SoL Sports Special, Live from Park Lane.

[Streaky]

Most friendlies are about the "smaller teams" earning little bit of money, so why are we playing on a friday night - Sure the Islanders would have got a few more £'s if played tomorrow??

I would have gone..

 

[Jay_Shrimper]

As for OJI he may be faster than JCR but had a pretty good game for his first Shrimper outing.

Do you know if he won many tackles etc?

Thanks for the updates, very much appreciated! :D

 

[southend_united_fan]

agree with above- thank you very much for your excellent reporting system - extreemly appreciated....thanks

 

[Davros]

great reporting, love it!

 

[duncan bulgaria]

Great result, great reporting , sounds like we mean business this season , bring it on :)

 

[RobM]

Oji looks worth another look, a bit pacey and as was said before, keeps it simple.

No sign of Sultan Lipstick tonight that I saw.


Moussa looked very good to me, neat goal.

 

[EastStandBlue]

No sign of Sultan Lipstick tonight that I saw.

He's sorting out a contractual situation in Hungary.


Barrett, Clarke, Zultan and Oji would be more than good enough for this level...

 

[Andy_S]

Oji looks worth a punt and, bar one calamity of crashing into Che, looks to have settled very quickly. Does the simple things, is not bad with the ball at his feet, very pacey, can mix it and looks to have potential. Built quite sturdy looking as well. The only thing is, from a distance he looks scarily like Hunt, but obviously slightly thicker set and even has some very similar mannerisms.

McCormack showed fantastic determination for the whole 90.

Ademeno did pretty damn well as a makeshift left back.

Francis' injury didn't look too great.

Black still looks rusty.

Maher played pretty well.

JCR was as electric as ever.

Hoops played well.

Harrold scored again.


A few other tidbits from tonight:

David Lee was there and sitting behind me. Blast from the past eh. Going to Hull wasn't the best decision you'll ever make eh David?

Also sitting by me was Darryl's Mrs. She's even fitter in real life. The git.

There was a young looking guy in full Charlton tracksuit there, which seemed odd. Potential player perhaps?

Last but definitely not least, Hoops has now signed his contract. Hoo freaking rah.

Staunton from Midweek?

 

[The General]

Andy ... he could have been the chap who played at Wakering on Tuesday night. ( the centre half ) - Charlton fella.

Stevie Hammell's missus is also very nice as well. Not sure she is as good as Shorty's missus though. Talking of Shorty ...

Conceding goals record:

Shorty 4 Collis 0.

Read into that what you will readers!

 

[The Watermill Wino]

Just wondering, has collis conceded a goal yet. He didn't when he took over at QPR last year me thinks?

Nope, this guy showed a passing resemblence to Wayne Gray and even had the bling in his ears like him.

Someone said that behind me on the way out. Wasn't you was it!? :p

 

[The General]

It probably was mate. I was pointing it out to my GF who has a slight fancy for Mr Flahavan and i enjoyed rubbing said information in!

:D

Ah, the dislike of Flavs has suddenly been explained. :D :p

 

[The General]

We've been together nigh on 2 years and my dislike started long before that!!

 

[leeblue]

I certainly dont dislike flavs he is still one of the best shot stoppers I ever seen in a southend shirt, but his SHORTcomings were shown up a lot last season.

 

[Andy_S]

We've been together nigh on 2 years and my dislike started long before that!!

When he reclaimed his place in goal meaning Tes was dropped?

 

[Andy_S]

Oh and I forgot to add to my observations, Moussa once again impressed. We could really have a player on our hands here.

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

poor old General. How are you going to cope when Flavs breaks the all time Blues goalkeeping record. :)
