    Eastwood was the missing link...

    I'll keep this short as I know everyone loves Eastwood threads... We miss Freddy more than anyone probably imagined - he was the spark that could make something happen OUTSIDE of the box. Our current crop of strikers cannot do that, hence we are such an easy side to defend against. Harrold and...

    Why do Lesbians use strap ons?

    I was down the pub last night for a few sharp halves after work with Ben. my work mate. Anyway we found a crappy pub called the St Christophers Inn which is basically a student place but its 2 for 1 on Corona so a round comes to £2.80 which is pretty cool.It also full of back packers who stay in...

  3. Champions League Final!

    Spirit of Istanbul? or boring stalemate???? I've put on a couple of cheeky bets... who else has? Gerrard Score First 1-1 @ 55/1 Pirlo to Score and Milan win @ 10/1 Crouch to Score in both halves @ 33/1 terrible odds but thats bluesq for you!

  4. Player Season Ratings

    Just numbers (1-10 with halves allowed), no need to justify them... also try not to turn this into a 'bart vs flavs' or 'tilly should have kept kights' thread... in the end once people have scored the squad then we can see how people rank! also if we try to have 6 as 'average' or 'acceptable'...

  5. Just got back

    Living in Tiverton it was the game I've been looking forward to, only an hour away. Got off to the worst start - Clarkey very guilty of not clearing his lines and we gifted them a goal. For the next half an hour we were more than competitive and thoroughly deserved the equaliser and glad that...

  6. The Big Shrimp

    A Sad RH First??

    Did anybody else notice that the linesmen were on the different halves of the pitch & that the subs warmed up on the South Bank side of the halfway line? Does anybody know why this was (or cares?!) All I know is it was nice to see the subs & give the lino a bit stick for a few dodgy call!!!

    HT - Week 5

      Lost 2-1 at home and I think I got my tactics all wrong. Firstly I played 3 IMs for the first time and I don't care what anyone says two wingers has worked well for me for the last 3 seasons. Secondly I decided to press and found that I dominated midfield in both halves (helped by an...

    Another slant on the defensive problems....

    Having seen the three games this week, and then having read the post match comments on this board regarding the problems we are currently having defensively, I have an alternative view on things. It is patently obvious to everyone we have real problems in our backline, and I think the two main...

    Stoke it up - a match report

    Well what can I say We beat an average/poor Stoke side that we were expected to beat, by a single goal, a penalty at that But there were so many good points Hammell looks a star in the making, a great crosser of the ball, good defender and takes corners. Daryl made some excellent saves...

    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...

    The Goat

    Even today in the reserves he ambled around like an old man. Must be embarrassed to collect his vast salary < compared to Connie and Dudders> for what he has contributed. Also why is Tilly trialling centre halves like the one today that is clearly not fit to lick Andy Edwards boots, no...

    Eagle Departure

    Personally to me it is a strange one. First off we are short of bodies as it is. Efe comes in and does well but now he has gone that still noyl leaves us 3 accomplished centre halves and Hunt,Wilson that might do a job. Secondly it seems weird that we have kept Prior who i think is more...

  14. Blackpool

    Quick points: Blackpool fans were great, had a good chat with some of them before and after the game. They are being screwed by Oyston who won't sell up to a consortium with cash to spend. Blackpool is a dirty, rusty, peeling, faded craphole of a town it makes Southend look prosperous and...

    Today's Game

    Arrived back from Blackpool about an hour ago and still buzzing after Eastwood's last ditch winner!   The game was a tale of two halves to be honest.  We totally dominated the 1st half and the game should have been over at half time.  Once we got the ball on the deck and started to pass it we...

    Hattrick this week

    It should have all been so glorious. It was to be the game where I finally break out of mid table mediocrity and go and join the top 4 to compete for promotion. Spent a long time looking at their team and likely formation and worked out which players had to be defensive or offensive, which...

    On the rampage - match report

    A game of two halves. Dodgy first half, too much hoofing it out of defence and hoping that Gray or Goater would get on the end of it. Nathan Jones got a nice reception, his constant back chat to the ref earned him the crowds ire. A dodgy reffing decision lead to a free kick, which unfortunately...

  18. Thoughts on today

    Well to be honest I really wasn't expecting too much today so the result wasn't a surprise.   Well where to start?  I saw this as a game of two halves.  I thought we were shocking in the first half and the only two players to go in at half time deserving any credit where, in my opinion, Mark...

    Firstly I would like to congratulate the 300-400 fans that travelled to the game yesterday like myself for managing to bear the arctic conditions. We had no protection from the wind and rain - the game seemed to last for 3 hours!! Just read the inane comments from many supporters who...
