    A TALE OF TWO ERRORS AS FREDDY EQUALS RECORD Freddy Eastwood equalled the Southend scoring in consecutive matches record by hitting the net for the 7th game running as this league 2 encounter hinged on two errors in the first half at the Hall on this Good Friday. So often form goes out of...

    Shouldn't Tilly Be using Bramble more?

    Thought Bramble has been hard done by! Tilly should have brought him on with the other 2 subs on Friday night! He has fallen well out of favour with Tilly, which i think is bad. Tilly should use him more! Wayne Gray had an absolute stinker against Scunny, and Fredy didn't play...

    It's difficult to know exactly where to start. Was the truly appalling refereeing decision that cost us a clear penalty to blame for us dropping 2 points at the Hall? Or was it Bentleys double miss in the last few minutes followed by Pettefers air shot? Or was it the fact that we were...
  4. Carl Griffiths

    Former O's man and trialist at Roots Hall a couple of summers ago Carl Griffiths opened the scoring in Heybridge Swifts 2-1 win over Dover Athletic. Playing alongside Griffiths was twenty-a-day Scott Forbes, who was subbed late in the game for former Canvey striker Bertie Brayley. WS
  5. Nearly Two Points Dropped

    Failure to convert chances nearly cost us in this play-off challenging game, with the Shrimpers having about 5 real-good opportunities with which to take the lead. Early on it could be seen that Darlo were going to play hoof ball all game, but instead away for the podgy Wingehard as opposed to...

    Well done McScriven

    I see last nights programme had the 'old' statistics back on the inside back cover ( who played where, who was subbed when etc. ). Anything to do with the thread on here some weeks ago? well done Dave and long may it continue

    What a game!

    Fantastic game and a solid performance from every player! Nicky Nicolau definitely my man of the match, but Lewis Hunt was simply outstanding too! Nicolau's best game for the club tonight without a doubt, along with Hunt! Every player can be proud of this game tonight! A...

    I relied on my trusty Sat Nav system to get me to the ground (despite my C********r adventure) and got there at 2:00 having set off from Leigh at 11:30 (petrol stop en route).  Not bad. Having nabbed the parking space next to the away entrance (and reversed in, making for a quick getaway) we...

    I learnt at a very early age that Southend always blow it in front of a big crowd. I had persuaded myself that today would be an exception. Sadly, over 7000 witnessed that fact that it wasn’t. Today, the atmosphere seemed subdued. I said to my mate before kick off that the players needed to...

    Jingle bells jingle bells...

    jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to see Southend win away! Got back from Wycombe about an hour ago. Not a brilliant game to watch, but sometimes you have to win ugly. Last season we would have lost this match because Wycombe put us under a lot of pressure in the second half, but we...

    As I usually try and write my view for people who weren't there, I'm going to change it a bit tonight as I guess most will have seen it.  Anyway, we have the rare option of picking it to pieces and dissecting it via video or SKY plus or whatever, so I figured I would just relay my view of the...

    Eastwood's goals

    This is really gutting. As some of you may know, I've so far managed to be unlucky enough to miss all of Fredy's goals this year and with no sky up here at uni, I've not even seen them on telly. Standing in the ****ing rain at Shrewsbury was paritcularly devastating&#33...

    Saturday August 24 1996 was one of my most depressing days as a Blues supporter since 1969. We were unceremoniously thumped 5-0 at Oxford's Manor Ground in what was one of the most uncommitted and pathetic displays I have ever seen from a Southend team. Fences were still up and I think the...

    Two good sides, a good open game of football, and a welcome 3 points. Southend started the better and a great Pettefer cross found Gray in the area, but his goalbound header deflected off a defender for a corner.  However, shortly afterwards, Northampton got around the back and squared the ball...

    Ratings for today

    The worst home display this season bar Cheltenham, yet we still beat a very good side. Football truly is a 'funny old game' as they say! We didn't pass it well, the defence, especially the full backs were all over the place at times and Pettefer and Hunt (2nd half mainly for...

    Bloody rubbish, these non-league players. They're maybe players... maybe good, maybe not. No guarantee they'll do anything at all... Well, that's the quickest goal I've ever seen. Difficult to describe really... it all happened so quick. I was just aware that we went...

    The home match against Boston last season was the match when I made my “debut” as an official SZ reporter.  We lost that game 2-0 and the atmosphere afterwards resembled that of a funeral. Stark contrast tonight – the game had everything and for once the Blues did NOT let a large crowd – 5688 –...

    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...
  19. Jupp

    Tilly has spoken on Essex fm that the club are going to try and buy a new defender who is well known for experience in the conference and young and will get better as a cb! Also jupp is a muppet on saturday got subbed so stormed down the tunnel without clapping the fans or talking to...
