If It Helps...Recent Southend News.

I appear to be some sort of hero after providing you guys with info regarding the town, pubs etc.

So, here I am once again, this time...with info on Blues.

Phil Brown has recently rejected Sam Allardyce's approach for Brown to join him as his assistant at Sunderland.

Joe Pigott is on top goalscoring form with 5 goals in his last 4 games (2 v Crawley in JPT, 2 v Crewe in League & 1 last weekend v Port Vale)

We haven't scored more than 2 goals in any competitive home game this season.

Recent Form: WWLWWW (All Competitions)

We're missing:

Adam Barrett & Noel Hunt (Both Injured)
Gary Deegan (Suspended - 5 Bookings so far this season)
Michael Timlin (Bruised Rib - May still start - 50/50).

Returning

Goalkeeper Ted Smith (not first choice) & Brighton loanee Glen Rea are both back from International Duty.

Our last Starting XI:

Dan Bentley, John White (C), Luke Prosser, Cian Bolger, Ben Coker, Ryan Leonard, Gary Deegan (Anthony Wordsworth - 60'), Michael Timlin (Will Atkinson - 70'), Myles Weston, Joe Pigott (GOAL 63'), David Mooney (David Worrall - 79')

 

The Brown thing may unsettle you. Hopefully

 

Great news.

Forgot you had Ben Coker. Horrific hairdo on him, but terrific left back.

Is Pigott related to Lester?

 

No he's one of the flying ones.

 

Down Bomb Alley.

 

He's a damn good manager. Wanted him at us before he went to you lot. Shows the passion for the game he's got that he was willing to drop to division four to get back into management. Showed his metal getting you to the play offs and then promoted the following season. You started the season slowly but he's got you flying now and there is no reason at all in a league of little quality why you can't be back in the championship next season.
