Kim Mitten I had a quick look at the Southend team too because I see a lot of pessimism from your fans, with lots expecting more of a relegation battle rather than promotion. You have Murphy, Akinola, Ogogo and Coulson, all solid players for this level, I think you’ll definitely be up there

If he breaks more bones, then the lad has clearly kicked a cat at some point in his life. Honestly he sounds like every defender you get at this level, they’ll have good games and they’ll have really bad games. He’ll need to work on his defensive work that’s for sure, but hopefully being drilled...

Maybe he was afraid of Duffy and his ridiculously long neck

You’ve had some, let’s say interesting managers though and have been in freefall with the likes of Powell and Campbell, so maybe he needs more of an older experienced head to really grab him around the scruff of the neck. I don’t expect him to lead, I’d imagine that’s where Brisley excels, and...

So will he just become a c*nt then if you’re 17th when January rolls around?

Same, I’d love that. Especially if it’s a fully licenced league. I played the 2008 version or whenever it was religiously and that was probably our worst ever team. People like Michael Proctor up front. I think Shaun Pejic is part of the Fifa team too, so maybe he’s got some pulling power and...

That’s him. He looked like exactly what we need in midfield. I don’t know a lot about Palmer, but he’s tumbled down the leagues a few times it seems. Ah fair enough. I can only judge him on the games I’ve seen against us and on BT. He just always seems interested in the centre half more than...

That’s definitely no coincidence, thank god haha. We just may finally have a manager for this level with a bit of nous and knowledge for how to set up in this league

Your best player in the second game against us was the midfielder who scored whose name escapes me, but I’m pretty sure he’s left now hasn’t he? No one else really stood out, but Wootton always seems to get goals even though I’ve never seen him ever do anything in a game. You’ll do well to...

Are we talking Danny or James? Originally I thought ER was talking about Danny Rowe, who always seems a bit arrogant and he has those big red cheeks like a toddler who just had a tantrum. Top quality at this level though

That’s going to be a fun conversation with Quigley, Madden, Reid et al..

Honestly I don’t care what style of play we employ, if it gets results. If we’re going to be one of the ugly sides like Mansfield and Bristol Rovers etc, then I’m all for it. Keates tried to make us resolute and ugly.. and he succeeded :bg: But not in the way he wanted. We were too defensive...

Manny had a career ending injury, was it ACL? He barely had any injuries in both his spells with us. I don’t remember Lainton missing many games, apart from when he had concussion last season, I think he missed a few then. It’s a risk for sure but an experienced manager like PP is not going to...

Ok so what are we looking at here? A centre back who it appears is playing at least a level below his standard, all because he’s been so unlucky that he broke his left and right fibula on separate occasions. Apparently played a season in the championship with Charlton, so I’m sure Les Reed knows...

You realise that two strikers scoring 10/15 and one scoring 20/30 is basically the same, right? The only difference being that you’re most likely completely stuffed in the second scenario if they get injured. You can’t guarantee any signing will score X amount of goals. It’s just an ‘either or’...

Said it before, I’d much rather have two 10/15 goal scorers rather than just one scoring 20/30. You lose this main man and you’re buggered, whereas the other style, you lose one and you still have a solid replacement who’s been scoring goals. Never understood why people always want that 20/30...

I remember it being stated on twitter after an England friendly a few years ago that one of the squad members was going to come out as gay on the Monday after and it never happened, so definitely a pinch of salt. If it is true, good on him to show the bravery and finally accepting themselves...

Not seen it announced anywhere, but Halifax have signed some keeper called Will Appleyard on a one year contract. Wonder where they’ve plucked him from.

I’ll be honest, it wasn’t the picture in the train station that bothered me, it was the adjoining repulsive video below it..

When’s the statue reveal ceremony?
