    Why is Anthony Grant not...

    firing on all cylinders this season. It seems he has had a major dip in form. It was not that long ago it was suspected that a club from Championship level would soon be coming in for him. In my opinion I think he is not seeing enough of the ball (on the ground) and has found it difficult to...

    Pre-Match Thread Northampton Town Away

    Planning on making the short(ish) trip to this one on Saturday week. Is it usually pay on the day? Can't see any info at all on our OS. Haven't been there since about 1998 - we lost 3-1 and Matt the Shrimp's favourite player Jeroen Boere bagged our goal What a fun trip that was.

    Latest Rumours Transfer window - deadline day - 11pm

    Well here we go with all the latest rumours regarding SUFC and who we will sell/buy/loan during The January Transfer window. Today's first rumour I found is that we will sign striker/winger Craig Westcarr from Chesterfield for a fee. Can't see that myself. Please keep all gossip etc in this...

    Taxing Festive Cheer - a new lowI do hope you all enjoyed the festivities over Christmas. Perhaps, like I, you drank a fine wine with friends, or smoked a cigar with your Cognac to celebrate one of the few remaining holidays the taxman allows us revenue producing drones. No sooner have we put...

    Should Sawyer now be given a chance?

    WIth all thats been going on and being said over the past two days, iw onder if it is time that LS got a decent run in the side. Lets look at the situation sensibly, JJ suspended by club, Mosh likely to follow, Grant, out of form, Kane not much better, neither JPK and that leaves just Hall and...

    Question Grant

    For those that were there last night did anyone else think he looked as if he had no interest in the game and wasn't willing to give any effort to the cause, Im a big fan of his but last night he was cack. Worst I've ever seen him play

    Kalala - please no more

    Yesterday we were poor across the board and I would like to think this post is not a knee jerk reaction but the last month or so Kalala has been truly woeful. Please to god can we have Granty back who can do the defensive roll as well as JP and might actually have an ounce of creativity in his...

    What was Mohsni up to at the end?

    Seemed to be intent on getting up to the north stand to either confront their fans or one of their players - Grant and Blair tried to drag him away but he was quite persistent but eventually changed his mind and came over to the West Stand. Anyone got any ideas who he was after?
  10. Ref Watch ....... Swindon JPT

    Man in charge tonight is James Linington from Newport on the Isle of Wight. He is a highly rated referee in his fourth year having previously been a Select Group Assistant Referee. He has always looked pretty decent when I have seen him referee, but he will show an early card to set the scene...

    Football Manager 2012 - January Ratings for Southend

    Looks like I'll have some higher guidelines to work with when doing the ratings for January due to our position at this stage. I should be able to rate 'key players' (of which there should be five) between 85 and 100 for Current Ability. Over the summer, due to our mid-table finish last...

    Football Manager 2012 - SUFC players out of contract

    Just seeing if anyone else is having the same problem with me when playing as southend. Im top of the league and with 3 months to go before the end of the season a lot of my main players like granty, dicko, JJ , Pablo counuago and hall amongst others, are out of contract at the end of the season...
  13. Watching the blues training

    Hi there On my way to B&Q for 10% Wednesdays, I often glance over to the blues training ground and wonder what the score is regarding watching the blues training. I popped in yesterday and could see some players in the far distance but wasn’t sure if I was allowed to venture on to the pitches...
  14. Anthony Grants Red Card Chat

    Man in charge tomorrow night is Dave Phillips from Chichester in West Sussex, refereeing his seventh Southend match. First was Huddersfield at home three years ago (lost 1-0), second was away ay Yeovil two years ago (lost again, sent off Morrison) and then the same season at home to Swindon...
  15. Slight concern

    Hi Guys. First of all this effort is not designed to provocate nor put anyone down. My concern is there has been no talk of new offers being made for Barker, Mohsni and Grant when there current deals expire at the end of this season. Also the contracts of Hall, Ferdinand amongst others are up...

    Breaking News Luke Daniels and associated Keeper chat

    I'm going for Anthony Grant. He's played in every other position for the club, so this would give him the full set. If you think about it, it makes sense. He's now the second choice midfielder off the bench (although he clearly should be starting ahead of Kalala), he has more experience than...
  17. Pre-Match Thread Crewe Away - Who's going?

    Would be great to see a good turn out from those of you lucky enough to live down in the Holy Land of Essex. Some good away results in the grim north thsi season and hopefully more of the same this Saturday.I couldn't make last season's re-arranged game at Crewe though reports suggested it was a...

    selection headache for crewe ?

    With halls fantastic display last night, mohsni showing composure along with solid defending, great for sturrock to have such depth in his squad, do you think he will tweak things for crewe, I just can not see hall on the bench again tbh, but at whos expense. Grant can stay on the bench for now...

    Official Match Thread Southend V Shrewsbury

    Line-up confirmed on Twitter. No changes to starting XI, Hall and Grant on the bench in place of Prosser and James-Lewis. Harsh on Prosser not being in the squad at all, would have him over Mohsni at the moment.

    Paul Sturrock - a good man.

    An interesting article by Gerard Degroot in the Telegraph yesterday mentions Paul Sturrock: " The football manager Paul Sturrock, a good man, deals every day with young men who take their gifts for granted. They sometimes forget that the ability to kick a ball is not enough by itself to...
