    Four years ago we were forcing ourselves into the Play Offs and onto Wembley. Ironically, the ‘Iron’ were ahead of us!
    Jump to today and that was a very poor performance between two teams who have little identity and seemingly no purposeful direction.
    So very very poor!

    Hidden in that table are Southend who lost their Football League Status today!

    Just you wait. Rahic damage done to the club was 5 years worth. We are nearly there for that millstone to go from around our neck. Then We will be out of this league as champions by Christmas

    True, but they have had this coming for a while. Ever since they appointed Sol Campbell and thinking they were big time charlies like him. At least they ending their season trying to make a go of it rather than wimpering off to Morecambe Beach.

    You joke but I think we all know a few on here will peddle this or similar out at some point in defence of failure.

    I was being sarcastic, this season has been an utter disaster form the very first day due to our ex CEO and our wonderful owner making no attempt to get promoted. Thankfully one has gone but the other shiester is still here, now overseeing a lower half finish in league 2. But hey at least the offices have been painted. Which is nice.

    Today was a good point against a very good side who are always a dangerous opponent. Something like that.

    We are not failing according to them.We are a million miles from succeeding at owt but we are definitely not failing.
    I’m just glad we avoided relegation and we’ve got a team...............etc. repeat to fade.

    Let Southend be a warning to us. Scunthorpe just survived and we were heading for the exit. You have to stop the slide or it might be us next season.

    Have some hope, Look at Brighton, Ground sold under them and homeless, Had to play at an old run down athletic stadium, And now in a superb stadium and in the Premier League, All it took was a man at the top who had ambition,Drive and money, Unfortunately we have none of these at the moment but things can change so keep the faith
