Positivity thread (no moaning allowed)

We are at home, we will have a big crowd, we will put on a superb performance and win 3-0. It will be a day that will go down in Southend United history, we will all have a great afternoon/evening, and we will stay up. What is there not to be positive about?

If you look at the Sunderland fans forum, some are trying to sell their tickets for the Roots Hall game as they think they have blown their chances of automatic promotion. There seems to be a lot of pessimism about from their fans. Interestingly some are saying that the team is too lightweight and lacks some bigger players, sounds familiar? I thought Burton lacked a bit of height and physical presence and that suited us. Our problem is without Humphreys or Hopper we just play balls up to our two up front midgets and the opposing big defenders have an easy afternoon, has happened in so many games this season. It is just possible that the Sunderland lineup may just suit us.There is still hope!

The natural human instinct for survival is much greater than that for success.

REVIVED ! 2020/21 Season, 11 games to go, i'm feeling more positive than that day in May 2019 when we needed to beat Sunderland.
Well we did.
And we can do it again...

I have to say I was confident we’d win that day from the minute I got up and even when they equalised. Now, hmmm .. I’ll save it for another thread. 3 points Sat, whoop whoop ?

Sadly beating Sunderland won't help us much this time....?

Although admiring your positivity, your choice of analogy leaves a bit to be desired.
I am not alone in thinking that by staying up by the skin of our teeth in 2019, we are now paying for it in spades.
In fact there is an argument for suggesting that if we had been relegated after the Sunderland game, events may have taken a very different path and we would not now be facing National League football. But that is another story......

.... of course an alternative corollary of relegation could have been that we would not now be facing National League football because we're already playing it.

Yes, have always thought that different path may not have led us to where we are now on the pitch. We will never know.

And possibly top of it - who knows ?

On a positive note, have a friend who is a Sutton sth and whose late Dad captained them many years ago - will be good to meet up with him to see our teams play each other in League 2.
