The Pitch
I have been a supporter since the early sixties and now live up in Yorkshire. I don't get to home games so don't really know whether our pitch is generally poor for this division or whether it has gone downhill since the groundsman sacking fiasco. A couple of miles from my house are the world...- Tony Allen

The "pitch"
What an absolute joke that pitch is. Worse now than it was before, cutting up all over the place... unlikely we will ever be able to play anything other than hoofball on it... really not helping our cause!- Sufc.2008

2012 - 2013 Season
Besides Wembly lets face it, this season has been a disaster. We have been outplayed football wise for most of the latter part of the season. I am sure there will be a massive clearout of the current playing staff. Remember PB did not get Hull City into the Premiership by playing second...- fontana

Bizarre Team Selection?
Well from 4,500 miles away that seemed a bizarre team selection lacking in any creativity or movement in midfield and until Reeves came on the tactics made Luggy's hoofball look sophisticated. We looked like we had a Pub Player at left back and IMHO should have started with Phillips alongside...- Tampa Blue

Sturrock in denial?
Just read a quote from PS on last nights game: "Fans are singing and dancing because we won but the goal that won us the game was probably what they would call hoofball". Now, don't get me wrong, I can't stand it when i see a player just lump it upfield but like when we went on that 17 match...- FarmdogSUFC

The Supreme Confidence..
Not needing an experienced, first choice keeper ..with just three days until our first competitive match. From hoofball to all-out attack with no keeper required. I think the plan is to beat Posh 9-8.- Kevin Hogg

Dickinson's Role
CP said something on the radio yesterday, he said that Dickinson is one of our most inconsistent players, on his day he can be brilliant, but on the other days he won't win anything all game, there is no middle ground with him.

Style of play in our final 15 games
We have 15 matches to go, and like it or hate it the style of play is not going to change now. Sturrock is going no where, and with Sturrock in charge the style won't change - it's not even worth debating any more, because it will not happen. So whoever you are, whatever you feel about...- bazzashrimper

The continuing hoofball debate

Have we kicked Hoofball into touch?
Many fans have said that the second half against Northampton was the best half they had ever seen Southend play. It was absolutely exhilarating attacking wise.

50 Goals
Mohsni's injury time goal on Saturday was our 50th league goal of the season (makes us the joint 5th highest scorers in the country behind Man City, Man Utd, Sheff Utd and Huddersfield).

Our style vs. hoofball... is there a difference?
I think yes. When I hear the term "hoofball" I am reminded of the very old Wimbledon tactics of lumping it up to Alan Cork, Fashanu or any of the other professional big blokes that the Dons utilised. This style often cut out the midfield and the ball was played long in straight(ish) lines down...- fbm

What's going wrong with Kane and JJ?
Kane Ferdinand is playing nowhere near the standard of last season. I would have expected him to be even better if anything. His mind doesn't seem to be in the right place.
