Funny enough I do think there is enough quality in our squad, but perhaps due to injuries, we do require some fresh blood.
A couple of good signings could really turn our season round, particularly a target man type striker.

watching the training down Boots and laces has been shocking, new coaches and drop the long ball, we might be good to go.

We have done it !! Officially the last club to sign anyone. We keep hold of our trophy wooden spoon once again. With Gillingham signing Calum Reilly ( midfielder ) on loan from Bury, all the other 23 have got in there. I see Reilly is coming here from the FROZEN north. to GIllingham, Gillingham !! , Is Gillingham more attractive than Southend Geographically I dont think so. ? I get the costs are higher in the South but dont see it as a major impediment, just take a look at the list of those who have made the move, perhaps they like the weather? Last year Gillingham got another player on a freebIe from the North. He said it was because the club was the FIRST to come in for him and he appreciated it, No Geography, no agent !!
54 signed up already , two more loanees from the Premiership to our opponents and bloomin Peterborough have of course just bought yet another one from league 2 ., aaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhh

Yes we could really do with a few players that can't get in Bury's side and nobody else wants.

Bury? As in the Bury that are one of the only teams even worse than us in the league? If PB had signed him we'd probably have been calling him desperate.
