    Fans Support of Andy Thorn: A sign of just how far we have fallen?

    Thorn should at least be sacked as scout then?

    Mifsud got 17 in a season for us

    Sure, but the point is that he wasn't an AT-type with zero flexibility. He kept what he wanted, was allowed to strengthen what he had. That's an important consideration given where the club is now. How could he have been allowed to strengthen what he had if sacked before the new players brought...

    He had Dann and Fox available for about 2 games after signing them before he was sacked(Pretty much straight after a 4-0 defeat of Barnsley at home), and we were in the last 16 of the FA Cup, after beating Blackburn away 4-1 in the third round. Not forgetting beating Man Utd away 2-0 that...

    So why, with all of Dowies "deadwood" gone, and with apparently so much more superior players since, have successive managers not managed to get as good results as Dowie achieved? Think you're actually recommending Dowie without realising it.

    Thought Dowie did very well for us, and hardly a groundswell of opinion from the fans calling for his head. Another Ranson mistake. Remember when we used to score goals?

    Block 15 Drum

    Not really an issue for us, just hope that the Southampton fans don't make too much noise when they score, as could really do with the rest to be honest.

    Time for a change of luck

    Not forgetting the "luck" we had when we got the non-penalty against Derby, without which we would probably have two points less, and only one win all season. The Juke penalty miss keeps being brought up all the time as if our whole season would have been so much better if only he'd scored it...

    "There was no hope left. No one even shouted at the players"

    This has been the problem all season: "Patience is a virtue, it is often said, but it is a wasted one if the ball doesn't cross the halfway line. Much of Coventry's first-half possession, though, was strung out between Clingan and the back four" Possesion without intent, is pointless, which...

    What a joke.

    Is irony a kind of metally thing to you?

    What a joke.

    Why has nobody posted anything about this before?

    Unless we get them in a cup, you more than likely won't have to.

    Sisu protest tonigh

    It seems it's the big, rufty-tufty football supporters who are a bit sensitive, and start crying if somebody swears at them. Do you need some smelling salts to revive you, poor innocent soul that you are?

    Sisu protest tonigh

    Where do you work? I'll get a few people to call you everyday with random abuse that has nothing to do with you, then arrange a protest outside your workplace and keep buzzing your doorbell and calling on your intercom so you can't get any work done. Just post the number on here.

    Sisu protest tonigh

    You've obviously called the office then, like many have after the number was posted on here just to give random abuse. After getting loads of idiotic abusive calls for months, the poor receptionist(who just answers the calls, puts people through and has nothing to do with it), probably felt...

    Luckily we scored with ours on Saturday.

    Eastwood turns down Plymouth

    No manager has been able to get the best out of him since the first half of the season Southend played in The Championship. Perhaps what we've seen is the best of him sadly.
