After reading on this site since the start of the season, I know that I am not the only one to be annoyed witht the way some people have just jumped on the players backs, when we are in the Championship for god sake, so here are my thoughts on the season so far, what do you all think?
Positives
1. Home Record: played 2, won 2
To survive this year, we need to make Roots Hall a fortress, and so far a 100% record looks very nice! Have looked good at home, and if we can keep that up, we will do well.
2. We are not in the relegation zone:
Yes some results have been disappointing, but we have not slipped into the bottom three, and lets all face it, if we finish in the position we are now, we will all be very happy.
3. New signings:
Steven Hammell - As has been mentioned on here today, what a star, looks very good at left back, really helps his winger out, great user of the ball, looks very solid, and has settled in very well.
Simon Francis - Has had a few "moment", but on the whole has looked good, was exceptional at Palace, and if he can get himself to that standard every week, then we will have 2 full backs who are going to cause problems.
Steve Collis - Looked good when called upon.
4. Mark Gower:
Has been said on here, so I wont go into it, new man, shame about teh injury!
5. We are doing better than Col******r:
Enough said!!
Negatives
1. We have not got anything out of a game in which we have gone behind:
This is my major concern. How ever much we have thrown the kitchen sink at the opposition, we cant score when behind, need to be mproved.
2. Set plays:
Real shame to see us conceeding a lot from corners again, need to iron out that crease, but that should come as we all settle down as a team again.
3. The fans:
I am sorry to say this, but our side is now in the Championship, and too many fans are getting on our players backs far too easier, this is going to be a very hard year, we need to get behind the players!! Most people on here have been fine, hence why I am putting this.
All in all we have started OK, we just need to grab a point away from home, to help away nerves, and there is no reason why we cant have a really good season, with a nice couple of cup runs and a mid-table finish!!
Keep up the good work Tilly and Brush!!
C'mon Southend!!
