  1. The 12th Man

    Everyone talks about the fans being 'The 12th Man' in a football team when they are behind the club and what a difference it makes to the performance on the field. I am as disappointed as everyone else with how the season has started with losing to Orient and seeing us concede two goals in the...

  2. Tilson on the Radio!

    Says its not good enough, concede 3 goals from headers, not good enoughetc ...blah blah!! We're not F**king tall enough Steve.I and 5000 other people can see that why the F**k can't you. he says we're not good enough at set pieces,,,,,we weren't last season and what has changed...F**K ALL...

  3. The real problem with us at the moment

    is that without striker(s) who can regularly find the target, the defence is **** scared to concede a goal, knowing that we then have to score one to get something from the game, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that we've not got the most portent strike-force about . . . ...

  4. Steve Collis

    surely its time for him be given a few games, he played well in league cup and did not deserve to be dropped, flavs is a great shot stopper but lacks height, and some of the goals we do concede are down to him being 5'11"

  5. Few points from last nights game

    Bradders and McDonald looked like a decent combo upfront and linked well together in parts. I hope these 2 start against Leeds! Well done for the hatrick Bradders hopefully his confidence should be sky high! For the Che Wilson haters, he was excellent last night. Solid defending and didnt give...

    Our Defending Is Poop- discuss

    SERIOUS POST ALERT I am optimistic about the new season and am especially looking forward to hopefully beating Orient and mounting a decent challenge for promotion. Yet it dawned on me this morning that unless we score 3 or 4 goals tomorrow we wont win. Why? Because we are bound to let in 2...

    From todays Echo

    Chris Whelpdale has signed for Posh and Billericay manager Matt Jones has admitted a tinge of disappointment that he chose them over Southend. He said that Blues could have moved in earlier and had the whole deal done and dusted before other clubs got involved, and he doesn't know why that...

    The Luton Game On Saturday

    Yet again we concede three goals, and at home! Simply not good enough if you ask me. When was the last good match at home? Luton were already down and from the off you could tell they wanted it more than us. Compare Kevin Blackwell to Tilly. Blackwell on his feet encouraging his players...

  9. Am I right or wrong in saying..................

    That we are the only team to play Man U this season and not concede a goal. I heard Terry Christen mention it on ether Talk Sport or Five Live. I think he said that after Portsmouth beat Man U that made it only 6 teams to do it this season in all competitions. He did also say that everyone...

    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...

    BRAVE BLUES BUCKLE AS CUP RUN ENDS Southend’s wonderful Carling Cup adventure ended at White Hart Lane tonight, but they can be immensely proud of the performance they put in against the Premierships in-form team. Tottenham had won their previous 10 home games and had dented Manchester...

    Resolve

    On football 365 stats, there is an interesting little stat called 'resolve' that revolves around the ability of a team to get themselves back in to a game or hold on to a lead in a game. I noticed last season and the season before that even when we were doing really well, we were one of...

  15. So are our players good enough then?

    Some on here have been saying our players are simply not good enough for this league. Others have said we do have the talent in the squad. we have just been unlucky. Our team have just beat some of the best players in the world. Even independent observers seem to acknowledge this was no fluke...
  16. Colchester and proud!

    This board looks a lot happier!

    Congratulations guys, what a great result, only teams like ours can concede goals galore, and then keep a clean sheet against a top prem club This should do wonders for your team spirit, I just hope its not too high in 3 weeks time

    Absolutely disgraceful

    I have managed to somehow refrain from posting hours after the final whistle in previous weeks, purely because I felt the need to try and sit back and evaluate what I had just witnessed before saying things which werent necessary, but no more. What I witnessed this afternoon was one of the most...

  20. Goals from Midfield

    Just an aside to the defensive problems which conceding 3 goals a game means you wont win anything is that we need to also start getting more goals from midfield. Currently after 11 LEAGUE games just one scored V Norwich by Gower. Players like Maher, Gutts and Hunt are only going to get you 1 or...
