Brilliant just brilliant- this is beyond bad luck

This could be better than brilliant news -saving us from relegation even-if it means Powell has to play(risk?) Lennon and he stays fit for the rest of the season. ?

Chris Phillips has tweeted that Rob Kiernan is due to play for the under 23s next Monday.

You can't play Lennon on Saturday; he hasn't played a competitive game of football for months!!

I wasn’t suggesting it would be anything more than a desperate gamble.And Powell’s ruled it out anyway now....just strange that he’s been appearing on the bench.

Like I said Tuesday.....that was an attempt to raise morale by suggesting he was that close to a return...

I will have to play as centre back. We have no one else. I promise to leave my walking stick at home and not to hoof the ball.

We've had to make a first half sub due to injury in 11 out of 33 league matches this season.

Is that some kind of record?

I was expecting it to be more. Although wasn't there a game when we had to make 2 changes before half time?

HARRY Lennon insists he is ready to return for Southend United.

Good news at last

Chris Powell is fit enough to play 90 minutes if needed!

“Obviously my fitness isn’t still where I want it to be but I’m fit enough to get through a game if I’m needed,” said Powell

This revelation came in the middle of a story about Harry Lennon and may yet be edited if the Echo actually still employ any sub-editors

Yes - Lennon and Hopper had their injuries in the same match, vs Walsall in October, and both were subbed early on.

What's the news on Kightly?

Looks like we can add Humphrey to our sick list as well!

12 in 34 games now.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Stephen Humphrys is back home. Lennon and Hyam are almost able to start a match if selected. Kiernan is on the substitutes bench, but may need a few more non first team games.
Things are looking up. Hopefully a corner has been turned.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

The very brave Stephen Humphrys looking a bit better than when it happened.

When is JD back?
