Gilbert is a ****. Steady at the back and will offer nothing going forward. You can pass it around nicely and retain possession but offered nothing up front all game.
The lad Grant stood out but without someone to smash the onion bag regularly I think that your season may fail to live up to expectations. Northampton only started playing after conceding which is a worrying tactic but this only happened as Southend allowed it to.
Kind regards.

Spencer needs a run in the team! He can't be wasted any longer! He needs to be put upfront! He would've caused a lot of problems with their **** poor centre backs especially their hero, number 6!
Oh dear, my expectations were that we would be good enough to stay up. Are you a real Grim Reaper!
I generally like Spencer, but he was shockingly poor against luton in midweek, and showed why he hasn't been in the team lately.
Fans never boo a **** player as much as you lot booed Gilbert. He must have something, or you wouldn't be cheesed off he left.[/QUOTN
No issue with his ability as a defender. Steady and unspectacular. Doesn't venture forward but then when you are there to stop the otherteam scoring that is fine. The cheesed off part is in that a player who we effectively rescued from the scrapheap of non conctracted players acted terribly and without any degree of honesty or integrity. Quickly accepted the contract offered him in May and then made excuses, lost his pen, forgot to bring back the papers etc etc etc, started preseason and even gave interview about the forthcoming season. All this when he knew his true intentions.
Blair Sturrock is s**t
We are very close to having a decent team, most would agree that Soares has to be dumped. Bilel will learn and get better, but to get promotion, we need a striker or strikers that can finish off a game when well on top, or get us back in the game when a goal behind. At the moment, we have neither.
Fair enough! Did he score?
If he isn't playing that well then fair enough. But Blair hasn't played that well for the last few games, that isn't necessarily his fault, because the team didn't play to his strengths and he got battered about by the Torquay defenders.
I think it's time for Spencer to be given a chance because I truly believe he will score a fair few.
I wouldn't even replace Blair, I'd play a straight 442 with Blair and Spencer upfront.
We need someone to get behind the oppo's defence, Spencer can do this.

Have to agree, Spencer is the only striker we have capable of getting in behind. Last season when he came in he looked decent and got a few goals at a higher level than this, however he was playing with Vernon and needs to be played in a 4-4-2 with a striker good in the air that he can play off. For me the best candidate is Corr, although it could work with Paterson......
Coughlan should have taken his place to steady the ship.
Coughlan is the slowest man in living history and is very much prone to a foul. I can see him costing us goals and subsequent points if he is a regular in the starting XI
I'd like us to go 4-4-2 for Morecambe and play Corr alongside Paterson. Corr will take the physical battering, hopefully allowing Paterson to find a little space for himself.
