8 YEARS AGO TODAY
@piggy_35
scored that goal at Wembley to send us back into League 2.
One of the best days in the history of Southend United. What a day out that was!
R.I.P to former Blues captain Chris Barker who has passed away. One of the additions from the rebuild process in 2010 and went on to make 133 appearances for Southend scoring once.
You’ll be missed Chris.
Never see enough tweets about
@harrytay4597
. Genuinely believe he’s the best tackler I’ve ever seen to play for us. Since fitting in CB he’s been a minimum of a 7.5/10 every week. POTY so far for me.
Outstanding player. 👏
A message to all the players: Today is not about you and your 50% half arsed performances. You’ve got us relegated this season but today is about Chris Barker a legend who wore his heart on his sleeve in every one of his 133 appearances. Play for Chris. Win for Chris
I’m feeling generous. RT and follow this tweet for a chance to win one of next seasons shirts. Your choice home or away. Will announce winner on 31st July.
First task for the new ownership is to award every player and all the backroom staff new contracts! Most importantly to reward them for their loyalty and secondly because we don’t want them to ever leave!
The goal that confirmed our second Wembley visit in a couple of years 🇮🇪
Michael Timlin v Stevenage | 3-1 14/15
Lovely caressed finish into the far corner
What a servant
@jonnywhite25
has been for the club. About 275 appearances with 10 goals chucked in there.
Many times I thought he was done and he came back and proved that he was still good enough.
Best of luck in the future
Concord goalkeeper Chris Haigh who’s been training at Blues is out of contract so would be available this summer.
He’s just turned 24 and I’d imagine he’d be very up for becoming a full time pro.
He was MOTM against League 2 Harrogate Town in the FA Trophy final today.
I genuinely think one of the worst pieces of business Mark Molesley did was get rid of Sam Barratt and replace him with Jordan Green and then Reeco Hackett
The over reaction on here and Shrimperzone is something quite incredible. Lose for the first time this season (against one of the richest clubs who are favourites to win the league) narrowly by a 25 yarder and a penalty and now we’re doomed🤣
I’m quite concerned for some people.
Still find it crazy how Elvis Bwomono and his agent have let this situation to where it is. 7 months out of football is detrimental to anyone, especially a 23 year old with international aspirations. Mental.
As it’s the play offs, we’re going to take a look at a few Blues goals in the play offs
Freddy Eastwood v Northampton Town 04/05
Roots Hall | 1-0
If there was any time for this man to step up it was a penalty in the play offs 🪄
This is a massive if…
If we signed Dackers, Waldron and Walker IG think we’d have a complete squad.
Maybe another keeper to challenge Collin, wouldn’t be against Nick Hayes permanently.
Thoughts?
Due Diligence to be wrapped up next week with no issues. Winding Up petition settled, Ollie Pearce signs.
What a week next week will be.
P.S don’t wake me up.
The club can confirm that Ollie Pearce and Joe Felix have turned down new contract offers to pursue options elsewhere.
We would like to wish both Ollie and Joe the very best of luck for their future careers 🙏
Weston-super-Mare AFC can confirm that we have reached an agreement with Southend United for the transfer of central midfielder James Morton ⬇️

Paid £200k for him 3 years ago and now released. Money really is an object to those lot.
Wonder how much they’ve spent on their playing squad since they were bought by Hollywood, in terms of player wages and transfer fees?
Our back-to-back promotion-winning Club Captain, who made 100 consecutive league appearances after his debut in 2021 including playing every single minute of our record-breaking National League title-winning campaign. Thank you, Toze!
