So in general nearly every one agrees it is boring and not enretaining but as long as we are second its ok.
Also every one agrees that if we go up and try to play like this in league one then we have no chance.
Well then I must be the odd one out because I think if some thing is boring and not entertaining then its not worth watching.
I also dont think apart from the top 4 or 5 that league one is very much better standard and believe if we do go up we will continue with this style. Having a go at Martin is stupid but I was happy to boo the team off against Swindon and Bradford, I only wish I could have boo'd louder. Did it help the team? I doubt it but it made me feel a bit better. If you watch the players in the warm up pre game you will see that even Prosser has plenty of skill about him. They just need leading in the right way and we could turn our style around and be an attractive side and YES, still get promoted. I think PS has done a fantastic job from the point from which he started. But if this is how we are going to play then thanks but no thanks.
thanks but no thanks give your season card to some one that wants to go but has no money then.

Tell that to Chesterfield who were easily the best team in our division last season, and are really struggling in division 3 this.

No, I don't find it boring and I don't necessarily agree that we'll have no chance in league one, should we go up. I love watching certain players in our team too...Clohessey, Moshni, Hall, Timlin (oh, how I enjoy watching these two in particular!), Phillips, Grant and I'll add Martin to that list now as well. They're not boring players in a boring team. They're good players in a good team and I am 100% enjoying being a Southend United fan right now!!!

No, If I do that I would have to stay at home and moan at the wife. I agree with you these are good players and hope we may soon use their skills a bit more. Anyway next home game not till 11th Feb (is that right) . seems along way off and I will be there and hope I don't have to boo.
Off subject. But why do players look so good in the warm up. Knocking it to each other from 30 yards to the exact spot, juggling it on their head and generally looking like Brazilians. Then on the pitch they hoof it and look like rabbits caught in headlights.

Yeah I just hate being second and beating most teams that are put in front of us. I mean 8 goals in three games? PFFT how boring!
 
We should shut up about the style of football, we got more goals than most of the side in League 2 and 2nd in the league and need 35 point out of 66 point to play for, to get promotion! Wait till 5.30pm on 5th of May to see where we end up, before some of you have a moan :P

Exactly, winning and games AND playing great football is the holy grail! After the last few years we've had you thought people would have a bit more perspective.

Having a chairman that doesn't take us to the brink and pays the players helps.

You really think we are in a good position ? If things had been handled in a professional manner instead of ****ing off everyone, including HMRC, we could have been a reasonable league 1 side NOT playing hoofball and only beating teams because they are even worse than us !

This has been done to death over the last year and a bit, but how could we have done this with no money!!!

No-one went out to purposely **** everyone off, including HMRC

That's an awful lot of ifs, and as my old mum used to say "If, if's and buts were pots and pans tinkers would be out of business". It's pointless dwelling on ifs, that's all in the past.
