Cause of death given when the team sheet was handed in. Collins arrested on suspicion of murder. Of football.

 

Due to holidays I rarely get to see City play in August but it appears I am missing nothing. Not sure when I'll drag myself down to VP if it's as bad as it looks to be. Grass growing at home - it's quite exciting!

 

Managed to listen to this debacle on iFollow today whilst on holiday, I am now totally depressed. This isn’t teething problems, there are no signs of us as a team being able to get our act together.

 

***WINNER***

 

We need another striker simples innit. Doyle must be tearing his hair out, if he had any

 

Judging by the defending today, focusing on individuals is pointless.

 

I thought O’Donnell was good. As good as if not better than Doyle.

The young lad Colville looks to have something about him although that could be because he was next to the completely ineffective Wright and Akpan.

 

Thanks for your thoughts on yesterday and sorry to hear about the mammoth train journey, but hey, it will benefit us all when we can get to London 20 minutes faster (hmmm, but what if we don't give a s**t about going to London).

Anyways ...

That last paragraph was VERY worrying. It sounds like it is a good thing that they didn't play as well as they did against Doncaster and Plymouth.

 

thing is ronnie, it's clearly evident that not everybody wanted him to succeed. that's the saddest part about the situation at the moment.

 

Tordoff who allowed Dolan to play 5-3-2 squandering a guaranteed promotion if we'd been lining up in the proper 4-4-2 formation? No thanks!

 

I would take pushing for promotion to the top tier now, thank you very much

 

Well,we've strengthened the defence including a good goalkeeper,added some quality to mid field with backup still waiting to play but I'm struggling to see where the goals will come from.Doyle can certainly stick them away but he needs someone to play along side him.

At the minute,unless Jones comes back and fires straight away with Doyle,I can't see us scoring.

 

So... Payne is our best player according to some...

Anyone wish to change their mind on that one?

Luxury player, impact sub.

 

Well that is the daftest comment I read on here for a while, many posted their opinions at the time on Collins appointment and said it was a massive risk, but wanting the coach and ultimately the club to fail is laughable.

 

He's such a non-entity, there really hasn't been any malice towards him that I've noticed.

Scepticism isn't malice.

Who taken on the U18 coaching job ?.

 

As a Southend fan what is your view on Josh Wright? What does he do well and not so well in your opinion?

 

See if you can find one of the mistakes that MC is making to managing the players in this sentence taken from the T&A from the captain

"He said: “I can assure the fans they are going to see a reaction.
They spent a lot of hard-earned money to go down to Southend and deserved more. We let them down as well as Micky and his staff."
