  2. Breaking News Christian Dailly out for 6 weeks

    Broken toe apparently. Well it looks like Luggy is running out of defensive midfielders now. We might get that attacking midfield we're all asking for as he'll have no choice soon.

    Dickinson's Role

    CP said something on the radio yesterday, he said that Dickinson is one of our most inconsistent players, on his day he can be brilliant, but on the other days he won't win anything all game, there is no middle ground with him. I agree with this 100%, I also think the people defending him when...

  5. Have we kicked Hoofball into touch?

    Many fans have said that the second half against Northampton was the best half they had ever seen Southend play. It was absolutely exhilarating attacking wise. Hoofball was out as they passed with ease, speed and accuracy from the back to the front which always seemed to end with a shot or a...

    Sawyer's attacking threat

    Why is he not being played much? Surely we could've done with his attacking threat yesterday at half-time instead of Kalala? Saying that though, I'm now expecting him to start on Tuesday.

    Signings that got you excited but sadly failed to deliver.

    I personally am at fever pitch for the new season. The signings of Harris and Johnson(and to a lesser degree the Palace chap) have really got me going. However I cant help but think that not all these wonder signings actually turn out good. I am looking for a list of players that really got us...

    After my foray in the cup has ended, it may be time for me to sell up and rebuild. I've an ageing side and struggling to meet wages. When are prices highest? I'm thinking of selling the likes of Raisani, who won't fetch much anyway, soon and then the most valuable players at the beginning of...

    So what does Harris offer?

    I'm as delighted as anyone at signing Neil Harris but my feeling is based on reputation alone as I've either not seen him play or, if I have, I've got no recollection of it. For those that have, what's his game about? Is it just an eye for goal or will he give us something else in our...

    Best Attacking Headers of the ball ever to play for SUFC

    About the same time last year, I started a Battrick team and then forgot about it. Hope to not do the same thing again.

  16. Mohsni's spell as a striker...

    I'm going to credit Sturrock with some serious balls in giving Mohsni a run as a striker. I was thinking back to when I first saw him, at Bradford away, he was positionally naive but defended well. The main disappointment was that when attacking corners/free kicks he got into good positions but...
