Coaching staff
Just at looking at the senior coaching staff on the club website, we only have PB, GC, and Lee Harrison (goalkeeping coach), plus old man Horton named, but there is no attacking coach? Who assumes these duties, as none of the aforementioned played in an attacking role in their careers, so who...- Floval Flyer

Best 11
It’s Thursday , I’ve got a day off and I’m a bit bored , so this is my pointless thread. Assuming that all our players are fit and in decent form at the same time ( I know it’s all fantasy and I’m laughing ? myself as I’m typing , but please humour me ! ) , what would be your best team and subs...- dannypav

At Training Today.
Not much to report, so this will be brief. An 11 v 11 match, stopped every now and again for instructions from Phil Brown. Stand out performers today for me was McGlashan, best attacking player, Matsuzaka(Although still a bit green), Kyprianou and the star was Anton Ferdinand.

Lenny's role at attacking free kicks
Has anyone else spotted what Lenny does when we have a free kick near the opposition area? We noticed it at Coventry and saw it again yesterday prior to Coxy's goal. Basically, he goes and stands in front of the goal keeper and mirrors their movements - you know, like kids play that game of...- OldBlueLady

Making the most of throw-ins
In common with many other teams we do seem to have difficulty in getting full advantage from the humble throw-in. My case against the long throw is rather weakened by the clumsiness of Charlton's CBs a couple of weeks ago, and I do seem to recall that we scored from one in an away game ?last...- leroyjean

Tickets selling fast for Boxing Day.
East Stand gone already. This could be a great attacking game. Wimbledon have a potent strike force, but let in a fair few as well. Our back four need to be all on their game. http://www.southendunited.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/christmas-fixtures-now-on-sale-3434626.aspx- THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK

At Training Today.
I had to go near the training ground today, so popped in as the time was right. It was 8 versus 8 on a short pitch. Very intense and fast as usual, with some cracking goals scored today.

Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-3 Gillingham v2.0
Well that was a woeful second half. Wasn't there Saturday so won't draw comparisons but there was some atrocious defending on display and some hopeless attacking.

It's time for my reality check
The season to date has been about unexpected highs and predictable lows. We got promoted by taking the last (4th) promotion place, doing so with a fairy tale ending at Wembley. That sort of finish to the season has tended to cloud our reality genes and we therefore believe we can do it again...- RHB

Our local rivals-not a quiz but needing some thought !
I've compiled a team of Blues' players who have also played for both Col.U. and Orient,with 11 players in a very attacking 3-3-4 line-up.There's just one player from back in the 60's but the other 10 are from circa 1990 onwards-all answers welcome!- Zeuss

Weston - what to do?
I said in my earlier match report post that Weston would be the subject of a fair amount of debate and so it is proving. The various comments appear to be reasonably evenly balanced between the good and not so good, and let me say I don't have a problem with Weston's play apart from his...- RHB
