    Under-18s vs. Colchester

    The boys from the OS were at the match this afternoon, but I thought I'd post a short report here as the Under-18s moved to the top of the Youth Alliance South-East Conference with a narrow 1-0 win over Colchester United. The Shrimpers' only goal of the game was scored by 17-year-old attacker...

    Matt Harrold - some stats

    I think Matt Harrold was a really good signing. I don't see him as a 90 minute player, nor a regular starter (at least not at this stage of his career), but I think he's an excellent player to be able to bring off the bench, and you need players who can do that. His height and aerial ability...

    Flahavan

    I'm pretty sure against Cardiff, Darryl made his 300th appearance for the club (incl 3 substitute) making Birmingham (should he play the next two) his 300th start for the club. According to Robin's ever-reliable datatbase, he's currently 15th in our all-time appearances and only...

    SUFC v West Brom

    From WestBrom.com WEST BROMWICH ALBION In Goal: Russell Hoult will continue to start in goal for the Baggies, a clean sheet will boost his chances of staying in the Albion goal come January when Mowbray may be looking for a replacement. At the Back: Paul Robinson may return to the starting...
  5. Take on last night...

    I was really, really confident that Barnsley was a place that we could get a result and turn our season around (it certainly should have been).  How wrong I was.  I feel most sorry for the fans who made the journey.  People like me who skived off of my last lesson at school, got out of work in...

    The fbm view and ratings

    AGAINST ALL ODDS Years ago, when Southend were regularly plumbing the depths of the division now known as league 2, I used to get some funny looks when people found out I was a season ticket holder at Roots Hall.  “What on earth for?” they used to quip, “Surely you must play ‘Spot the Crowd’...
  8. Palace 3 - 1 Shrimpers

    This took too long to write. MtS has beaten me to it (and a good report too!), but I may as well post the fruits of my labours. Just got back from Selhurst Park. Here's my two penneth: First Half A great early break really set the tone for the first half, Bradders worked his socks off...

    MK Dons 2 Southend 1

    Massively disappointing today. I'm very much against making sensationalist, doom-and-gloom posts after one defeat - after all, we're still in a very very healthy position at the top of the table - but the performance was worryingly similar to that against Oxford nearly a year ago when we...

    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...

    JEKYLL AND HYDE AT BARNET FAIR Victorian accounts of Barnet Fair deem it to be a "disgrace to civilisation". 90% of attendees came to trade “Horses, Donkeys or Mules” but there were other sideshows, not least the man who ate live rats “as though they were apples”. In such times freakshows at...

    Good write-up in today's Thunderer: Gray's day for Southend By Alex Griffiths Rotherham United 2 Southend United 4 MICK HARFORD FINALLY unlocked the dressing-room door and strode out to pronounce that not one of his Rotherham United team had played well. Had they stayed any longer the...

    Ex Shrimpers in Non League action

    I was at Thurrock Vs Eastleigh to witness a very podgy looking Lee Hodges play, and I use the term play very loosely, for Thurrock in their 3-1 win. He was replaced after an hour. Neville Roach came on with about 20 minutes left for Eastleigh and actually showed sime nice touches in game which...
  14. Know when to hold 'em...

    I have decided that I am never going to play Tilly at poker(hence title) as he must be one hell of a gambler. The smallest squad in the division, only two signings, one of those an untried league debutant and the other an aging star on the decline that has not played since December and was more...

    Fox News perspective - pathetic

    Chester Web Site

    A quote on the game from the official Chester Web Site describing Dudders' goal:- After a solid and much improved performance from Chester, and just when it looked like they would get something out of the game, Southend took the lead in the 88th minute with a tapped in goal from substitute...

    Non playing substitute for Morecambe at Dagenham & Redbridge today.
  20. Rawle, Mooney, Roget

    3 former Shrimpers were on the wrong end of a humiliating 4-0 thrashing yesterday. Mark Rawle in particular suffered a torrid time as a second half substitute! and yes, I got the thread title wrong - I meant Mooney. Typing Judas Rawle's name must have distracted me and I had his...
