I do believe you're asking a Southend supporter to be balanced and objective... I mean, come on... like that's ever gonna happen...[b said:

The thing I remember about it most is that the Sunderland fans didn't even realise they'd scored until pretty much when we kicked off after Bridges goal, such was the visibility that night (should've been abandoned IMHO).[b said:

I though it was a clear penalty- didn't Barness do an unnecessary slider like Titus Bramble's shocker last week?

To be perfectly honest I was in the West and could see fcuk-all!!! I didn't even realise he'd GIVEN the penalty the fog was so bad!!
On Bridges goal all I saw was a striped shirt and a blue shirt disappearing into the mist with Roycey advancing to the edge of the box and the next thing I saw was the ball trickling towards the line - nothing else! The Sunderland fans only realised they'd scored when the PA Announcer did his "Goalscorer for Sunderland no.14 Michael Bridges" bit, though quite how he managed to see it was definitely Bridges goal I'll never know

And I'd be closely following you. Jevons is an over-hyped cheat of very limited footballing ability.[b said:

Good I'm glad, although having said that I bet he's still as a possible signing if Freddy goes for megabucks in January or the summer.[b said:

Doesn't fit the bill in terms of "banging in the goals in L1" though does he?[b said:

Stewart/Brooker aren't banging 'em in and are out of our wage range anyway I would think, in Brooker's case City would look for a sizeable fee in any case.
It's Fallon or Cureton and thats a shoe-in - and I hear Fallon is close to agreeing a new long-term contract at the Robins so.....

Personally I'd much prefer Cureton over Fallon. Basically because I still feel we just don't need a 'big man' up front. I thought at the time that Cureton was a very shrewd signing by Parkinson.
They didn't do it so much at the start but for a while now the team seems to think "when in doubt launch it towards Goater". It was noticeable on Tuesday that when Goater was on the defence were chipping it forwards in his direction, but once Gray came on the long balls stopped, with the exception of the through ball. We don't need a target man and we aren't designed for a target man. Freddy certainly doesn't want to spend the game wondering which part of Goater's anatomy the ball will bounce off if he wins it at all.
Oh, and as he's now signed a new deal I'll come out with it. When trying to sign Agogo in the summer the club found out that he was on £5,000 a week. Yes, you read right.

Is his new deal not supposed to double his money?[b said:
How can Rovers afford that?

I believe a good portion of it is being paid by a sponsor.[b said:
