I thought Southend's best player was easily their left back, who, apparently, is on loan from Wolves anyway.

What stats? Play off with Brentford, play offs with MK? Promotion with Barnet??? Is that it?
Serious question Arriba, not being arguementative.
I'm with Sonic on this one.

I'm with Sonic on this one. i dont mind being taken to task jan. the above alone you state would point to a bloke who gets results. would it not? i wouldn't want a knee jerk sacking but please tell me anything postive malpas has brought to stfc thus far |

he's got absolutely no loyalty - walked out on barnet and brentford - and has three play-off semi-final appearances to his name and nothing else. even king has one play-off semi-final on his CV.
i'm not against change but i'm reluctant to jump to conclusions over malpas this early. if someone better was available, then go for it - so long as we don't fall in a trap of never-ending managerial replacements.
aside from everything else, i find the man absolutely detestable and i'm not keen on having a man i dislike manage STFC. basically, i'm not pro-malpas, i'm not anti-change, i'm just anti-allen

King had a play-off semi with mansfield didn't he?
Anyway, Malpas isn't going anywhere soon, like it and lump it

I actually think there are positives to be taken from MM's first few months. You could see against Hudders, LO and Carlisle that he likes to get the ball down and play decent football.
Yes there have been too many matches where the players have played with no confidence, but that may be down to certain "spine" players losing a little self belief, Cox (lack of goals) Brez (not back to best) P Smith (scared of making mistake due to crowd reaction??), Ifil, Aljofree. But I don't think you can just put the blame down to MM.
I'm willing to allow MM have a bit of time to impose his style on the players. Maybe having so many ex-PS players isn't good for him, MacNamee (a non PS player) looks full of confidence.
I just don't think bringing a bloke like Martin Allen in is going to take us in the right direction, we've already had one self opinionated a-hole in charge of us in the 90's.

the thing is, I thought we were pretty shit all game....yet the game was pretty much decided by two blocks!
When Ifil I think it was got in the way of Southend seemingly only shot it looped over Brez and In
When Paynter took a shot it cannoned off of some big bald bastard and clear....

Didn't King get Mansfield to a play-off semi once as well? Which means he has two.
Not that it really matters.
boo I was beaten. Bloody slow tinternet.

whoever gets us success would be gone eventually.every single manager i can think of who was at this club and brought us success left for what they thought would be a bigger and better challenge.
maybe allen might be shit. but if we want to be a succesfull club it will come at a price.i dont like it that way, but its just the way it is.allen left the above mentioned jobs as he took jobs he saw as a step up
