Official Match Thread (Full-Time) Needham Market 0-5 Southend XI

[Yorkshire Blue]

Chris has corrected himself. George Smith isn't playing, he's been replaced by a trialist called "Risser". No ideas...

Namibian international.

He's just scored to put us 1-0 up.

Cue knee-jerks.

Risser 1-0

Updated again:

It's Wilko Risser, who is a Namibian Internation. His brother is the new Swindon Captain.

EDIT - I'd have got there first had he of not scored!

Blues 1-0 up, Wilko Risser (trialest striker) hasn't his a Risser just joined Swindon Town and become captain.. brother maybe?

 

[Shrimper]

Sounds good so far.

 

[Streaky]

Namibian international.

Cue knee-jerks.

Sign him up, the new Freddy Eastwood

Yeah can't say I'm too enamoured with that one, he may prove us wrong though. One thing I will say for Sturrock though is that once again he has proved that when he says something needs sorting he gets on with it. He said after Ipswich that he realised we were conceding from down our left side and low and behold tonight we have a LB on trial. I like the fact we have a pro-active manager (and no before anyone says it that is NOT a dig at Tilson in any way shape or form!).

Don't mean to pick holes but surely he is a reactive manager rather then pro-active as he is reacting to the fact we let in goals down the left. However I have to agree glad he isn't just plodding along and is at least trying to do something.

Here's a blog from an AFC Wimbledon fan about Blackman.

I'd be absolutely staggered if we took a punt on him.

Team for non tweeters:

Bentley

Leonard
Coughlan
Prosser
Blackman

James-Lewis
Woodyard
Sawyer

Crawford
Pericard
Smith

Pato must be on the bench then....... And no Kalala?

I follow tweets from the outside. CP's last tweet was three hours ago, perhaps he's had problems with his sat-nav? ended up at Billingsgate Market? Are there any other tweeters giving news?

Nope, just Chris at the moment.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? :hilarious:

Pericard, all alone, mis controls the ball and lets it run off the pitch. Not a great start for him.

Will do..........has done..............works!! thanks for that. Sat nav reminds me.............
:off topic: A few years ago my wife left with a group of French kids on a coach to do an exchange in England. They drove to their first stop, to pass a day in Oxford. Following that they headed for their first night at Stratford-upon-avon. It wasn't till they got to the M25 that the French driver could be persuaded to believe he had put the wrong info in the Sat-Nav and that they weren't heading towards Warwickshire!

Wilko Risser is a strange one.

I like the £100,000 price tag! Strange, he was with Schalke 04 until 2008 and then............................nothing????

34 mins Needham 0, Blues 2 - Crawford slots away penalty. Risser was brought down for the penalty.

I laughed when I saw that too.

Been brought down for a penalty which Crawford has slotted away. Should we expect a 30 page thread after the echo posts 'Risser Keen on Blues move' tomorrow?

 

[baddowblue]

Any update on the match????

 

[Mighty Shrimper]

Any update on the match????

Are you joking?

 

[jarvisyeh]

Any update on the match????

And how Pericard, Risser and Blackman are doing?

We could well put some ex NOTW reporters on the case of what he's been doing for the last three years........training for his big opportunity at Needham Market?

This Risser fella has been playing in the German 4th division and has played in a total of 169 matches, scoring 34 times. 79 of those appearances were from the bench. Now I don't know the standard of the German 4th tier but at least I guess he would be cheap!
