League two-Half term report Blogger's diary

[Tangled up in Blue]

<Southend United
How's it going? Two weeks ago, all was rosy at Southend United. The Shrimpers were top of League Two, unbeaten in 17 matches and still in both the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and the FA Cup. Fans were dreaming of a Wembley final and, after a favourable FA Cup draw, a trip to Anfield. Two league defeats and two cup exits later, Southend and their supporters have returned to a comfortingly familiar feeling of disappointment. However, 42 points after 21 matches and second position in the league table has exceeded all expectations so far, and promotion is still very much an attainable possibility as the club heads into 2012.
Who's been the star? Ryan Hall. With nine league assists and five league goals, he is hugely important to Southend's attacking potency and must remain at the club for any chances of promotion this season.
Biggest disappointment? The JPT area semi-final defeat to Swindon &#8211; it ended the unbeaten run and Southend seem destined never to play at Wembley.

Bah, that writer saves his best work for more august public fora than the Grauniad.

He's also more of a Southern than a Northern star

Thanks very much all.

And my blog (which I sadly haven't had the time to write this season) is called Another Northern Sky, named after the first line of Alison Moyet's 'Blue'.
