening when the commentator on BW stated that we needed at least four points from Northampton and MKD's. My second, rather belated, (incredulous) laugh, came from watching us concede our first goal on Friday night. To lose possession in your...

    Orient thrashing, the 'Taking' of the Spread, and Wiggy's Identity Finally Revealed

    I had every intention of defying my usual trend of taking only 4 photos every trip to see Southend play, but the above is all I got this time around :D Friday morning started bright and early at 7am, where Billy no mates here made his way to Shannon Airport. Got a sneaky, and rather greasy...

    Ron Martin - the statement

    Right, let's clear a few things up straight away - Contrary to popular belief, I haven't been avoiding the subject all day - quite the opposite, I’ve been itching to get on here and finally say my piece. Truth is, I too lost out on a lot of work this morning, and the meeting was over 2 1/2...
  18. 1 point won or 2 points lost???

    Usually I am absolutely gutted when we concede and lose away, but today it was inevitable milwall were going to score.. Yes it was a kick in the teeth to concede in the last few minutes but im unsure whether to take it as a point won or 2 points lost? Thought the team weren't playing great at...

    Direct Free-kick Conceded

    Have we conceded from more direct free-kicks in a season before? Off the top of my head, I remember: Orient (h) Leeds (a) Doncaster (h) Millwall (a) Carlisle (a) Port Vale(h) Doncaster (a) Anyone remember any others? 7 (at least) in 48 games is quite a lot, almost 1 in every 7 matches. Are...
  20. The Source of Our Defensive Difficulties

    We all know that we concede too many goals from set plays, and this has been attributed to a lack of height on the part of our custodian and centre backs. Two of the goals in last night's rout have also been summarised thus: 'I blame the dwarf in nets'. But that's not it. What we lack is hair...
