It's bizarre, we have one of the most experienced, successful lower league managers, he has performed absolute miracles in the last two seasons, and the huge disrespect and (IMHO) ignorant criticism he gets is just astonishing. OBD says, put a sack of **** in the centre circle with the badge on and he would support it - great quote. How much more then should we be getting completely behind our manager this season? The tiniest thing could make a difference - stop moaning and start supporting.

Yep, question nothing and we can all follow the pied piper off the pier.....

PS is a good manager, I just feel he's often slow on the uptake.....Misses tricks.
 
Ummm, not really. PS (and anybody else for that matter) is dreaming if he thinks he has a team capable of challenging promotion this year.....

Of course my comments were a bit tongue in cheek regarding my examples to make a point.....

Tongue in cheek from a shrimperzone poster?
Never.

I believe we only had 18 ish players when we had a real successful season under Tilson. A small squad is not necessarily a bad thing!

With 3-4 loan signings in the next week then we are back to a healthy number, even though I don't think it's that important to have a squad over 20.

Unfortunately, real football isn't like football manager.

Hmmm... left back is a bit dodgy. Replace left back.
Need more cash, okay... Kane Ferdinand off to Peterborough, Ryan Hall off to Forest. Okay. Sorted. 500k. Sweet.
Now extend Timlin's contract. Ooops, typo. Signed Tomlin instead. Ah well, he'll do for now.
Trawl list of players. Sign outstanding new left back based on his stats. Slot into left back. Bonus.
Get new keeper. Done.
Keep squad happy. Tick box. Man I'm good at this. What can go wrong?



Peterborough 4 Southend 0
Southend 0 Accrington 1
Oxford 2 Southend 0
NTFC 3 Southend 3

Oh bugger it, CTRL-ALT-DEL....

:stunned:


And we're off... now that left back...
 
I cant understand peoples issue with Leonard he has given nothing but 100% when fit for us and when he got injured last season we missed him massively. His commitment is second to none, his partnership with Clohessy is far better than what Sean was with Hall.
Leonard has a great throw, can be great getting into position ready for a crack and will give his all out on the pitch.

As for Martin what a ridiculous thing to say has barely been played under Sturrock out of no fault of his own. Martin was our best player at Northampton until going off injured and he will be missed massively against Wycombe if ruled out.

You might aswell not bother going being that critical of players who have barely played and an attitude like that stinks, in rough financial times for the club we should be doing what we can to get behind the team and our new signings.

Goalkeepers Belford and Smith ( no experience what planet are you on CLUELESS)

Right back Mr Consistent and most apps last 2 seasons, the only game he missed was when suspended.

You are an absolute fool you sure you not a Col U fan? Phillips and Cresswell brilliant centre halfs, Harris brings plenty of experience, Benyon and Hurst barely tested and Assombolonga a young lad playing his first professional games!!!!

YOUR AN IDIOT
Agree with that Dan.
 
Sorry, I cant remember a time when I've been so despondent and disappointed about a season......No wingers of any ability or desire to play for us, no strikers of quality or fitness. No midfield dynamos and an average defence.....

I think we're destined for another year in L2.......in 2013...At best....


What midfield Dynamos have we had the last two years?

How is our defence average when its pretty the same as last year but with Cresswell?

We only had one winger last season, we have a number now.

We havent even had Eastwood or Harris play yet.

Thinks arent all rosy, but wow how negative can you be ? Weve only played one game at home so far.

One prescription of prozac required methinks.
 
Dan, you are really funny or stupid, not sure which one.

Fred was clearly mocking Supablues24, and his second post proves that. Even without the second post, everyone knows Fred is a loyal and positive Blues supporter. You're post has really made my day and will go down in the history of Shrimperzone as an EPIC FAIL


misread the post so i apologize
 
I think you maybe quoted the wrong post, it was obvious Fred's was sarcastic response to supablues', however, I do agree with all you've said...well, down to the "you're an idiot" bit!

like ive said to others picking up on my post i apologize i didnt not realise it was a response and misread it completely
 
Agree with that Dan.

i apologize i didnt realise your post was in response to a post previously. I was just getting fed up with all the negativity to some of our current squad and PS yesterday.

I just feel in our dire financial situation we should all be backing the side PS hands are tied
 
For me, its the equivalent of visiting your Dad on a life support machine...Upsetting.

What a utterly stupid idiotic thing to say. Anyone who takes it that seriously needs a long hard in the mirror and six months away from football.

My sister-in-law believes that my wife is a Saint to put up with me.
Don't know whether anyone one picked up on CP's tweets last night when he defended PS from a critic (a new poster on SZ), stating
Chris Phillips ‏@CJPhillips1982 @JamieManktelow ok, entitled to you opinion just feel if you knew what he was having to put up with you might think differently.
Reading between the lines Luggy is next in line for béatification...................after my wife! :winking:
