Still early days for goodness sake and we're missing Vela and Ameobi two of our most influential players going forward. We failed to win our first 10 games under Freedman and we finished 14th so there's still a long way to go. On Tuesday it was an improvement and I liked the look of Mark Little who was tracking back and foth and the Everton lad looked decent going forward as well, hoping we snatch 3 points against Ipswich on Saturday but it's a tough game.

Got as much chance of seeing hell freeze over before we get Big Sam back.

Hopefully Oxford and Oldham will do us a favour and beat Fleetwood as well as Bury beating bradford so we can get promoted at Scunthorpe.

Excellent win tonight considering Southend were one of the in form sides in this league. Glad we didn't go for Phil Brown because of his antics on the touchline. Time to get the champagne out, the whites are going up!

I only know one Bury fan who just supports them, rest of them are part time Bury fans who support one of the big sides like Manure and City.

Should be an interesting fixture this one. Southend have done well recently. Need to keep an eye out of Nile Ranger, been on fire recently and is probably their answer to Gary Madine because he's a big guy who they play around. However I remember playing them back in September and they were very lucky to get a point against us it's just the fact we weren't clinical and were missing key players.

Sounded like today Ben Alnwick was poor today, seemed sloppy in that Walsall game as well. I prefer Howard over him and I can't wait until he comes back into the starting eleven. Also it seemed bringing on James Henry changed the game and Bradford couldn't handle him. Overall I'm happy with a point considering Bradford have a really good home record and also I'm pleased that the Sheffield United and Scunthorpe game ended in a draw.
