    Midfield

    Look, Don't blame the guys up front. Personally I think the midfield is where we are not good enough. Maher needs support. Gutteridge has not cut the mustard at this level and Hunt is more of a defensive midfielder come sweeper. We need Dennis Wise/ Paul Ince types in the middle but...

  3. Palace 3 - 1 Shrimpers

    This took too long to write. MtS has beaten me to it (and a good report too!), but I may as well post the fruits of my labours. Just got back from Selhurst Park. Here's my two penneth: First Half A great early break really set the tone for the first half, Bradders worked his socks off...
  4. Colchester and proud!

    Best wishes for the new season!

    Just dropped in to say good luck for the new season, lets hope both our clubs do enough to stay up and keep the Essex derby alive and well. I think you boys could well start with a win on Saturday, and in our case tough as it looks, I still think we may scrape a draw or even a break away win...
  5. Goalkeeper debate

    As someone new to Shrimperzone I wonder what everyone thinks of the goalkeeper question. I think Collis has yet to concede a goal in pre-season, whilst Flahavan has yet to keep a clean sheet. I think we should start with the man in form, Collis.

    Random quiz for you

    OK folks, here's a random quiz for you... and no cheating! You're not allowed to look up the answers - instead, see if you can remember off the top of your head, and/or base it on how good or bad you think we've been in the last few years. I'll reveal the answers at 2pm -...
  7. Reaction from Walsall Fans

    To answer the original question, I think I agreed with your managers comments on the match. You couldn't really tell much about either team in the first half, seeing as the wind and rain were in charge of the game. In the scond half, after it brightened up, I thought both teams started well...

  9. Penalty!

    When did we last concede from the old 12-yarder?

    The big difference

    How come we are so far and away a better team than last year? Well, Eastwood and Gray are the obvious choice, but for me it's all about the defence. We have got very mean in the goals against column. last year we had to score pretty much 3 goals in order to win a game. This year we are...

    Cheltenham

    I've just been looking at their squad and they do have seom pretty decent players. We all know about Devaney but JJ Melligan and Jamie Victory are both useful players. Looks like they have a decent team although they are in the position that we have become so accustomed too. Every week...

    Players mental attitude

    On the face of it, things couldn't look much rosier. We went to Bristol, deservedly won 2-1 and Bristol had little to indicate that they would pose any threat at all.  Their main man, Junior Agogo, was more like Junior Agogone as he was completely dominated by Prior. Since then we have all...

    The fbm view and ratings

    There is something about a fixture against Swindon that conjures up special memories for me.  Two of the finest games I have ever seen at the Hall have been against the Robins, a 5-3 victory in the early 80’s and a 3-2  victory in our first season in the old division 2, with Ian Benjamin laying...

    Kidderminster 1 -  3 Southend United

    Come on Southend... Noticeably some great character shining through for the blue boys. To concede in the 79th minute and then reply with 2 to get a 3 -1 win is superb. The team dominated proceedings again today. Ron Martin on the pitch at the end. Seems to me that the squad are really pulling...
  15. Our defence

    Whilst we're flying high and winning games by a large margin we seem to always concede at least 1 goal, and away from home 4 is quite consistent. As individuals our defence seems to be very solid, so does anyone know why we concede so many as to have one of the worst defensive records in the...

    The fbm view and ratings

    Just got back after a superb night out. Missed the first 15 minutes (that's another story) but gather from those around me that it was fairly even.  Colchester seemed a little more on top but Blues were knocking the ball about well.  Then, Wayne Gray laid the ball off well, Gower cut in from...

    Notts County

    Been to the game today, unfortunately I do not get the chance to go to many games as being based in Stockport.  Today's performance was very professional against a very poor Notts County team who struggled to pass the ball to one another. It is quite evident that every single player in the team...
  19. From the East Coast to the East End

    “Oh my god, look Sophie, there is a Southend Supporter, I didn’t think they had any” came a voice sitting next to me in an internet café in Cairns on the East Coast of Australia. I was looking, as I had done daily for the last six months, at the latest transfer goings on via the website. “Yeah...
  20. Use the PA to generate atmosphere...

    The increased use of sound via the PA to create atmosphere would be well worth a go - why not try the following... Opposing team arrive on pitch good play by southend good shot on target play "we will,we will rock you" x 3 Southend doing well - play "aint no stopping us...
