Remember it well. All the Mags in our village hid from me for over a week. That after telling me at the beginning of the season we were an easy six points for them!
Look at the recruitment back then compared to recent seasons. The stars of the show like Woolford and Hooper were not big money signings but came from lower down the leagues. Hayes was in his second spell at the club and we had an experienced keeper in Murphy that let his defenders know exactly what he expected from them.
Oh Flower of Scunthorpe, when will we see your like again?

Wilson and Heath were both competent PMs. Their records are there for all to see. They spoke like leaders and their behaviour in Parliament was not like the playground spats we see nowadays.
Callaghan was not as capable, but he was still a gentleman.
Neither Johnson nor Truss are fit to lace the shoes of any of those three.
From the post war Attlee government right up to (but not including) the Thatcher years successive administrations put the country first. Ted Heath took the country into Europe. Perhaps some at the time didn’t think it was a good idea, but boy oh boy! We’ve learned the hard way that it definitely was.
Since the me, me, me, loadsamoney 80s the Tory party has been about what’s in it for us? Look after yourself and your mates. Grease the palms of the big party investors. Dismantle services, transport, power, industries, the NHS. Let’s give tax cuts to the fat cats who support the party. Let’s cut benefits for those on low incomes because they’re not putting money into the economy anyway.
The gap between rich and poor has never been wider but nothing has been done about it. Instead the government have wasted billions on Brexit, HS2 and unusable PPE they got from their chums during the pandemic.
They are not a party of the people they are a party of self interest.
And before words are put in my mouth, I’m talking about those in power. I don’t for one minute believe every Tory voter is like that.
The decent ones must be tearing their hair out!

I know who he meant, just teasing!
However, we’ve had so many of these “missing in action” signings over the past few years it’s hard to know who’s here and who isn’t.

Going out of a cup is disappointing.
Going out of a league is a reason to be angry.

That’ll be me and Awaywego you’re getting at then, Alcy.
Sorry for attending the game and boring those who don’t go any more.
But hey! This is a fans forum after all. And yes, the football was nothing to get excited about.
What are your expectations for Southend?
