Kind of ironic that we start the game, a game we need to win and ideally score a few goals, with one striker on the pitch. Yet when it's time to close out the game and hold onto the one-goal lead we have, we have three on the field.

Just wait till they extend his contract

Keeper having a Mair!

You can register, just can't play, for more than 2 I think.

He's compulsive. He says whatever he thinks is the answer that will get the heat off him.

How can you tell Unsworth is lying? His lips are moving.

30 from the next 17 then. Can't see it.

I'm all for the strategy of giving managers time and ending the 'chop and change' culture - it's a sensible strategy. However in this case the board have chosen poorly, and their man quite clearly isn't up to the job. It's a real shame - there were fans getting physical and verbal with each other in the stand today - everything else the board are doing seems to be taking us in the right direction, it's just the product on the pitch which isn't up to scratch, and the frustration that brings will lead to a divided fanbase - undermining all the rest of the good work. If there were any green shoots, then it might be worth perservering, but I can't think of any. We don't appear to have any coherent identity or plan. On paper this squad should be performing much better, but Unsworth doesn't appear to have the ability to get more out of them. It's all just a bit sad really.

Still no

Happy clap, or stay away. Got it.

That was the subtext though. The fact of the matter is it's Unsworth who is ticking both those boxes, and he demonstrates it nearly every game.

Blimey.

Gardner played 18 times in the league last season. 13 of those appearances were pre the turn of the year, when we were dreadful, with the final 5 of those seeing 4 defeats and one draw. In 2023, when our form turned around, he played the full 90 once, in the 2-2 home draw with Gateshead. He should be released, not dropped into the starting lineup.

Currently in Portugal. Let's see if we can smash Solihull

3-1 - uh oh?

Awesome - you should be all set to predict

Nope, the more the merrier

In!

Jesus, I hope not

Week 1 scores updated - fair to say it wasn't a high scoring week, think only 5 of our 39 participants scored any points at all! And don't trust that Southend attendance stats site... Let me know if any issues spotted! @Stevie_J or @Matt please can we pin this thread and unpin last years?
