    Where will we finish, the run in poll

    Again, I get the thinking but I’m sure we were worried about budget issues before the start of this season too, and it hasn’t hampered MR in putting a great squad together. Plus, as others have said there’s the McCallum money, and if that isn’t enough who says we have to say players. It could...

    Where will we finish, the run in poll

    I had initially thought the same, but when you break it down it isn’t as extreme as a re build. Unfortunately we’d lose the loanees Walsh and O’Hare. So those aside, taking the worst case we are most likely to lose; Dabo Hyam Westbrooke Not sure I can see a scramble over anyone else, and...

    Where will we finish, the run in poll

    We’ve had a few of these polls over the course of the season and I’ve been consistent in the view we’ll be promoted. In the last one of these a few weeks ago I went for autos and I’m sticking with that - I think we’ll be champions. Plus, I’ll have a very nice pay out if we are! Our squad is...

    Super Max

    Max has played an important role so far this season, just as he did in our L2 season. I actually disagree he has a lack of natural ability, his technique is very good (hence some of his spectacular goals) and his adaptability and significant improvement since joining us shows he has a natural...

    Walsh, O Hare, Dabo

    I agree they are three key players. It might seem strange classing O’Hare in that category as he isn’t always a starter but his ability to change games is significant. With more experience he’ll definitely become one be it here or elsewhere. Dabo - definitely stay. Even if we don’t go up I...

    Match Thread Southend United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 15th Feb

    Fantastic result, another case of not playing our best but coming away with a victory. As we’ve said before it’s a sign of a successful team. MR managed the game well. I’ve never been in the taxi camp (which is proving to be even more embarrassing every game) but I have been critical of his...

    Match Thread Southend United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 15th Feb

    Every game is like a cup final, this included. Going to be a long last 25 minutes. Very jealous of those who are there - I bet the atmosphere in the away end is brilliant. MR gets lucky with his subs and change of shape again - seems that his luck hasn’t run out out. It’s almost as if he knows...

    Match Thread Southend United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 15th Feb

    Everyone around us is winning and we aren’t yet. Seems like MR’s luck has ran out. Always going to happen, we’re only where we are because he’s lucky and luck doesn’t last forever.

    Running

    Yet to do a Park Run so far this year. Reading this thread has tempted me to run one tomorrow (probably Bedworth as it’s the 2nd anniversary), however I’ve had a virus all week so still not feeling too great. Last thing I want is to make it worse again for the weekend. I’m running the London...

    Chance would be a fine thing.

    Just listened back to US’ bit - that’s the first time I’ve listened to the Friday phone in for about ten years. Linnell sounds as though he has an agenda and comes across like a smug twat. Edit: and really isn’t the brightest and/or well informed. I don’t think he made one decent counter...

    Match Thread Southend United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 15th Feb

    No game is easy in reality, especially with the wind as potential rogue variable. But even so, I’m confident of a victory. I posted on a previous thread that this would be the game for MR to change things due to form/fitness if required, but actually we have a week’s break so unless anyone is...

    Sam McCallum

    So I’ve got unconscious bias re his move because you think he played well yesterday? Again, not being provocative, just trying to understand your rationale.

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    Don’t I give opinions then? Surely my initial comment re you being pessimistic was an opinion? Come on Grendel - as the King of Misdirection I expect better. I didn’t dig this thread out, I commented on it once somebody else had. I wasn’t even trying to provoke you, but you’ve gone to your...

    Sam McCallum

    And what is that based on?

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    Ok, so it is just based on your opinion then as I initially stated. This isn’t a criticism, it’s a genuine question as why you believe he’ll go, and it seems it’s just your pessimism as opposed to anything else.

    Sam McCallum

    We disagree on that then. It definitely isn’t a factor, but interesting to note you think you know more about the way I think than I do. I know you love finding old posts, so if you look back through I've never actually rated him as highly as others, so maybe if there is a bias going on its...

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    Yes, with your own opinion of the situation. So, my question remains.

    Yep get that bit. So it’s exactly the same then?
