    At Swindon I thought Pask could do a number in front of the back 4 if needed

    Bayliss off?

    Bayliss off?

    looked lightweight at SWindon

    Bayliss off?

    e Exactly. Two loan players as good as the three we had by the end of last season and we will be in reasonable shape. All L1 clubs are in this position - living on the edge

    New attacking targets.

    Loans x 2. And nobody we have ever heard of - as with Sterling, Bright, Thomas et al. The B'ham thing will be less of an issue. WE have none at the moment and two or three is the norm in L 1.

    Match Thread Coventry City v Southend

    I'm with Mr Panda. A nervy 1-0 win. No Kast and Hyam but hopefully Kelly and Allen both fit. I thought Westbrooke did quite a good job playing out of position as a defensive midfielder against Swindon, even if he looks quite slight. I would not worry too much if he is needed in that role. Also...

    If I was Bright, or his agent, we would not be first choice but be good to have in the back pocket should nothing better turn up. At his age, and with that talent, Bright needs exposure. He just wants it at a team as high up the leagues as possible. So if I was him I'd sit and wait until the...

    Where is Rick Gekoski?

    Best novel with a football theme How Steeple Sinderby Wanderers won the FA Cup by J L Carr It will take you not longer than a couple of hours. I read it once a year. Laugh and cry

    Ahhhh...a new season

    Robins has not had a dud season so is due one, but on the basis of today, we will be a better footballing side and if we play 4-2-3-1, are less likely to be out muscled in the midfield. Anywhere 5th-10th, depending on the rub of the green.

    Starting Lineup for Southend

    For me... Marosi Dabo MacF Hyam ( or Rose) Mason Allen Kelly Jobello Bayliss Hiwula Baka Shipley brought nothing to the party at Swindon. Bayliss brought energy and skill. So suspect it will be Shipley

    This pretty much my opinion. Baka does put himself about, and that was how he made his goal, but he missed a sitter Biamou's was a great left foot strike that I doubt Baka could emulate Jobello did look good (great ball control) but tired and was much less effective after half time Shipley is...

    Ahhhh...a new season

    It is all fine margins. We had the rub of the green last season with a number of one goal victories won by great bits of individual skill (Accrington A, Charlton H, Southend H). These could have just as easily been draws. It is a team re-build for the 2nd time in 3 years - only Kelly & Hyam...

    I and one other will be there - it's semi-local. Disjointed 2-1 win. It's the cheapest game I am going to see £8 + a bit of petrol

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    If I remember rightly Maddison went at the very last minute. Who knows what is going on. But we do know CCFC is a tight ship on the transfer side.

    If every club had the replacement sorted out, it becomes like a housing chain only worse. You are all waiting for one link in the chain to sort themselves out. You have to recognize that it is not always possible to have someone lined up. Last year three of out top 5 players were loans. Only...

    We have made a trading profit on a player who is at best not suitable to our way of playing, and at worst an overpriced dud. Finding the right striker is really difficult, so if you can move them through so much the better. He was never going to do 10 goals a season
