Southend make or break for Fergie?

Hey folks,

Bit of reading for you before tomorrow's game if you like. The link below has my latest article looking at the game and discussing why it may be a crucial one for Darren Ferguson and our season as a whole.

Thanks for reading as ever, all feedback and opinions are welcome. Let's hope we can turn things around starting tomorrow and go on to have a successful season!

RA, that is a very fair summing up of our current situation i think.
Some of our contributors however have already listed the game as a must win one.

Nice one, I think that's balanced though I'm bit concerned about your conclusion:

"Anything less and we will probably be in the relegation zone and starting to consider a long slong... "

Thank you Hound, and BRR 

Not sure how I managed that, can assure you it isn't wishful thinking! Can I blame auto-correct?

[RedJ]

Probably wishful thinking on your part.

Well written, the penis mightier than the sword.

Seriously though, a good read, keep up the good work! For no reason whatsoever I actually have a good feeling about tomorrow's game, fingers crossed.

I don't see it as a must win game because we have plenty of games to go. I do see it as the start of pressure mounting a touch if we lose and we lose badly. If we picked a point up and the side played well while we wouldn't be happy with it if we see progress then i don't see much of a problem.
The way the defeats are mounting up is starting to concern me a bit. We aren't keeping as many clean sheets as we should be but more worrying we aren't scoring as regularly either.

 We've moved up a league we've had one month where we did better than we expected and this last month we got our hopes up a bit and got the kick in the teeth that football doles out on a regular basis.
For me too early we won 2 drew 3 lost 6-imagine we win 6 draw 3 and lose 2 then all of a sudden this conversation isn't even here. We have to be careful not to lose patience too early. I have never particularly rated him as a manager but want him to do well for us.
