Southend v Torquay...

For those interested in either teams Mark Clemmit should be at Roots Hall for the Footie League show on Saturday...
Should be an interesting tie - Torquay went nearly 1,000 minutes without conceding a league goal until they did against Port Vale - at least that record won't be broken at Southend, but probably sod's law that Buckle will get Manager of the Month and then get beaten...
Not sure yet if it will be a Torquay feature, a Sturrock/Southend feature or both.

Just checked and before this match you could get odds of 50-1 for Southend to win the division outright.

Probs PP but they're still only 12th in the live table. Reckon odds may fall to about 30-1 at most.

Reminds me of our League 1 championship winning year. I remember putting £30 on us at 30-1 after 2 wins in a row had left us about 12th in the table... but all the signs were there of another Luggy success. Admittedly winning League 2 with Southend would be his most remarkable achievement yet, given the state of disarray he was faced with when he arrived, but we have the benefit of witnessing previous feats closer to hand than most... I reckon it's definitely worth a flutter.
