Agree, I thought it was an excellent performance and that Effiong held the ball up brilliantly and scored a great goal. When Sid came on thought he looked very lively and despatched his penalty with confidence. Not sure of the exact line-up and would appreciate if perhaps Joel could supply that if ...

Mich'el Parker. Hasn't looked great whatsoevet in any of the friendlies. Played for West Ham, Arsenal and Liverpool at Youth level so must be a talent there somewhere... looked waaay off the pace in the pre-season games so far, however. Aveley and Hornchurch he looked like a player coming in for hi...

Heard recently that we might be after this one... Just been released by Crawley.

The comments on the local paper article are interesting. https://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/23661665.ron-martin-reveals-wants-sell-southend-united/?ref=ebbn&nid=1625&u=709bf2998667ee9476109035c1f7cb17&date=170723 It is not looking good for them. Not great at all... Separate issue but a s...

seen loads of negative comments on social media... Personally, I love both kits. a genuine change that would encourage me to buy the kit rather than a minor colour change where I may decide to keep with a previous year's kit. Last one I really got excited about was the yellow/ gold kit just for the ...

Myles could also play upfront with Inih but just take up wide positions. Going by the Hornchurch interview, the manager tried that but wants him back out wide as soon as possible on the left... Let's see what becomes available in terms of striking options going forward. I think Sydney and Aaron loo...

No chance of us playing a back 4 while we go tactically with 3 in central midfield and look at trying ot build a front two rather than one central player in Effiong... Ironically I think it was exactly the problems with a back 3 on Saturday that led to the goal from Hornchurch as we have always had ...

It doesn't shock me. We have made a couple of quality signings but overall in the squad we are a long way short. I would guess the lack of recent signings is budgetary and hence we might not see the improvements we need at all. I don't like wingbacks with the players we have, I don't think it will ...

Cheers... Big improvement needed on this when we get going with the season. Getting out passed and out muscled by a side divisions before us. Two of their players only joined this week so not even a side who know each other better.

Bring on the second half

Anybody at the game today with any knowledge who our number 4 is in midfield? Looks sharp

Still need to offload Mussa and Manny to release some more budget for further signings which I understand are lined up, no reason we would not have signed others already. Mussa has to be the worse signing we’ve ever made in terms of investment and return, can’t even get rid of him and he was not in...

Only two games in I'm aware... but are we using Weston as a central striker now?

Nathan Green, Ollie Muldoon, Jack Munns, Greoge Saunders, Ade Yussuf... close to getting an ex-Daggers XI out against us

Interested to see the formation and positions today from anyone in attendance... unsure from the starting XI online if Weston is wide left in a 352 or if he's playing further in attack?

Any news on the trialists again?
