East Stand looks pretty full

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Great chance for them, break down the right, low cross stabbed wide of the near post

just eaten my tea. currently having a yoghurt.

What's happening after the yogurt?

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Good chance for us, Coker down the left, cross flicked on by Williams, Bridge shot blocked for a corner, which comes to nothing.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Oxley looks ok, good save early on, and just came off his line quickly to claim a through ball

 

[gpd]

Southend have been awarded a crunchy corner....some German guy called Mullerr taking it......another one of the trialists......

And if you want to keep an eye on the performance of Oxley... who is getting loads of stick from the Geordies cos his shirts pink:winking:

Leonard down at the moment, but doesn't look too serious

Yeah I did quite like their chant "you look like a salmon....you look a salmon" :smile:

I think his gonna hear that a lot this season.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Williams has done ok, held the ball up well on a couple of occasions.

Guess Phil is trying out the gantry due to his forthcoming four game touchline ban

Good old CP .. chipping in with the humour..:smile::hilarious:

I expect nothing less than the 4-0 hiding we gave them back on new years day 1992.

Mugs.

Pretty even. Oxley just the one save that he dealt with very well from Shelvey. Looks solid.
Points of note from first half:
1. If Sokolik was playing for a contract he will probably get one. He will be pleased with his half- got his foot and head in defensively and did OK a couple of times when up for corners- on that I would take him
2. Williams better than I expected- he actually holds it up pretty well- but he needs it into feet not over the top to chase
3. Ok- previous performances might get a contract offer

As he's up there, he should lead by example & be our 1st Shrimperzone volunteer of the "Who wants to help sprucing up Roots Hall"... if anyone has his number, can someone call him and tell him that there are about 6 small leaks in the roof, just behind where he's standing!

Sokolik didn't do his chance of getting a deal with us any harm. Murray did OK, just hope he do enough to stay as we won't face quality side like Newcastle in League 1!
