Carlisle 2-1 Southend United

1
Southend United dropped into the League One relegation zone after their third consecutive league defeat.

The return leg of the 630-mile round trip will seem like a lifetime to the hardy Blues fans who trudged up to Brunton Park in some terrible weather conditions, and will face similiar problems coming back south. 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...

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...

Southend re-sign Robson-Kanu

2

The 19-year-old spent three months at Roots Hall at the end of last season, scoring three goals in eight starts.

Steve Tilson told the club website: "He did well last season when he was fit and the fact he can play on the wing or upfront is a bonus. Click to continue reading...

Longpier look at Southend's 08/09 season

0
On the eve of the new season, longpier takes his annual look at Southend's chances this term and asks whether Steve Tilson's men can mount a serious challenge on League One.

The events of the last 48 hours have been breathtaking for many Blues' fans. With an air of doom and gloom surrounding the lack of signings in the close season, Southend moved with lightning speed and signed three players in twelve hours and even had time to reject a bid for Nicky Bailey from Charlton.

Southend sign Harding & Betsy

0
Southend United have strengthened their squad by signing Ipswich left back Dan Harding on a 6-month loan and Bristol City winger Kevin Betsy for a nominal fee.

The two players go straight into the squad to face Peterborough on Saturday. Harding - who's 24 - says he's taken the decision to drop down a division to get some first team football and the move is likely to be made permanent in January, if the player performs well. Click to continue reading...

Crewe 1-3 Southend United

1
Southend consolidated their position in the play off places with a fine 3-1 victory at Gresty Road, but Darryl Flahavan was the real hero saving two penalties.

Lee Barnard scored two and James Walker one to keep the Blues in 5th place, now six points between them and seventh place.

Barnard scored in the second minute, before Walker hit the back of the net 17 minutes later. Click to continue reading...

Southend United 0-1 Bristol Rovers

13

Southend's torrid festive period is over - today's game at Roots Hall finishing in a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bristol Rovers.

Things are pretty gloomy down at the Hall for the start of 2008. Not only have the Blues slipped to 11th in the table, but the club is now bereft of striking talent after Leon Clarke went back to Sheffield Wednesday. Click to continue reading...

Doncaster Rovers 3-1 Southend United

0
No festive cheer in the north of England for Southend as three set-pieces undid the visitors.

Charlie MacDonald did score for the Blues to level the game at 1-1 but two more first half goals effectively sealed the game in the opening 45 minutes.

Sadly longpier thinks this result confirms what most Shrimpers fans feared - that the squad isn't good enough to mount a challenge to return to the Championship at the first time of asking. Click to continue reading...

Southend United 3-0 Oxford United (FA Cup R2 Replay)

2

Southend completely dominated this second round replay against non-league Oxford and should have won by a far greater margin.
Charlie MacDonald scored two, missed a penalty and wasted a number of glorious opportunities in front of goal. Dean Morgan scored a spot kick but was also guilty of missing gilt-edged chances in front of a freezing 2,740 crowd - the lowest for many years. Click to continue reading...

Luton Town 1-0 Southend United

Missed penalty costs Blues

Matt Harrold missed a first half penalty as Southend went down to League One strugglers Luton Town. The Hatters, who received a 10-point penalty this week for going into administration, made the Shrimpers look a very ordinary side.

That's the second consecutive penalty error for Harrold, and surely another player will be nominated to take the spot kicks from now on. Click to continue reading...

Blues fail to convince, but scrape by
Southend progressed to the second round of the FA Cup but they were far from convincing as they edged past League Two side Rochdale.
The home side had a great start, with Nicky Bailey scoring in the first minute. His header from Steve Hammell's cross beat the visiting 'keeper in just 22 seconds. Click to continue reading...

Jol's cloud moves east

Former Spurs manager Martin Jol was at Roots Hall today. No-one knows why for sure. Jol was sacked, along with his assistant Chris Houghton on Thursday - just before they took charge of their last game against Getafe in the UEFA Cup. Houghton is a good friend of Steve Tilson's. Rumours started to fly around the east stand - from the outlandish "Jol to replace Tilly when he leaves for Norwich", to "Houghton's eyeing up a managerial role here" to "well maybe Jol just fancied watching some real football".
