New signing announced today - we’ve got a new head groundsman. Wonder if he can play up front?

Yes, I assumed that if he’d either stay in the National League or get a league 2 club this summer so was surprised when he dropped down to the NLS. You can see he’s clearly FL standard, but he struggled with another long term injury last season that kept him out for the majority of the season...

No idea - think there were 12 in total but included a few that we already knew had left but never got announced our end (like Miller to Dover and Tanner to Ebbsfleet). Quite possibly the biggest news of our preseason though is that Harry Panayiotou has been offered a new contract by us, but has...

We’ve released a load of players, including Ross McCormack who probably played a total of about 45 minutes.

Drew 2-2 against West Ham under 23’s. Still unbeaten in pre season. Southend lost 5-1 to them last week - make of that what you will.

Gerry McDonagh!! Wow haven’t heard that name in a while. Joined us on loan a couple of years back, had an absolute blinder on his debut, then turned out to be one of the worst signings I can remember us making. Seemed to have a terrible attitude and offered very little (albeit in a terrible team).

7-5 win away at Farnborough - team consisted of mainly first teamers plus a few triallists and youth.

Kevin Lokko signed from Harrogate. Any good?

Really cannot see the logic in that move. He’d surely have had offers from L2/NL clubs, and his brother plays at Colchester so unsure why he’d relocate to Scotland. Seem to remember something similar happening with Jordan Roberts a few years back, went to Inverness them came back down this way a...

Tough first 6 for us - 3 of the brotherhood (Notts, Chesterfield, Southend) plus Yeovil, Solihull and the Josh Rees derby against Boreham.

Still a while until the season kicks off but seeing it like that really concerns me. Expect we’ll re-sign the likes of Lyons-Foster, Fowler and Harry Pan, then we’ll have to hope Danny has a few gems up his sleeve.

I wonder if they’ll go ahead with the annual Christmas double header this year? Would seem harsh on whoever is the 23rd team (and therefore has the bye) to miss out on a game on both Boxing Day and New Years Day?

We always seem to be away first game of the season, I’m expecting one of the northern tinpotters like AFC Halifax or Altrincham.

£20 for us, and £360 for a season ticket. Criminal for this level, and we’re hardly one of the more glamorous sides down here.

What was he like for you lot? Was fairly highly rated with us, solid enough for this level, although loved a long diagonal hoof.

Josh Rees has left the Shots. Expecting him to sign for Southend in the next couple of days. Gutted to lose him.

Genuinely hope he does well for you, didn’t set the world alight for us but a full pre season should do him good.

Busy afternoon for us, our first signings of the season. We’ve retained Toby Edser, and bought in Giles Phillips from Wycombe & Jayden Harris from Fulham, both on 2 year deals.

Fair play if you sign Rees, he absolutely carried us at times this season, think he ended top scorer (from centre midfield) So would be a real coup if anyone signed him in this division. I really hoped we’d go all out to re-sign him but suspect he’ll be off.

Good signing for you lot that. I liked Rhys when he was with us a few years back, deservedly got a move to the FL and surprised he’s back at this level. Good on the ball and a tidy player I seem to remember. Although, the last ex-Shot you signed was Benyu (probably our best player since dropping...
