You need to be careful of that attitude or you'll start accepting you're a non-league team. It should always be seen as shameful and embarrassing to be down here.
Yeah I'm not at all confident with the games we have coming up, really tough next 4 games against 3 play off contenders and title hopefuls Stockport.
By the time you play Sutton one of you will probably be saving players for the play offs so might not be such a big game after all.
They've...
The investigation will show that if you keep trying to attack until the end you will score late goals. Simples.
All in the mind, once you've done it a couple of times the belief is there that you will always get one more chance. Plus it's in the heads of the opposition that you keep doing it so...
It's almost like we have VAR at Plainmoor now. 2 referees decision overturned on Saturday and another one today! MInd you it was never a penalty in a million years but the lino was happy to go along with it and had taken up his position for the spot kick until your players made the ref go and...
Notts easily the better team today but this side just never gives in. No matter how poorly they seem to be playing they keep working and sheer guts gets us so many late goals. That's the 22nd point we've earned from goals in the last 10 minutes of matches (and the 10th point won in injury time).
Signed Lucas Tomlinson on loan from the Gas. You never know what you'll get with these young wingers but he had a spell with Bath earlier this season so at least it's not his first taste of real football.
He was brought in to cover for Wright but took ages to get up to speed having not played in ages. Just as he was getting there Wright came back and Boden's never going to start when Wright's available so we've really not seen the best of him. Hopefully now he's bedded in to Johnson's way he can...
This is the first time in 3 years that Johnson has released any sort of news about player fitness. He's very big on keeping the opposition guessing, signings have often been with us for a week but are only announced at the same time as the team sheet.
So plenty of people suggesting that the...
Nobody knows as the club never release any info. Danny Wright travelled to Woking but didn't even make the bench leading to suggestions he pulled up in training in the afternoon (we usually train somewhere local to the hosts for midweek away games).
Johnson says the 3 players taken off were...
And Torquay to Leicester is 220 miles, what's your point? No problem with the final being at Wembley whichever clubs are involved, just makes no sense for a neutral club stadium to be miles away from both competing teams when there are perfectly decent stadiums basically equidistant between...
Never understood why they don't decide the venue (if it's not to be Wembley) based on the teams playing. We played Stevenage in the 2011 League 2 play off final at Old Trafford. Ridiculous decision which resulted in a paltry crowd. Why couldn't it have been played somewhere like Ashton Gate...
Don't think we'd take much more then 10000 to be honest. We took 20000 for our first Wembley visit in 1989 but as you'd expect it's gone down for each susequent trip. Think it was about 10000 for our fifth visit in 2009.
Yeah very assured game from us tonight, looked comfortable throughout really. Sutton aren't up there by accident though so I expect them to get back into form before too long.
Looks like it could be a really exciting end to the season with a really tight race for the title. Think we may have...
You're only 3 points ahead of us not 5. Win by 2 goals and we go above you.
This side are used to coping with pressure at this stage of the season, Johnson has been here before multiple times and our experienced players like Hall Wright and Moxey have all been promoted from this league. Plus a...
It's immeasurably worse the second time I can assure you.
Boardroom incompetence is the reason most of us are down here and seems that's the case for Southend and Grimsby.
Looking from the outside I would expect Southend to struggle down here next season but not sure what to expect from...
