Who do you think was the best Southend goalie?

[united we stand]

Assuming both posts are serious, I think you need to bear in mind that this is a ShrimperZone poll. Statistical analysis doesn't regularly feature in SZ polls for a reason.........not too many now how to do it!

yes I am being serious, but you have misunderstood me. I stated what was needed , I can see I wasn't clear but I wasn't for one moment suggesting that someone did what I am suggesting, I am simply stating that a straight poll doesn't really work that well and what woulkd be necessary to make a poll meaningfull

as an aside the best SUFC keeper performances I have ever seem was Smith at Brentford, and Mildenhall at Chelsea.

my post was tongue in cheek. I was trying to highlight the thing that is ShrimperZone and it's inability to be meaningful at times. Agree with you on polls, but normally they are kept simple. I also agree with you on Smithy at Brentford. Defending him as a keeper is a battle well lost I fear though

Just goes to show you can prove anything with stats. Mel Capleton is 5th on that list and poor old darth maul couldnt catch a cold let alone a cross

Sammy was the best all-round keeper. Edges out Roycey as he couldn't kick the ball much further than the edge of his area.

Didn't Royce's kicking improve immeasurably during his spell with us? It was a bit frightening to start with.

And no-one's mentioned Cameron Belford, I'd prefer to have him back than Oxley.

Yes, it nearly made the halfway line...

Got an idea he might still be playing somewhere?
Oxley definitely is-extremely well!
