Wignall Has Gone

[ronin]

Dave Webb has been put in charge

[Andy the Marsh Rat]

Noooooooooooo!!

[Exile]

Hard to believe he has been sacked now with two Cup games inside a week coming up. I would imagine they will lose tomorrow night (LDV away to Swansea) and come out all guns blazing on Sunday. I suspect this makes Southend slight favourites again, although it probably won't take much for the crowd to get on their backs on Sunday if they have a poor first half.

[CIFC - Y.A]

This wont change anything I dont think. The teams still the same team they cant make any new signings by Sunday.

 

They've done crap all season, putting another crap manager in charge of a crap club wont make crap do well. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Come on Canvey!

[Ian_W]

You will still win

[CANV EFM]

mmm not great news, but i didnt get the impression wiggers had 'lost' the dressing room so seems strange to lose him before the cup games, maybe the revenue side of things demands a cup run and they couldnt take the chance .. dave webb.. blimey

[itsgottobethisyear]

Its not good news for Canvey, Dave Webb is the one guy that can not only motivate the team but get the fans on side.

Still it doesnt alter the fact that they are a poor team. Dave Webb failed the lasttime he was at Southend and he inherits an even worse team this time.

[Matt H]

Hmmm my optimism for Sunday's game has got even lower! <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

Southend claim to have a strong squad on paper! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The only good thing is that Webb would've only had tomorrow's game in charge to see them in a competetive game before playing against us and the Squad has totally changed since he left bar Maher, Flahaven, Cort etc.

 

At least with Wignall in charge we knew the Canvey game would've sealed his fate. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Phil Old Boy]

Air of caution as it's amazing what a new manager can do with the same old players. A lot of the time, it's the mentality and attitude and if a manager can exploit that then that's half the battle.

 

Can't believe this has happened before Sunday but just goes to show how much of a must win game this is for Southend to take these actions. To lose against Canvey and be reported in national papers and on the TV is just unthinkable for them. They will pull out all the stops to prevent us from winning and look out for some dirty tricks.

[itsgottobethisyear]

Yes and Dave Webb is the master of the dirty tricks. One of his policies on his first stint as Southend Manager was for one player to kick and opponent then the rest pile in so the the ref doesnt know who did it.

Expect some treatment to be dished out on Sunday especially to Boylan and Minton. Dave Webb is not stupid he knows Canvey are a better footballing team than Southend.

[Phil Old Boy]

Wonder what Jeff thinks of this change in management at this late stage? Bet his mind has gone back to that day 3 years ago now when they last may of met. Payback time hopefully!

 

Can back up the expectation of Webb having treatment dished out. Saw him play in a local charity match and he made a couple of rash challenges which were out of order for such a low key event. He is not all there but knows the hard side of the game.

 

Where has Webb been since he left and why come out of the woodwork now. All very strange.

[c'mon ricay]

I think this may tip the balance in the favour of the mighty shrimpers

[Phil Old Boy]

Wouldn't of thought this would tip the balance ricay, but the timing and the name of the manager I find quite amazing. Can see him just lasting this game out then leaving again. Must be on a promise!!

[YELLOW]

Didn't Webb quit Southend because of concerns over his health?

This must be his fourth spell in charge. Maybe they'll bring Stan Collymore back for the game! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Phil Old Boy]

Well if that was the reason he left, and believe it was that then that's even more strange for him to come back. Just where has he been?

 

Just shows how desperate the Southend Board are to ask someone to come back after he left for medical reasons. Sure all this will do him good!!

 

They may play better now Webb is in charge but at what cost.

 

Be interesting how they get on at Swansea although Sunday's game is their must win biggest in years so that won't matter much.

[CANV EFM]

well its must have been all done n dusted a while back for such a seamless takeover.. i cant believe they have bought webb in just to get them through two cup games, but this is football...

i cant see that webb would have the dollars to bail southend out of the mire they are presently in either.. all very strange...

still its gonna up the atmosphere if the shrimpers come out kicking

[color:"red"]Oh you poor deluded Marsh Rat!

 

I know who will be in the draw for round 2 and it won't be CIFC!

[Southender45]

Christ, you lot really look at your team of Has-Beens through "Rose tinted spectacles!

 

The current Southend squad is potentially the best we have had in years but Wignall could not get the best out of them.

 

BTW if you lot think fancy football gets you places in the Conference/Division 3 then dream on!

 

Try playing neat passing football against the likes of Lincoln, Boston, Darlington, Rochdale and you will see!

 

Southend will without doubt now win this game on Sunday.

 

Shame I will not be there to see it! <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

[Matt H]

Don't worry FB, I won't be going either. I've been offered to attend 'another' game on Sunday! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Which I might just accept!!

Ahh, here we go <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />..

Has-Beens:
- Ours have "been" and are still here and playing quality football, unlike your lot <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

BTW if you lot think fancy football gets you places in the Conference/Division 3 then dream on:
- It should get us somewhere in the conference, thats what we're aiming for this season (Same as you <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />) I've not seen division 3 mentioned here?

Try playing neat passing football against the likes of Lincoln, Boston, Darlington, Rochdale and you will see:
- Who played the "neat passsing"? Certainly not Southend from what i've seen! Shame they cant score neat goals either! Or.. Any goals? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Im not saying whos going to win on sunday, I WILL be going, to see a great match... Im hoping we'll win but I can see it being close.

From what i've seen of Southend this year, if they play that standard of football.. They'll get nowhere.

Ill be praying in the stands for a CIFC result! <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
