It was Bradford City away.

I thought it was Bradford.

It was Bradford City away.

Yep, my bad.

Rochdale was the first game after the JPT Final, but I'd forgotten PB had a couple of games before that.

 

[5scoops]

Yes yes yes yes !
Iam happy man ,guess what iam coming back to games get in Mr Martin.
Good clear out !Horton was to blame but Graham I feel for but bring in Cowley brothers or wiggle it just little bit

 

[rootshall rambler]

Don’t hold your breath mate......the “ mouthpiece” is not known for being wrong on any subject relating to SUFC !!!!!

 

[mattitouk]

That deserves a thread of itself in the current climate...

Talking of the history.... & the results of our clubs managers first ever league games in charge... I've got Phil Browns and Sturrocks, but don't know Tilson's (and do we include it as a caretaker-manager or just as official manager?)


Phil Brown = Draw V Bradford City

Sturrock = Draw V Stockport County

 

[AndyT]

Think that Bradford City game was a draw, Matti.

By my reckoning and by coincidence, Tilly's first match was a 4-0 win at home to Rochdale!

Your right, I stand corrected. Amended.

To make you all feel old. I was 3 when Powell played his last game for Southend. So, the "wiggle" thing has completely passed me by.

What is it? :smile:

We used to sing "wiggle it, just a little bit" to him which was from a song at the time.

 

[blueveined]

So that's what Tilly was doing at Northampton.

Spying for Powelly!

No wonder he didn't get Directors Box tickets!

And apparently asking fans their opinions on which players they'd keep and which they'd get rid of!! :smile:

 

[mattitouk]

That game for Alan little against the orient was a cracker. Remember them completely under estimating how many blues would travel. Chaos outside as they locked the away end and then had to let several hundred away fans and move disgruntled home fans.

2 goals from Neil Campbell won it for Blues iirc

 

[AndyT]

Yep, I was at the game.

It was chaos outside the ground!

Wasn’t the only time this happened. IIRC the game a couple of years later when Ben Abbey scored twice had Southend fans on the terrace at one end once the normal away section was sold out. We must have had best part of 3000 there that day

 

[rowe23]

And Chris Powell and Alex Dyer watching from the directors box .

wont be Alex Dyer he has only recently joined Steve Clarke at Killie as assistant.

 

[ms brush]

Thinking about it, it makes complete sense to make the change now, before any new players are signed. That way, the new manager will have a chance to agree /approve of PB the new signings.

If it takes a couple of weeks for Ron to sort out the terms of Phils departure, it is probably going to be cheaper to keep paying PB until the end of the season and bring in the new management team, rather than running the risk of relegation, It would be much more costly long term.

Despite what we might think privately, Ron has proved his loyalty to managers, so this won't have been done lightly. I fully expect that whoever is joining us in the newly vacated managers post has been in discussions for a little while, which again means that Phil is likely to have been aware he was on his way out and his recent 'I am not worried about my job ' mutterings are based in fact insofar as his fate was likely already sealed!

 

[united we stand]

Assuming Powell is the man. And assuming he was approached some time ago, I wonder if he wanted ranger out as part of the deal? I’m probably going 2+2=5
