    Nile ranger

    I don't get the love affair with ranger. He has far too many off days and we tend to go long when he is in the side. I'm much more a fan of fortune who appears more skilled and offers more to the side and cox. I know ranger signed a long deal but I'd be disappointed to lose fortune tbh.
  4. Has Fortune been binned ?

    Before I start I admit I'm still stunned by the length of deal Marc recieved. Marc had his handy purple patch scoring 4 times in 7 games recently....since then he has become a bit part player and now considered inferior to Nouble....bizarre stuff from those in power at the club. I don't give...

    Next season

    With us now out of the play-offs and yesterday showing how shallow our squad is, it got me thinking as to where we could end up next season if we don't make the play-offs this year. We've got quite a few players out of contract, a few who are getting older and some who might be angling for a...

    Question Striker options on bench

    I wonder why recently (at a crucial/critical stage of the season) Frank Nouble has been the option coming off the bench instead of say Fortune, baffled.

    April 2016 v April 2017

    So, here it is - the final month of football (unless we get to the play-offs that is). What a journey from that first match at home to Gills and McLaughlin's scuffed goal. As usual it has been a roller coaster:- signing crocked players like Fortune, injury prone druggies like Ranger, relegation...

    Zone Update The Cox-o-meter

    Keen followers of the 'zone will know that me and my mate 'Ironside' had a little wager on Coxy reaching 30 goals/assists for the season. A bottle of 'Veuve Clicquot' was on the table and so confident was he, that he ordered a box of champagne flutes to celebrate his inevitable win. However, I...

    Breaking News Frank Nouble signs until the end of the season

    According to the Echo. Thoughts? Slightly disappointed, alright as a squad option but doubt he'll be forcing Fortune or Cox out of the team.

  15. Did Fortune also score his 100th career goal on Saturday?

    Was looking at the Wikipedia entries for Cox & Fortune. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Cox_(footballer,_born_1987) Including his 4 goals for Ireland, Cox's goal on Saturday appears to have been his 104th career goal. Add up the stats at the bottom of his Wiki page (do it manually, don't...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 2-1 Rochdale

    Brilliant ending on a very frustrating afternoon. Both teams had slow starts but we grew into it and had quite a few chances. Should have been out of sight by half-time and as has become normal we let it go a bit second half. We looked tired later on and think their three changes against our...

Timlin took a nasty wack also and was hobbling around...
