You obviously did not watch today's game ,we are awful at the moment, or by the way good strikers don't grow on trees
LuaLua, Tex, CMS and Holla all have league goals, so your last line is talking bollocks. I agree though, as it stands, we're in potential trouble of getting dragged down.

CMS and Tex last goals were almost two moths ago as stated in my post so not bollocks at all.
Spot on. Never been this concerned about our ability. Part of me still wants to give sami a chance but its wearing thin. Most of these players can play better. We know that. Thats whats so frustrating. Apart from stockdale may as well feature in the opposing line up!. Will get caught out soon with a cheeky beckham style lob. Tosser.
I said when Ulloa was going we'd not be in a relegation battle but relegated and nothing has changed my mind. People can thumb down or what ever that other thing is but I don't care. We have had it. I don't blame the manager, I blame bloom, burke and Barber.
I am with you on this,still no real signs of improvement,thought we took a few steps back today with our play.
Hyppia is sadly still a pupil. We can't afford to carry him any more, it's just who we'd get in instead that stops me reaching for the red button. We have made some appalling signings and decisions this summer and they are all coming home to roost.

On the phone in, lots of people were talking about no width. I thought the opposite. We are always playing the ball out wide...but not forward. It's always sides to side, spreading the ball but only ever inching never striding forward. And even if we were to burst forward down the line who exactly are we crossing to? That's right, frodo and bilbo in the middle. For me we badly lack any sort of penetration in the middle of the park that would open up the wings to provide some more dangerous runs and crosses from the flanks. We can play the ball out the wings and back all day long without causing teams any trouble. The ball spends too much time out there at the moment, need to bring it inside and do some Richie carpenter or Jimmy case type damage in centre of the park. Could Paddy provide? Christ, let's hope so. Because we are looking terrible at the moment and most of all we are just woeful and painfully boring to watch.

Just got back to Southend after wasting my time and MORE money I don't have to watch us getting turned over by another of the teams that I cannot abide in this division...Sami ain't the answer whatever the question is.
On a side note why doesn't Tony with his billion pound fortune built on a company who SPECIALISES in betting on the outcome of football matches spend a bit of time asking his "team" of statisticians to pick the best manager and breakthrough players for his own fecking club rather than tipping millionaires who to back in spreads?
It makes me want to weep watching this shit week in and out.

strong and stable with me, or...
This has just made me push mine!
We are in a relegation scrap. Anyone not accepting that right now is deluded - that is where we are; an undeniable fact.
With all due respect, that is probably the biggest load of nonsense I have read on this board for a long time. What do you think we should have done when faced with a player who wanted to leave to have a shot at the big time, and in return we were getting 5 times what we paid for him? You are basically saying that if it wasn't for Ulloa we would have been relegated last year. Really?

If you are worrying things must be bad!
I don't think relegation scraps start until January. We are still only three wins off the play-offs. If we're in this position at Christmas then it's time to worry. I don't think we will be, but even if we aren't, I'm still not sure Sami is the answer. I'm happy to give the guy time, but there needs to be signs of progress, even if we aren't wining. And there were none today.

I know what you mean, but I've never thought like that, I always take a season in batches of say 10 games and I'm thinking we're contesting wherever we are in that period. I think you have to have a mindset of where you are right then whether it's your 14th or 40th game.
Relegation battles start too late for those that go down. In my heart of hearts I don't think we'll be in a relegation scrap come April, but right now it's important we realise where we are, not just hoping it won't be the case in Jan.
The wrong players are wide at the wrong times and we can't find them with the right pass. Calde was in 20 yards of space on the right wing at times in the second half while we pushed it to the double teamed Lua Lua in the middle of the pitch or moved it wide to Bennett, making sure he was marked first so we could get nudged off the ball or have to play it back.
