  1. Mrs Baylock's Poetry Corner - Generally Speaking

    Hello Shrimpers new & old - after the lamentable defeat yesterday it seemed to me that we were lacking that most sturdy & combatable elements of a successful team - Ie a midfield general (& a left back/winger & all action CB). Here is my poetry plea to the all-mighty Ron to sort this out. We...

    Tommy Widdrington

    Before we all get too excited (more stats)

    Our record against top half opposition goes... P4 W0 D0 L4 F5 A11 (eleven!) I've still not quite worked out whether this is against teams currently in the top half or top half at the time but top half now would mean Orient, Leeds, Tranmere and Brighton (just). Rather re-enforces the point...

    Davison v Cudicini: Experience and games (AD) vs. talent on the bench (CC). Will lack of games count against Cudicini? Can AD overcome (and atone for?) his FA Cup howler against Blackburn? Verdict: draw Duguid v Robben: Will Col******r's erstwhile club captain ever face a sterner test...
