Hi. Southender in peace.
Looking forward to another visit to the valley. Got a lot of time for charlton. My first away game in around 93 was the valley.
We should bring around 1500 odd. Tbh I'm not expecting much at all. We have a good squad on paper but have horrendous injuries. So much so that against rochdale last week we started the match with just 1 recognised defender two youth and a midfielder in the back 4.
We had coker ferdinand turner Demetriou Wordsworth hendrie Kiernan and white all missing.
That said we are slowly getting some of our better players closer to fitness. Ranger has been a huge miss and finally got back as a second half sub last match and looked the part. Our young right back making his debut at just 16 got MOM last week and looked great. However Rochdale offered very little.
As for Saturday I'm sure charlton will be looking to continue a great start and I fear this game is too early for our injury hit squad.
We do however have some very useful player and kightly cox and Ranger will give you something to think about saybthe other end.
All the best for the season after Saturday.

We've had a very bright start to the season and some supporters are feeling the most optimistic that they have for a while and certainly since Duchatelet bought the club. The question is whether it will last this time.
Good luck for the season. Southend away is one of the best reasons to be stuck in this dreadful league.
Kidding, have a nice day.
Charlton being Charlton and you needing a leg up/ change of luck, i think we may possibly be able to help you.
Let's see how ruthless KR has got us. I think it may be a lot closer than you think. We are very generous.
I reckon we will win a tight game Saturday what with the players you have missing but all the best for the season mate
Having said that, I'm not sure I've forgiven Southend for somehow coming 1 point behind Millwall and letting them into the playoffs...
What's the term used? ................ "Whoosh"
We lost 0-1 to Swindon who were bottom of the table and hadn't won a game all season. Deano managed to save a cross from left hand side but inexplicably pushed the ball into his own goal in front of a gobsmacked Covered End, which almost certainly meant we were kicking towards the The Jimmy Seed stand making the goal in the first half. Willie Carson came onto the pitch at half time thanked CAFC for the 2k and asked if they could have the3 Pts as well. Now where the feckin hell did leave my car keys.
for what it's worth as much as I despise the owners for what they have done I never wish us to lose. I have a soft spot for Southend, always good games between us and I shagged an absolute worldy there a few years ago
Tbh success this season would be a solid mid table finish and planning for the new stadium being agreed in the next month. Roots hall is falling apart at the seams. The new ground is a must.

I remember being apoplectic when you equalised, if 12 year old's can be apoplectic
Chris Powell would've been playing for you I think
Great days
