  1. Tilly and Brush the master tacticians

    Yes, we rode our luck today at Chelsea, but of course we would always have to, as we did against Man Utd. But can anyone who says Tilly (and Brush) are rubbish at tactics, please give your views on today's game and give credit where it's clearly due. No one will agree with every tactical...

    All time greatest results?

    When , by around Weds 7th Jan, all the excitement and amazement of the 1-1 at Chelsea has subsided a tad, think on this:...Was this our greatest ever result? The obvious comparison will be against Man Utd at home, but I'll say todays outcome was superior because: Chelsea's home form is so very...

    Interview with an Exile - Part 11: The tables have turned!

    Hi folks, This will be the final Interview with an Exile for Series 1, and I thought I would give some of the people I have cheekily edited on here over the past few months the opportunity to get their own back. So in the series finale, I am answering the questions! Would like to thank...

    Question Target men?

    I love a target man and if I ran a team, I'd always have a big 6ft'er in the attack. Made me wonder why target men dont do well for Southend under Tilly (and no, this isnt another 'Tilly Out' thread!). Paynter, Harrold, Revel, Furlong... I know by their very nature, target men dont get...
  5. Virgin preview of Chelski game

    http://www.football.virginmedia.com/page/Football/Headlines/0,,12555~1504756,00.html Couple of interviews with Tilly and Barrett (on the cr@pper!) by Terry Alderton. Both having a little dig at players suddenly coming back from injury! ;)
  6. Tribute to Steve Tilson II

    Would love to ask Mr Coral or Ladbrokes what price they would give between Tilly, Alex Ferguson or Wegner being first manager out. Or out of the top 7 longest serving, I would be willing to make a sizeable wager [if the odds were favourable] that ST will not be first to go. Since our polls...

    Tilly and Brush - going nowhere

    Oh my God - yes it's (yet) another Steve Tilson thread... and I would like to say that in making this I am only too well aware that this is a public forum and everyone is entitled to their opinion. But Christ there is a lot of tripe spouted on here. OK, lets start just by recapping on two...

    Is this Tilson's most important Transfer Window

    I have been thinking, and although play-offs is unrealistic this season, most of us fans would be expecting an improvement in the 2nd half of the season with maybe a top 10 finish. However, I think that one eye should be on building a squad to seriously challenge next season, and I am talking...

    Meistrilliga

    Why doesn't Tilly look at the Estonian league? There's oodles of talent at cut prices. If we had some of the players in that league we would be doing a lot better than now i tell you: Sander Puri Henri Anier Taijo Teniste Aivar Anniste Jurgen Henn Sander Prost Thinon Sihzov

    Is our poor form down to martin or tilly?

    Steve Tilson

    I've just got back home and I am still so angry at today's performance - I've spent a good hour and half discussing the Tilson situation with my mate who, like me, has been going to Southend since the early/mid 80's, so this is not someone who has jumped on the recent bandwagon. I'm amazed to...

    Barrett Back and Francis at Right Mid

    Tilly obviously thinks that Francis sterling performance at CB has allowed him the freedom of right wing. No Milsom in the squad, Moussa back on the bench, Harding in for Herd

    The latest installment of the Interview with an exile thread, is Steve's Christmas Special from Australia - Happy Christmas everyone! Few piccies of the man himself...He loves posing for the camera, bless him :D 1) How long have you been an exile? A) Since late October 2007! Nearly...

    Club to fine Christophe and Laurent

    My 'source' inside fortress Roots Hall now tells me that Christophe and Laurent have fallen foul of Tilly and are set to be fined. Apparently, they both turned up to training without their full kit and as the club shop had sold out of socks during the run up to Christmas, they were unable to...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 9 - Pubey

    This week, Jon (Pubey), from Sheffield takes part in the exile interview. Below is Jon with Stevie Hammell and Mr Alan McCormack: 1) How long have you been an exile? A) I moved to Sheffield in November 2007, and was exiled up in Leicester from 2003-2006 2) Why did you leave Essex? A) I...

    Look at it this way

    Before i start i should say that those in the Chat Room will have seen me state that it was close to ask Tilly to leave but i take it back. Just think of were we would be without Tilly and Brushy. If they hadn't been appointed as manager and assistant manager then i'd be pretty sure that we...

    Defensive problems solved - Mildenhall at CB on Boxing Day

    An 'insider' at the club has revealed that prior to converting to a 'keeper, Mildew played centre back (for many years). At Yeovil he was regarded as a 'utility' player as he had been known to go up front with 10 minutes to go and lend height to the attack. It was one of the reasons Tilly was...

    When are most Shrimperzones going to wake up and smell the coffee

    Before I start this is not an anti Tilly thread, nor a sack the manager / board rant either. What I want to do is to open a discussion regarding the current state of the club and the direction it is going in. I have been supporting the club since 1986, so I am not one of the new fan's that is...
