If that is true it was money well spent seeing as he got them back in the EFL

When did Still leave them? Southend don't seem to be doing so badly at the moment. Trophy final and National League playoffs. Was he instrumental in bringing any of the current players in?

Luke Garrard of Boreham Wood is a better choive imho. Has done great things over the past few seasons and if he would drop down a division reckon he's a good choice. Don't know about Jimmy Ball's previous success rate. Totton don't seem to be setting National South alive.

Not a great game certainly once Leech was sent off. 2 sides that were never going to score. However how far over the line does it have to be for the ref and linesman to give the correct decision?? We saw it from the Sieve but the linesman just wasn't up with play. Almost gave my glasses to the ref ...

He's a threat and a distraction for opposing teams. Defo an asset

Agree. Big coincidence. Organisation will be the big key. When I watched the team before he arrived I couldnt make out what the shape of the team was.

Decent win today

Given the start of the season I think being out of the bottom 4 is the main priority given it is basically the same group of players. If the Daggers can maintain the current streak then all well and good. However better teams are on the horizon.

I would suggest that the arrival of a new assistant may have added new ideas together with organisation and perhaps freed up the manager to actually manage. Long way to go but at least a decent position away from the bottom 4 places. Testing times ahead when the top teams come along.

'We won a football match. Long way to go but have to take all the points we can under Bradbury'

Suggest it may have something to do with a bit of reorganisation under the new assistant manager. 4 points from 2 games since he arrived

Their keeper sent off but pen missed

Guessing the club are not too bothered if they think most supporters are local. Makes it a little difficult when you have a 30+ mile round trip with limited parking options

I can’t understand why we’re all getting Doey eyed about a coaching team that have been very poor including yesterday. Good riddance. Bring on the new manager his team and his players and then maybe at last we can make a proper effort at getting out of this league at the right end.


Coaching ...

Two awful teams go head to head here, just the 4 wins between them in the last 22 league games 1 for us in 11 games. Torquay have conceded 27 in that time but with us only scoring 11 in 11 and 6 in of those coming in one game will we still struggle in front of goal?

A defeat here would really be ...
