A New Season

Well today Southend United Kick off the new session with a game at away to Accrington Stanley and they will be looking for their first win of what I hope is a successful session. According to the boss, Phil Brown, "We're off the back of a good pre-season, but more importantly we only have the one injury." 

Hopefully after last sessions performance the team and the manager will be looking to build on the performance of last session and aim for the top of the table. Last year after a little bit of a wobble at the start we managed a good run in the league before running into a patch of poor form before hitting the highs again. If we can avoid that dip in the middle we have a good chance of ending in the top of the table and get promoted without having to go through the playoffs again. 

All in in all it is going to be an exciting session and I am full of a lot more hope this year that we will achieve something this session than I was last year. I just hope we get the new ground soon. If we are going to go up into league one it will be so important that we have the new ground to earn us the revenue to stay up there and play good football in the years to come. 

UPDATE 10th August 2014 - Southend United won there first game, it looked like a game in which it look like it could be a frustrating draw when they had the majority of the play until Lee Barnard scored from the spot to seal a win.
