I personally respect the appearances of Sturrock/Coughlan or whoever this Cluneimore character was during the course of the season, however what I would say is that the appearances only seemed to be aimed at fans who were moaning whilst the team was winning.
When things started to go wrong, Cluneimore went hiding. It is easy to pick at fans when it is going well or accuse the home fans of being negative and quiet at Roots Hall but realistically, do you blame them watching the football we have produced alongside the poor results in 2012.
True, many of us could handle the terrible excuse for football whilst we was winning, but it's not fair to expect people to turn up to watch this awful style of football when we are displaying relegation form. Even more so when you have a squad boasting such attacking riches of Eastwood, Harris, Hall, Martin, Dickinson, Mohsni, Benyon etc
Cluneimore and Sturrock justified this 'hoofball' or 'Direct' style of football by backing it up with stats. Yes, we were in the top two, yes we were top scorers, we had the most shots, most corners etc etc But since then, what has happened? If you use the same stats, we have lost the plot. Aldershot away for example, we didn't have a shot on target all night.
So I ask, what has gone wrong? Why did the club make all those signings in January and hardly play any of the players regularly? How will we stop the play off's from being anything other than a two legged loss? And most importantly, we have all heard how the club 'had to' get promotion and how we 'really went for it' with our signings. Have we gone beyond our budget to acheive promotion this year?
I am worried, frustrated and annoyed...please can you give us your views as to where it has all gone wrong? It can't be the fact that Tara Brady left......or can it??
Your response would be appreciated
P.S This is not a witch hunt, I like every other Southend fan wants success for our club.
