Bristol Rovers 4-2 Southend United

0
Southend United were ripped apart by Paul Lambert who scored all four goals for his side as the Blues were destroyed by some lethal finishing and appalling defending.

Lambert completed a hat trick after just 33 minutes at the Memorial Stadium - the Blues being completely outplayed.

Lambert scored his fourth before the Blues got two consolation goals - first from Peter Clarke (70) and then substitute Francis Laurent (75). Click to continue reading...

BREAKING NEWS - Federici "likely" to stay

0
Within the last few minutes it's been revealed the hugely impressive Adam Federici is in talks to stay with Southend up until the first round of the FA Cup (8 November). His initial one month loan period came to an end after tonight's draw with Scunthorpe. But with Reading manager Steve Coppell happy for him to stay, and Federici seemingly enjoying first team football Steve Tilson has said the club's now in talks to extend the loan period.

Scunthorpe 1-1 Southend United

0
Southend United gained a valuable point at table-topping Scunthorpe on a chilly October night at Glanford Park. But the Blues will feel hard done by after conceding a dubious penalty with just eleven minutes to go.

The first half was a gritty affair with both sides playing some good football. Click to continue reading...

Southend United 2-1 Swindon

1
Southend United climbed to sixth in the League One table with a deserved 2-1 victory over Swindon at Roots Hall.

Substitute Francis Laurent grabbed the winner for the Blues on 71 after an effective - if unspectacular - team performance helped the Shrimpers to within five points of league leaders Scunthorpe, who Southend face on Tuesday night. Click to continue reading...

Yeovil 1-2 Southend United

0
Southend made it four wins on the trot with a battling 2-1 victory at Yeovil. The Blues didn't exactly shine in this one, but in terrible conditions they picked up another three points on the road.

Apologies for the late report - this one comes from PA:

Hal Robson-Kanu netted the winner for Southend as they ran out 2-1 victors over nine-man Yeovil. Click to continue reading...

Weekend Wagers

1
For me the initial raison d'etre behind collecting and analysing football statistics was to help my football betting. I reasoned that shot statistics would be especially useful in identifying which teams had been unlucky and therefore underestimated by the oddsmakers. As time went on I became more interested in what the data revealed about teams, players and strategies, rather than using it as a predictive tool. Click to continue reading...

Southend United 2-4 Leyton Orient (JPT SS R1)

1
Southend United crashed out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy with a humiliating home defeat to one of their biggest rivals.

Orient capitalised on gaps all over the park, especially in the second half, and Blues were made to pay for their lack of man-marking on several occasions.

Steve Tilson has a big job on his hands sealing up the massive space Blues allowed the visitors to enjoy. Click to continue reading...

Walsall 5-2 Southend United

2
Southend United slipped to a heavy defeat at the Banks's Stadium after too many defensive errors were punished by an efficient home side who thoroughly deserved the victory.

A terrible second half period saw the Blues collapse after going into the break level at 1-1.

Hal Robson-Kanu scored that equaliser and Lee Barnard got his first goal of the season - a consolation - to make it 5-2. Click to continue reading...

Southend United 0-2 Brighton

1
Southend United slipped to their first league defeat of the season in a game they did not deserve to lose.

Franck Moussa was sent off in the 63rd minute for a challenge in the middle of the park in what seemed to be a 50-50 ball.

The Blues will indeed rue their luck with Alex Revell hitting the post in the first half and Lee Barnard seeing a header cleared off the line with the game at 0-1. Click to continue reading...

Openness from on high

Not Fulham, but Southend's Chairman Ron Martin has another open letter to his supporters up on the Southend site.  It's really interesting stuff. Several players have left the Club in the close season but many were considered just not good enough to compete at this level. The exception – in my view – was Mark Gower.

Pier steals the show on BBC

Weston Super Mare pier fire on Monday

When Weston Super Mare's pier burnt down earlier in the week, I immediately thought of our very own pier at Southend.
It's been burnt many times - most recently in 2005, when a pub at the end went up in smoke. It took the council just a month to reopen the pier to visitors, showing the true British spirit of "getting on with things". Click to continue reading...
