    End of Season Report (Slightly early version)

    Just thought I would cast my eye over the playing squad from this year and give my views. Flahaven - An OK season from the wee one, if a little inconsistant. Has made a number of uncharataristic mistakes (Wolves away, Barnsley home, Hull away), however has also put in some blinding...

    Tykes to take a tanking......

    I have just received a sensational exclusive report handed to me from S.A.T.V. towers.It reads as follows........... "Saturday will be dry with sunny spells.Unusually warm for April.Min temp22C-Max temp25C .Forecast for the Southend area." Seems you're getting stuffed this time then...

    Is set to leave southend at the end of the season to play for local side Stambridge Fc after not impressing this year for the blues or whilst out on loan spells.

    Onwards and Upwards

    Bad defending, bad refereeing, whatever you want to blame it on it's so frustrating to score two goals in each of our last two games and only come away with one point. Our back four has been unsettled due to form, injury and suspension and as a result we've leaked soft goals pretty much all...

    TERRAS WANT WEBB BACK 02/03/2007 Jason Tindall, player-manager of Nationwide Conference National club Weymouth, is hoping to bring striker Daniel Webb back to the Wessex Stadium on loan. The 23-year-old was released by the Terras in December 2005 and has been plying his trade at Coca-Cola...

    Two days left and we need a striker.

    Having freed up the wage bill with the departure of Coley and the ungrateful one Jay Smith and having made a reported £500,000 from the Spurs game I really feel we need o go hell for leather and get a striker. I really think we can say up this season - but I really also think we need a decent...
  8. Just got back....

    In one word, scrappy. Too many times we gave the ball away with sloppy passes or hopeful hoofs upfield. However when we managed to retain possesion we looked very capable of doing something with it. Great 2nd half display lots of grit and determination. I will leave a proper match report to the...

    So... can we actually do this?

    Dead and buried by Wolves last week, we raise ourselves to play the in-form Southampton. One exceptional performance later and many of us start to question the fast-gathering-pace belief that relegation for our beloved team is nothing short of a certainty. So, can we do it? Well, of course we...

    Away from home

    At the moment I am trying not to look at the table in a vain effort to convince myself that its too early to get a true impression of the table. However in fit of madness I looked and it really hit home to me where our problems lie. 3 goals in total from 8 away games is shocking really. Not...

    Lee Nogan, who had two spells on loan at Roots Hall, has become manager at Whitby Town of the Unibond League Premier Division.

    Silly Season Suggestion...

    As Shevver moves in, surely Carlton Cole who's already way down the pecking order and barely playing will move on now. Hardly proved his worth in Prem loan spells so seems to me more likely to be Championship bound. To be fair, the brief millisecond where I imagined him up front with Freddy...

    Next Season

    I think this article on the BBC website show how hard a job we have on our hands next season:- BBC This is the paragraph that really spells it out:- Revenue generated by clubs in the Championship - the second tier league in England - of £306m reaffirms it as Europe's sixth biggest league...

    Daryl Murphy

    Apparently just signed for Sheffield Wednesday from Sunderland on loan. The Sunderland Website says he had " spells with Southend United and Luton before returning to Ireland to his hometown club Waterford in 2002", but I can't remember him at all. Was he on trial? Any ideas?

    "Col******r are giving a trial to experienced striker Alun Armstrong. The 30-year-old is a free agent after being released by Darlington at the end of last season, so is not subject to the transfer window's restrictions. Armstrong has made over 300 League appearances in spells with...

    Manure hit by pranksters again

    From the BBC. And for those who couldn't work out what they'd spelt:
  20. Beckett

    He's actually younger than I thought, he's not 29 until November yet it seems he's been around for a very long time. He was if I remember correctly Dudfield's strike partner during Chesterfield's promotion season in 2000/1 (he got their 2 goals at Roots Hall during our 3-2 win that season)...
