Is this how it feels to be a Kettrin' fan?

Only if you've started having unnatural feelings for your sister. ;)

Prosser:
how this guy is a professional footballer I'll never know. He's only played when we've had nobody else fit. I really hope it goes well for him though as they might take him off our hands permanently.
we were warned by Port Vale about his 'abilities'. Sadly we've had a very injured defence so he's played 10 games for us. scored a comical own goal, in 3 games been taken off before half time he was so inept and in 3 others didn't get any further than the 60th minute. I am not alone in saying he is not only one of the worst players to pull on a Southend shirt but one of the worst to claim to be a professional footballer.

Obviously fans of other clubs can be wrong, and players can improve, Barnet fans never rated Max Porter, but not exactly a good sign...

Glad we got the situation sorted as quick as that, i'm interested to see if the two new centre backs are given an opportunity to form a partnership.

I'm not sure i'm going to recognise the team against Altrincham at this rate. Is this how it feels to be a Kettrin' fan?

I don't agree. We've lost Howe but gained Gash as a Forward, and lost Stuart but gained Thorne and Prosser as centrebacks (I'm not including Sill, Green and Koranteng due to none of them having nailed down a starting spot by the time they had left ). At most just three changes to the starting 11 if they are put in straight away, we've lost two regular players this transfer window.*


*I know I haven't mentioned Dale, but I referring to transfers.

Link?

Haha, thats probably the worst report of a player i've ever seen!

Saying that, i think we'd say the same about Greg Pearson.

It amazes me that a few people can't wait to trawl the net for negativies about any player we sign. Fortunately most Diamonds fans realise that the way to judge a player is to see them in a Diamonds shirt - although we do have a few who will dash on here to voice their criticism of a new player before they've even completed 90 minutes.

I suppose at least they are ahead of those that judge a player by their Football Manager profiles.

To be fair I wasn't trawling the net, that was on another forum that I read. I would have probably posted the opinion if it was positive. I will still give the player a fair chance. I went on to point out that Barnet fans said negative things about Max Porter but he has gone on to be a good player for us.

[Formic]

Fair enough - although I think you'll find that some people who read that sort of post will only remember the negative bits.

[BartonRaz]

Mad Dog, I was only kidding. :?

And in Jemfy's defence, i'd post anything i heard about a new player, positive or negative.

[STAGMAN]

often a player dropping down a league will be a lot better, such as the afore mentioned Mr pearson, look how well he has done since
