Ash Palmer

So it has been a kind of slower process because now, as you can see, we really need a dominant leader.

We go and get Ash Palmer.

We know we need another striker.

we will go and get a striker.

And now, yes, as you say, two points dropped against a very confident Halifax squad at the moment.

They're up to eighth with this, you know, when some people... predicted him not to do very well this season, but yeah, 11 minutes, I'll take you through the game, and 11 minutes, the signing from York, Loney, Ashley Palmer, somebody mentioned on here that they needed defensive reinforcements, they went and got that, Ash Palmer, vast experience, got a good save out of True Grant, great name, uh from it from a free kick uh cody johnson down the other end he had a free kick turned over the baba sean hobson and then penalty promise on my cherry uh proving absolute wonders.

You know, were they right to get rid of Charlie Kendall? That will be debated.

But promise on my chair, he was brought down.

10 points from their previous five games in the division, three wins, one draw and one lost their 10th on their home form so far this season, Southend, four wins, and two losses from their games at Roots Hall, 12 points in total for them, and their third for goals scored in the league, so they find the back of the net.

2.4 goals per game, 69% of their games so far this season where they've scored at least two goals, Southend, so they are, yeah, mentality monsters going forward, but they're joint 11th in the division for goals conceded, 1.5 goals per game they conceded, they did sign Ash Palmer on loan from York City in the week, which I think potentially is what they needed, that experience had at the back that we've been calling on for for this podcast, that Southend fans have been calling for, so a good signing for them.

The average points per game of the opponents that they've faced so far this season is 1.22.

According to the rest of the league, that's the fourth easiest fixtures so far in the division, and their average position of their opponents is 15th as well.
