[woodbridge shrimper]

Well done PB Jake Cassidy a good signing I feel. lets hope AB is the second signing today and that they both start on Saturday

 

[Pubey]

Decent finishes to be fair to the lad

Who set up the first goal? He looks immense!

EDIT: Zoumana Bakayogo

 

[Chalky]

decent finishes, just what we need!

As a Tranmere fan thought I would give you a view on Jake,

He is a real confidence player, when he had confidence he was on fire and he was undroppable and that was at league one level when we struggled he struggled but then again he was not getting service

If he gets an early goal for you and you get balls into the box he is easily a 1 in 2 game striker at this level

I would swap him for any striker we have at Tranmere at the moment

Honestly feel he will get you the goals for promotion as long as you get the ball into him

 

[Jam_Man]

Its giving him the service that concerns us, not a great strength of ours.

Oh well, never mind!

We seem to create a lot of chances every game we just don't take them, we need a clinical finisher

I was just thinking that I'd rather have him tbh.

Kind of need to see more than a header into an empty net and a defender putting the ball on a plate to him. Very similar to the goals Barnard scored in his first two games at Stevenage circumstantially.

That being said, happy to have another striker in the mix and will back anyone in a Southend shirt

 

[Gremlin]

The fans want to know whats happening. I'd rather he said nothing than lie as it's now become the boy who cried wolf and you just believe the opposite of everything the moron says

Let's risk scuppering deals because you are impatient. Great idea.

Hmmm I'm assuming this does not apply to games played at Roots Hall?

Check the stats, we do always create plenty of chances, more so than the opposition.

Its how many we create for the strikers remains to be seen.

 

[londonblue]

Such is the stature of the man, he probably has a tattoo of a captain's armband in place anyway...

I think you'll find it is actually a birth mark.

I think the Plymouth game was a great example....We do create goal scoring opportunities but no one to stick the ***@ing ball in the net

We had him on trial and Tilly said he wasnt good enough I'm sure?

I guess it's how the term 'chance' is defined? If a long throw into the box constitutes as a chance then we'll be racking them up in the second half of games. I guess that the lack of goals over the past month make it seem that chances are few and far between.

 

[Angell Delight]

In my opinion what we need is a striker who gets into good positions in respect to deliveries from wide areas. Corr is hardly ever in and around the six-yard-box where we need him. I do believe that's down to PB's instructions though and not Corr himself who has done a good job this season in the role he's presumably been given.

I do feel Cassidy will get goals in this team if PB plays him in the right way.

[palexander]

Jake Cassidy revealed he turned down a number of League One clubs to join Blues.

"Why?" would be my response to that.

 

[shrimperjon]

we have to play 2 up top now surely?! Cassidy, pigott, corr, barnard, williams, shaq!? Even weston (for reasons beyond me)

hopefully these two wont be seen upfront ever again in a southend shirt

sounds just like the sort of forward we need at roots hall as he will love the chances he will get while here, it's the only thing we miss at moment, someone to stick the ball in the net from all the chances the team make:smile:
