We still need a partner with finishing ability and hold up skills to keep us in the top 6. Get this player and we have a real chance.
again yesterday Nichols fluffed 2 very very good chances - 1st in the first 15 secs of the second half but he refused to shoot and eventually did so from the goal line. then again in a similar position to where Ogogo scored which he walloped over the bar.
when you see him in the starting 11 - you know he won't deliver even 1 goal. I pray either he or Benno OR both can be offloaded in Jan and we can get somebody who GC can trust to get 5 - 10 goals till the season end.
It's great that the midfield and defenders are chipping in, and of course JCH will keep scoring, but there's games against better opposition than Southend where we need a proper strike partner for JCH.

Perhaps Nichols can play in midfield, he is a good footballer but not a striker at this level. I thought he played well yesterday.

I think you are more likely to see JCH on his way and TN staying

Does anyone know what contracts are up in the summer? Sercs, Rollin? Rovers don’t disclose contract lengths any more so really it’s anyone’s guess. Menayese extended his contract in January 2018 and to the best of my knowledge Sercombe hasn’t signed any extensions since signing in 2017 so I would imagine both are nearing the end of their contract but who knows.

He's not hard enough, not skilfull enough, not anything enough. 3 years of complete and utter crap. Bin him.

Wes McDonald is getting rave reports in a struggling Walsall team. Pace to burn and able to turn defenders inside out. Getting a lot of scouting attention and OUT OF CONTRACT at the end of this month! Was interested in watching Brandon Goodship for Sarfend yesterday. I seem to remember Pirate recommending him when he was still at Weymouth. Is Pirate aware of McDonald?

Was instrumental for them in the first half and they started unraveling when he went off in the second.

Hopper always seems to play well against us - scored the only goal of the game last season at the Mem. Thought he was very fast for a number 9 but didn’t see much aerial power in him. Holds the ball up well though.

Think you'll find Bennett is contracted until the end of next season - 2021. Corresponding match last season we were thumped 4-1 home to Donny - and we all know what happened after that. We were on 15 points in 21st position and looking down - can't really believe where we are now - but the table doesn't lie - feel we could get something next week - shame it's a such a sod of a place to get to.

What would be said if we signed someone for £300k + and gave them a 12 month contract and saw them leave on a free after scoring 30 goals? I’d love to be a manager with hindsight. A water easy job.

Good shout. Between him, Humphrys and Goodship I actually think Southend have a pretty decent attack.
