Southend United

[Rene Artois]

Shrimpers 4-1 Iron

They’ll go round us, through us, over us, under us.

Chasing shadows next week!

You think we’ll score?

[Rene Artois]

Paddy clearly thinks we will be lucky to score one goal… and can’t see us adding to it.

The outcome will be down to 1 person.

The betting odds clearly based on Southends 15 new player summer recruitment and manager Kieron Dyer, despite us beating them three times last season they will be nailed on to beat us as you might expect and probably finish comfortably in the top three if not champions. TBF with gates at home regularly over 8000 they have pissed about far too long in this division, as usual it’s all about the money.

3-0 loss
Scooby Scooby doo where are you cos Butler doesnt have a clue what do ….with the talent he has , Dec Howe on the wing and Barrows starts again and we should start to worry.

I wish I was a s confident about us winning as you lot seem to be. Those 3 losses last season really hurt and highlighted that we weren’t good enough. What we can guarantee is that there will be a very good crowd, the sun will be shining and the ref will be crap. Everything else is in the melting pot, I’m still trying to teach my Missus the names of the new players, there are a lot of them! Safe journey down, those of you that make the trip.

I disagree with Rene ( a rare thing I know). With 2 defensive midfielders, it will be difficult for them to play through us and with Horton and Ogle with two wide players tracking back, difficult to go round us. If the 2 CBs step back 3 yards, it will be difficult to go over us. It’s being creative when we go forward that would concern me. Butterfield is the answer, he needs to start, it’s who leads the line. If we play Whitehall like yesterday we will end up hoofing balls in his general direction. If Whitehall is prepared to look for space and do a bit of movement Butterfield may find him in space, facing goal. You could use Howe in this role put if we resort to hoofball then Howe will get nothing. Gale may be ok in the role, Parker too. We probably would nick a couple of goals and when Butterfield isknackered, sub him with Beestin. I think the defensive issues are fixable with a change in personnel and weak of training. It’s the creativity that concerns me. Midfield is short on this.

That was against last season’s Iron mate. This one looks a different proposition, though it’s early days. There are some concerns about team line up, tactics, link up play, certain players, and most of all I think, managerial choices, decisions and gameplanning.

Bloody hell rootshallbloke keep it simple just tell your the ones in the blue shirts, and that second half you kick the other way to avoid confusion.
Don’t worry their little minds with all the other stuff.
Are pubs ok for away fans around Prittlewell and is the fish house chippie any good.

Good to see your misogyny is as strong as it ever was.
