A looooooooooong SZ tradition.
Without Bart, polls are pointless. He is a ex GK.
Ahhh I was thinking of the Simpson

Your knowledge of football is amazing, I'm surprised you're not working in the industry, but I can't think it'll be long before a club come knocking!!!
Mooney isn't a target man....Phil signed him......When Mooney and Cox were paired it was obvious it ain't working.
Ranger's fitness is way off the pace to last 90......what happens when he is injured again?....sadly he will be injured because he isn't match fit.
Fortune will be ok for 45 minute cameos as he isn't match fit.
Cox is another one not match fit.
Phil signed them all!
I am thankful the team have collected 7 from 3 and hope it continues for as long as possible.
What is amazing
3 games ago 65% wanted Phil out,now 65% want him to remain.
He also signed Wordsworth , Coker , Atkinson , McLaughlin, Ferdinand ...
You can't even enjoy 7 points in a week . You belittle and moan and talk as though you'd would have taken 9 points this week. I could easily put you on ignore , but I refuse , because I like to read your garbage and I also want to make sure that you continue to stay away from Roots hall.
I don't actually understand why you bother , you are never happy. You like things to go wrong to sit on your self made peddlestall and proclaim how different you would do it and then when it goes right , 7 points from 9, with 2 away games a, 1 being at Bradford , you still moan.
Don't "dear" me your response either ... either respond without being patronising or don't bother , but seriously you have to explain , clearly and concisely what you expect from a team like Southend and how you would get us there , with players that will always play 90 mins , never get injured and are wanted by every other single club in the world , scoring 5 goals a game and never conceding .... , because you appear to have the answers to all of these and yet all you are and continue to be an expert behind a keyboard ( with opinions on players that by your own admission you've eveither seen once / twice or not at all )
We've already played the current top 4 away. Only lost 1 of those games.We are SUFC ,
The club will yo yo from one division to another,we will alway's sell our best players.......I can accept that .
What I cannot accept is drab football month in month out,how many times have you left the ground and thought that was shocking,we ain't playing top teams yet we have played appalling football in the hope of nicking the points.
Fans can vote with their feet or attend,it's their choice,we have fans who attend every game and I applaud them,that is their choice and I would never diss them,likewise if fans stay away I hope the stayawys would be afforded the same feelings as its their choice.
Why are you hellbent on keeping me from RH,you need help chap.
I guarantee that even if we win the league with Brown as our Manager then gain promotion to the Premiership certain fans would still want him out! Sorry Sean you must be gutted tonight I bet you were hovering over that keyboard waiting for us to fail.
Firstly, got to disagree with the people suggesting "he couldn't play 4-4-2 with the personnel he had". Sorry, calling bollocks on that one. Fit the system to the players you have. 2 strikers on the pitch means we should have a better chance of scoring goals. He had 2 strikers, so 4-4-2 was definitely not out of the question. If both strikers are poachers/one of them not a target man, then guess what? You alter how we play. Stop lumping it upfield to a non-existent target man and switch our approach play around. Surely not that difficult?
More importantly - a great 7 points out of 9 and by all accounts a brilliant performance at MK Dons. Not just the results though is it? It's the way they're playing. A load more attacking freedom and verve all of a sudden. Not sure why the sudden change - either a bit of player power; or chairman power (I know RM told Sturrock to get us playing more "entertaining" football so not impossible that he's done similar here); or Phil has had an epiphany/vision during the night which has made him see the error of his ways.
Either way, the new attacking freedom is unshackling players and the team is finally realising its attacking potential - I've wanted to see that for God knows how long. Look what happens when you give Anthony Wordsworth more freedom to get forward and support the attack rather than telling him to sit deep - he scores goals, who would have thought ay? If the results AND performances stay like they were yesterday then he'll have my support for as long. If it goes back to how it was up to and including Chesterfield (which was also a poor performance in my eyes) then he'll lose it again.
As many have said though, 3 games is 3 games. Let's see what the next 3-5 bring. the last 3 games, especially considering the Chesterfield performance was so laboured, does not mean he's definitely turned it around. It takes more than 3 games to undo the appalling job he's done since January. If he turns it around then great.

Sorry if that came over a bit strong. But we are not discussing the MK game. Yesterday's effort was superb, a 3 nil away win is always a great result and well done Phil. Like i say, one or two games wont turn my thoughts around after three wins out of 24 was it? We've suffered some right dross since he's been here. I vow to applaud him when we next get injuries and he is still pulling out wins, promise ;)

So Cox who played 3 games in a week isn't match fit? Interesting.
