  1. Season Statistics

    I've always been of the opinion that player statistics aren't worth a great deal; they are dependent on the performance of the team as a whole and, as such, are an nfair indicator of a player. Team statistics though I believe clearly highlight key strengths and weaknesses. Consider then the...

    f***ing Jehovah's witnesses

    Really annoyed at the moment I've not long got up after a late night and am alone at home. I was just having a wash when someone knocked on the door, as I walked down the stairs I saw two big blokes with suitcases, they turned out to be Jehovah's witnesses and they were on a recrutment visit...

    Footballer awarded 1.5 million damages.

    Former West Brom and Man U midfielder Michael Appleton successfully sued a surgeon who admitted doing "unnecessary surgery" on a knee injury. Appleton was injured in training in 2001, the year before WBA won promotion and never fully recovered. It was claimed he could have got more 500,000 a...

    JCR - Guardian Scouting Report

    Steve Claridge does his regular scouting report for The Guardian on JCR today (sorry, can't find a link on line). A well balanced report, recognising strengths and weaknesses, that appreciates how important he is to our current team. JCR's ratings: Pace: 8.5/10 Heading: 6.5/10 Attitude: 8/10...

    For Jonny Stokes

    Jonny, I quite like you on here. You speak a lot of sense sometimes and I think it is healthy to have some "alternative" views from people who aren't particularly fans as it sometimes gets a sense of reality as we are all indanger of being too optimistic/pessimistic (delete...

  14. The League Paper

    Two interesting articles on the Blues today. One is an assessment of the team by Stewart Robson who, surprisingly, makes a number of valid observations on our strengths and weaknesses. The other is Gower's views on the team and the reasons for our success. Worth the £1.20!
  15. Can we do it?

    With ten games to go I have tried to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of Southend’s promotion push. Strengths We are six points clear from second spot and seven clear from third place. In comparison to our closest rivals the Shrimpers have an arguably ‘easier’ run-in. Swansea and Col...

    MISFIRING BLUES CRASH OUT OF CUP Southend's appalling home FA Cup record continued as MK Dons progressed to round 3 at Blues expense. In truth it wasn't a bad performance by the home team and some of the football in the first half and for the period after the equaliser was sublime.  The first...

  20. Jozic

    It's unlike me as I usually see a player's strengths before I see their weaknesses, but I'm struggling to see Jozic as anything other than a new Dave Morley. He's tall and certainly looks the part - but imho, he makes far too many errors for a centre-back. Saturday's game...
