  1. Ref Watch ........ Fleetwood away

    In charge of tomorrow's first ever match with Fleetwood we have the dead hand of dead-eyed Darren Deadman, from Chatteris, Cambridgeshire. He is a civil servant, specifically a public transport officer for Peterborough City Council. In his eigth season as a League referee he has notched up...

    Tomlin :o)

    Hats off to him - he now looks a real threat in front of goal - his second v. Torquay was a bundle of fun - great through ball and a finish best described as "cheeky"! Top Man, Sir!

    Torquay v Southend

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01p2qqf/The_Football_League_Show_2012_2013_18_11_2012/ 1:06.25 Good finishes for the goals. Tomlin's second impressed me. Shaped his body to put it right of the keeper then drifted left, then waited for the defender to commit before cutting back and...

  5. Ref Watch ....... Torquay away

    Southend have only won one out of the last 14 at Torquay and the last win there was just before the turn of the millenium. Man in charge of this tricky looking fixture is Andy Davies from Hampshire, who has only refereed nine and two thirds games so far in this, his first season as a...
  6. Pre-Match Thread Torquay v Southend

    As its only a day away and no thread yet, thought id start one off. Heading down on the coach tomorrow morning. any others going? My guess is the same team as port vale, seem to do well away from home, so 2-0 win for me.

  10. The Everlasting Debate

    I have pestered the wee birdie to allow me to answer the minority who still insist on tarring our manager as a hoofball purist.After watching Northampton who are undefeated having adopted a more direct approach and knowing Fleetwood, Oxford, Bradford, Torquay Rotherham and many more have...

    Opening week ex-Shrimpers in action

    Am sure to have missed loads, so add them in League 2 Jack Midson scored the only goal as AFC Wimbledon beat Chesterfield 1-0 Ryan Clarke kept a clean sheet for Oxford in their 2-0 win against Matt Harrold's Bristol Rovers Adam Barrett was an unused sub for Gillingham Pat Baldwin was part of...
  12. Ref Watch ....... Accrington Stanley home

    A short Refwatch this week as there is little to say about tomorrow's referee. He is Tim Robinson from Bognor Regis and this is his first ever match as a League referee. His previous Southend appointments have all been as an Assistant Referee, the most recent of which was Torquay away last...

    He is on trial at Torquay.
  15. Play-offs rethink?

    Yes like everyone else I'm still feeling deflated after failing to secure promotion after such a promising start to the season and searching for reasons to explain how and why we blew it, but something that crossed my mind before the Crewe games was shouldn't the team finishing in the highest...

    Cheltenham or Torquay

    Have to say I wouldn't fancy Cheltenham @ Wembley. Big pitch. They move around a lot, play a bit, use space well, that sort of thing. Think Wembley would be better suited to their game than ours. If we get there, I'd get Mohsni up front with Harris, stick Martin out wide, and chance the fact...

    Weird atmosphere..naturally.

    Despite all our optimism and a relatively comfy ride for the team - the atmosphere was tense. Even when in the promtion position with 15 minutes to play, it was relatively subdued and nervous. That is how it is when, no matter what our team does, we were all waiting for bad news from Lancashire...

    Playoffs 2011/2012

    Well, here it is then. By all accounts we played reasonably well today without ever being world class. We've probably got the hardest tie being against Crewe, although we have beaten them twice already this season. Here are the fixtures for the playoffs: 1st Leg Crewe v Southend - Saturday...
