Tommy mate.....Like all the other 'Big Clubs' that have struggled to get back into the EFL, until we drop this attitude we will be staying in the NL.

That applies on and off the pitch. You can't pass your way out of the NL and if a team gets a bit physical you can't whinge your way out of the NL.

And the same goes for "proper" football clubs!

Proper football and great entertainment. Wish we showed the same passion through the whole team now and had players of the same standard.
Although I still mostly enjoy going, the skill levels of our players in comparison is dire, but it's national league standard and is what it is.

There's a risk of nostalgia clouding the reality here. Those players won 4 games in the second half of the season. There is more passion in the combined little fingers of Cav Miley and Gus Scott-Morriss than in the whole of Tim Dieng.

I seem to remember our fans giving Theo Robinson a hard time when he was here. He scored relatively few goals for Lincoln in a much worse National League before he joined us.

I mean, obviously, League One is a higher standard than the National League but one thing we can't complain about from the current group of players is commitment.

Yep and the wage bill was highest ever at £6.24m compared with total gate money of £2.2m.

I would argue that some of our players show commitment not all

Your posts seem a bit less chipper and upbeat about the club in recent times ITK. Something happened at the club?

If one still has doubts about the Charlton tie and regrets that we didn't get drawn against a small club, check out last night's FA Cup replays. Boston, Hartlepool and especially Gateshead must have thought that a First Round match was was fairly assured! At least we won't slip on that kind of banana skin.

Good point Yogi. Those are indeed surprising replay results.

Goes to prove that getting rid of replays is an absolute shocker of a decision by the authorities.

Do you remember that game in the mid 90s in the now championship where we went to Charlton on a Tuesday night and dicked them 3-0? Boom boom boom let me hear you say Whelan!!!

I remember this one. Whatever happened to goal cam? Seeing Taylor-Moore there brings back great memories also of him as a player, a person, and as a truly dedicated 100% professional. Gave everything for Southend, even though only on loan.
