I'd suggest the latter, whether it's poor or not only time will tell as you say.

 

I don’t think this club would survive relegation. And I hope that everyone at the club - whatever is said publicly - fully understands the position we’re now in and the existential threat we’re facing. And I hope Mr Rupp is being briefed transparently to that effect too - because he wasn’t, when this shambles began.

 

What I will say if we have more than the odd player coming in on 31 January ? That will be too late !

We need all our targets lined up for the first week of January and in the door ready to go. No less than 4 quality players who are starters not bench warmers. Straight down the spine of the team.

 

Stevenage drew at Walsall (Another point closer to the bottom two)and our opponents on Saturday Carlisle beat Salford at home tonight.

 

Walsall 2 points from 18 and looked bloody awful. Penalty debatable but I think it was more a totting up system

 

Another bad thing about that is Walsall 5 points better off than we are

 

On the basis of what I saw, it won't be 5 points for long.

 

Stevenage are home to sarfend on Saturday. Just saying like.

 

I posted this before that in next 4 games Southend play teams near the bottom of the table, just saying

 

You mean we are about to go on a long unbeaten run
1point off relegation spot it only needs Southend to have a purple patch and I would say we are relegation certainties Memory fading a bit but in my 50 odd years as a fan I can't remember us in a lower league spot
Perhaps @Bronco can help ??

 

With our current fortunes, automatic relegation spots are a blessing (if we finish 22nd) because we probably wouldn't get re-elected on the old system.

I bet there's a few old stans out there really loving this.

 

Judging by what I've seen for the last 2 months I don't see how we close that gap!

 

I’m glad your confident - because what I’ve seen for the last 10 games tells me otherwise.

 

I really don’t get this type of confidence, it’s like some see teams struggling and think ‘ah no worries, they’ll be down there’ but then when it comes to us there is this crazy belief that things will just simply turn around.

 

Must be a couple left surely, captain Tom is local, he could be a Stan.

 

He's a loyal man is Cpt Tom, its more likely he supports the eagles, Bedford Town, though I could see him being a rugby man and probably frequents Franklin's Gardens.
