One of my all time favourites.Brian Albeson, there was a good player ( sorry off topic)

@Shrimpergonzo That's a little tricky Brian Albeson died on 15th October 2003 at the age of just 56...Unless we’re resigning him for NEXT SEASON (the title of this thread) then you’re correct!

That was kind of my point!@Shrimpergonzo That's a little tricky Brian Albeson died on 15th October 2003 at the age of just 56...
It's quite simple.
We need to be better defensively and far better offensively.
Much stronger in attack and better in defence.
Hayes isn't good enough. And our front 4 aren't good enough.
Sounds like Gus is off so it would appear that wind would be the option In a 442. Or a 433.
Your math isn't mathing there mateIn the 8 seasons since the NL introduced 6 play-off spots, the odds of getting promoted via a play-off spot workout at:
2nd place = 37.5%
3rd place = 25%
4th place = 12.5%
5th place = 12.5%
6th place = 12.5%
7th place = 0 %
If we get one money-bags club running away with the title each year then we have to be pitching our budget at a 3rd place spot as a minimum. If we finish 3rd three years running we have a 75% chance of getting out of the NL. That's a more financially prudent (if nail-biting) way of getting out of the division than over-stretching ourselves in pursuit of the title.
I didn't want to make the maths too complicated for SZ !Your math isn't mathing there mate
Based on your maths, a 4th consecutive 3rd place finish is 100% chance of promotion
It would statistical work out to be approximately 57.8% chance of promotion, not 75%
Ipswich would bring a fair amount of moolah in wouldn’t it? They’d travel in good numbers.Any news on pre season friendlies? Or is going to be the usual rubbish? Canvey Wakering Billericay Away and Ipswich etc at home! Boring! Need to get some money into the club and pre season friendly should be a way of getting some much needed funds!
No thanks.Ipswich would bring a fair amount of moolah in wouldn’t it? They’d travel in good numbers.
No problem. Have a nice season.No thanks.
If he is this won't age we'llWhere did you hear that Gus is off?
Feel like it’s either a contract extension with a hefty release clause or it is a goodbye
There are rumours of a foreign jaunt. But leaving it late if they want Shrimpers thereAny news on pre season friendlies? Or is going to be the usual rubbish?

....although if I remember correctly, Albeson's goal was a penalty after the Walsall 'keeper kicked Brace in the head while collecting a high cross.@BALDY I'm afraid in his fourth home match Brace only managed one goal in a 2-1 win against Walsall (Albeson got Southend's other goal).

We leave everything late, all other clubs are announcing friendlies if that's here or abroad! Rangers at home for me even if Southend fans don't want to go Rangers will fill the groundThere are rumours of a foreign jaunt. But leaving it late if they want Shrimpers there
Leeds would bring more...We leave everything late, all other clubs are announcing friendlies if that's here or abroad! Rangers at home for me even if Southend fans don't want to go Rangers will fill the ground
