Oh dear, sign of things to come.

Only saw the first 30 mins but surprised how many chances Hashtsg were given to score in this game, something that wouldn’t go unpunished against better opposition. Did Carroll come on at any point?

Opposition moves up a gear now.

Hearing Panter could be on the way out, Marsh and Dieng could be staying, hard to shift people on when they get paid handsomely for not being very good. Dieng is actually a decent player but injuries are his problem, Marsh is just the same as N’Guessan, slow and offers nothing.

New right back is ...

Gutted I can’t do Truro typically away for summer holidays. The airline that did the Southend route went bust so no flights, Stansted is an option but as it’s so late to book and a bank holiday weekend flights are £270!

Tough start but others will say the same about playing us, we need 4 wins from ...

Hang them, lot of red faced Daggers fans that sucked up to these clowns last year.

Hearing Lusala wanted guarantees that he was first option in his preferred position, gaffer could not promise that and wouldn’t be doing so to anyone. A better player lined up to come in for sure. He could not defend very well and that’s the main job for a defender, not bothered by him or Lawless ...

Sad news, one of the best strikers we’ve ever had. RIP Cav.

He’s not a striker and lots of those goals were pens, I think we’re very light up top, need another striker.

We’ve made all our signings that just not announced too closely together. Believe Coppin is one of them.

Spot on, I remember last pre season where people kept saying results and performances don’t matter, then look how we started the season. Whilst fitness plays a huge part so does building patterns of play etc, let’s hope we hit the ground running.

So many issues they run through brick walls for him and got their silly little club in the play offs, sour grapes indeed. Glad to hear we’re not throwing silly money at players and certainly those ones with injury issues, long may it continue. Hearing Noah Coppin from Salisbury will be one of the ...

A really good mix of young hungry players mixed in with a sprinkle of experience. Lacking at left back and also up top, not an injury prone player amongst them all.

What a shame, said nobody.

Been told he has nothing to do with his dad anymore and as others said and Archie himself said let’s judge him on the pitch. The tears from Chelmsford fans suggest with got a good one here.

Ashmore and Beautyman have bags of experience and if we do actually get promoted they’ll be about next season too to help hopefully some of the others we bring in this season that need handholding.

Need some centre backs and a couple of strikers, very good ones that will push us on.
