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

    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.

    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.

    She’s pretty good at remembering them once she’s seen them a few times. As for Pubs, the Club have bought the Spread Eagle during the close season, and there is now a fan zone there, but for home supporters only at the moment. The West Road Tap is worth a visit, very decent beer, but it is very small. There’s the Railway in East Street, near Prittlewell Station that allows well behaved away fans, but other than that its pubs in the high street. The Fish House is still going strong, and as always the food very good.

    But Howe is playing Rene so he’s surely scoring 4 goals?

    I’ll be darn Sarfend and I agree they’ll be favourites but why do people think they are going to walk all over us. It’s very early days and so much negativity on this site. Give it 10 games at least, unbelievable.

    Definitely more critical than other platforms but more realistic and more believable.

    Tell us how you are feeling at 17:00 on Saturday.

    Omens aren’t looking good.

    Tea leaves & tarot cards are saying the same.

    Not as a RW / RM
    Play him up top and he would probably get one, possibly two.

    Wonder how long Butler will persist in playing players out of position ..prime example Dec Howe is not a winger / wide player .. amongst other things ABs stubborness will be his downfall.

    Currently Southend v Scunthorpe does not feature on the DAZN schedule of NL games for Saturday. and it is the only game missing. Several of our lads have messaged DAZN but have not got any response that it will be covered. Those of you that are considering watching on DAZN, it may or may not happen.

    For those of you travelling down for the game, it looks like you’ve shifted around 250 tickets s0 far.

    Yep that’s pretty poor for the opening away game RHB I must admit.
    Cost must come into it, manager hasn’t helped said after the bank holiday Monday game which the team didn’t turn up for, he said in some of the run in games he told them to play at 80% level and nearly 700 had travelled.
    Train lads are paying top dollar no advance tickets for us.
    Costing me nigh on £100 for me and the grandson with a Railcard and that’s going on the cheapest east coast trains available.
    Coach travel is quite reasonable in today’s world as such only £45 per adult. Cost of living is killing everything.
    Hope for a few more on the day will turn up.

    Big big difference in cost with turn up on the day and advanced tkts and always a gamble with advanced especially when or if the bad weather comes. Just got Donny to LKX for Shots game Nov 21st for £27.35 return which I didn’t think was bad on a Sat. Lucky last season with DAZN as Woking game was moved forward on same day, anything other than that and we were snookered.

    It’s a concern that it isn’t overtly listed on the DAZN website. They’d given the impression that all NL games in August were being covered.

    This page of theirs is more positive, however…
