Breaking News Tom Hopper Signs

"When the Tom Tom Hopper goes hop hop hopping along"

Ralph isn't bad in the air either. Despite being a short arse.

I would say Ralph is the best in the air at the club. He was outjumping Charlton's Leaburn in the cup game despite being about 6 inches shorter.

Gus is also excellent in the air and is shorter than Ralph I think.

We have a decent aerial threat now - all we have to do now is try and win the ball by attacking it!

And getting the ball over the first man from corners.

And getting the ball over the first man from corners.

This is arguably the biggest frustration of mine. It's gone on far too long and it's unacceptable imo. The set pieces have been atrocious for years and we never look threatening. Let's hope Coker starts taking the majority of them now. Bridgey needs to be close-lined if he goes near the ball when a set piece has been awarded.

Blimey 18months with a crocked knee, we never learn!!!

Well you certainly don’t learn (or probably even read). He’s been fit and playing a decent amount of games in League 2 for a couple of seasons

Not seen Ralph but would be staggered if Goodliffe isn’t in your top 2 for heading abilities now (both attacking and defensively)

Excellent news. Another one where SUEPA waived any fee.

I've been saying this since last season. I don't know why Bridgey struggles to beat the first man so much on crosses. Crossing a ball is an easy thing to improve if you put the hours in. Coker finds it much easier, and is more of a natural.

Does this reduce the count by 1 now he is technically now longer an ex player

No. He was once an ex player so qualifies on that basis - we've had a few of these already, Dackers being the latest.

 

[Angell Delight]

Fantastic news. We have finally replaced Pepple

Decent enough signing but he’s no Pepple replacement. It would take something special to find another striker with his attributes at this level.

 

[stewart]

I myself still hope we havent given up on Ogunleye , the lad is a natural goal sneek ,being able to be in the right place at the right time ,and in all honesty we are a better fit for him than Halifax.

 

[Evening Echo]

SOUTHEND United boss Kevin Maher thought Tom Hopper showed what he will bring to the Shrimpers on his return to action at Roots Hall tonight.
