    Attacking Balance.

    I don't want to turn this thread into one where certain players (Harrold and Hunt seem to be the faviourites for this at the moment) but something that struck me on saturday was how unbalanced our attacking play was. By this I mean it all came down our left-hand side. Gower and Hammell were...
  2. Forest press

    HUNGRY TO PLAY ...AND WIN! 09:00 - 06 November 2007 Forest's promotion push will be fuelled by the squad's fierce appetite for success. That was the message today from skipper Ian Breckin, who admitted that in the past there were a few Reds players who were happy just to collect their pay...

    The fbm report - Carlisle

    SOUTHEND CRUMBLE TO THE CUMBRIANS For the first time since the home game against Colchester on April 6th, Southend failed to score in a game (including pre season friendlies) as they went down 1-0 at home to Carlisle. Blues missed the opportunity to go top of the table in a keenly contested...

    The fbm view and ratings - Tranmere

    TRANMERE GO TOP AS SOUTHEND SLIP TO SEVENTH Southend's unbeaten 5 match run came to an end this afternoon as the visitors from the Wirral deservedly ran out winners at The Hall. Sometimes, Southend play well and sometimes they don't. However, on some occasions, credit must be given to the...
  6. Clarke Or Richards On Sat??

    Peter Clarke Or Gary Richards to start in the center?? I personally would say Richards simply because he is stronger in the air than Peter and looks more comfitable on the ball than Peter.... But you no Tilson will start with Clarke!

  8. Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset

    A New Dawn

    I wake early. The early morning mist of a Summer’s day is readily burnt by the glowing yellow sun rising over south Suffolk’s gently rolling fields. Next doors much despised cockerel, 300 yards away and out of rifle range, announces the event with gusto. I amble downstairs and let out Shrimper...

    Ademano Out For 8 Weeks

    Roots Hall

    I am very much looking forward to the new stadium - I feel it will really push the club on to new levels but I tell you one thing; I ain't half gonna miss Roots Hall! I was sitting at the game last night and thinking about how much I loved the place. I still get that surge of adrenaline every...

    Thoughts on last night

    Just a few of my thoughts on last night as it was the first time I have seen the players this year. Collis - Only made one save, no chance with either goal, good distribution. Hunt / Wilson - Both had good games, defending well, and using the ball intelligently. Hunt linked up well with JCR...

    Please Tilly - Give us a striker.

    Went for a beer with my old man last night after work and we were discussing our current team. We agreed that the midfield looks fantastic on paper and if there is a stronger midfield in this league I would be suprised. Defence I am happy enough with and the addition of Gilbert has been a god...

    The fbm view and ratings - West Ham

    FREDDIE RUNS SHOW AS BLUES SUFFER LOSS Well, here we go again as the first home pre season friendly kicked off against West Ham on Saturday. There was a fair smattering of hammers fans in the crowd which was not the sell out predicted but still around the 9500 mark. Southend lined up as...

    April 29th 06 vs April 29th 07

    ...I really can't believe how fast a year has been and gone! This time last year we was all on a high, revelling in the sweet smell of promotion to the Championship after securing a 2-2 draw at Swansea! What a day that was, absolutely quality, best day of my life (i have to say)! And now, a...

    What on earth do we want?

    It's a tall order now. We MUST win both games and hope Leeds and Hull both collect no more than 1 point each from their last 2 matches. Possible, but unlikely. But apart from a probable relegation, I fear that as fans we are going to make ourselves a laughing stock of the entire football...

    Future of the Youths

    Has anyone listened to the interview on the OS with Ricky Duncan? Sounds like a very promosing future ahead for the youth set up. Topping the table at the moment and as I understand if QPR loose this weekend then the lads win the league. Its been a long long time since the youth team were so...
  19. P.m.a.

    It is difficult for me living so far away to feel that I am involved with the club that I love so much and I sometimes feel detached from sharing and experiencing the joys and the sadness that have been experienced by so many blues fans this season. Of course SZ does help folk like me and other...

    Lets try to look forward - even if we do go down :)

    Well, I was expecting more today. It had been a great day - met Matt the Shrimp at 8:30am in Lewisham for a fry up breakfast at Maggie's in Lewisham (can heartily recommend it, if anyone is in the area). We pored over the Grand National runners and riders - my early tip of Kelami (based on a...
