    On this one I agree with Fordy, Sparks and Rupp have to make a decision quickly if they think T&S are the guys to get us up automatically next season - and nothing less than this should be tolerated or in our thought process. If they do then T&S have the summer to build the team that can deliver this, but if there are serious doubts they should not be given the transfer window and pre-season only to then leave in October and yet another manager will be scrambling around next January to assemble his own team

    For me this is the strangest of days. It is the first time in many decades I will not be in actual attendance at our final home match of the season.

    Wouldn't be at all surprised if BC & CD get offered another year

    To be fair while with a 6 point lead over Southend and only 2 games left (and a +8 on them on goal difference) its not like Scunthorpe are absolutely safe at this point and even if maybe the young players might put on a more enthusiastic display it would be massively unfair on Southend if they didn't field what on paper should be as close to the strongest squad possible. Same for next week based on today's results as Morcombe could be either going for Automatic promotion OR battling to stay in the playoffs.

    What you needed was a match against another midtable team where there was very little riding on it then throwing in a lot of the kids and backup players would have been fine

    Can't find any reference to it anywhere, but looking at the table and doing my maths, Scunthorpe don't appear to be technically safe. Admittedly they are in reality, and would need Southend to win with a 8+ goals difference over the next two games, and Scunthorpe to score none.

    But.........does give Scunthorpe a slight motivation above City.

    One change up front... brilliant. Oh and Clarke back on the bench. Poor Burrell, hope he's gone back to his club. Complete waste of a loan.

    Who knows, we might win! Vaccination day for me, in the afternoon, so I'm giddy enough with the excitement that I put us down to win in the prediction league. But same old same old everywhere one looks, which is truly disappointing.

    Sorry, but why unfair if we fielded what you perceive to be a weaker side to experiment?. Southend have had all season to pull themselves clear of relegation, so tough. We should look after ourselves.

    Harrogate rested 8 regulars to save them for Monday's FA Trophy final, yet still managed to beat Cambridge, who only needed a point to clinch promotion

    How would you like it if you were in Southend's position and the team(s) you could catch see their midtable opposition put out a 'weaker' team especially without a reason for doing so like Harrogate had. It's just a sporting integrity thing, there is a duty to do your best to get a result,

    Been a promising start. Couple of good moves. Still too deep for me. Watt still passing backwards too much.

    Sorry really couldn't disagree with you more on this Simon. Southend have had 44 games so far this season to help themselves, besides, who is to say Barrow havent rested some today against Southend?

    So, if it was us in that position, same, tough, it would have been down to ourselves to play our way out of trouble over the course of the season

    EDIT..Just as I posted, Southend go behind at Barrow, so not helping themselves, yet again
