Zak Brunt and Kacper Lopata

Not sure whether this will appeal to you chaps but we maintain stats for the players including cumulative voting averages. These two screen shots cover all three of your guys. If this is too anal then I'll not repeat, but there may be some Stattos amongst you that thrive on this sort of stuff.

3 wins on the bounce and unbeaten in 4 Rootshallbloke ? With 3 winnable games coming up too

Rootshallbloke Harrison is a very good friends nephew, he's held in high regard and he said he's really enjoyed his 3 games so far. His old man isn't enjoying it, the games are all huge drives down from Rotherham, for all home and away games (I think he said 90% of away games are 150+ mile round trips

There's definitely a north/south divide. I've taken the map below off Wikipedia but it's not right, AFC Fylde & Dartford now play in the National League North and South respectively and it was missing King's Lynn, Dover, Chesterfield and Southend. I know they're not geographically correct but they're in the right area.

Bet Harrison's dad is glad that Southend have already played at Torquay but it doesn't get easier this weekend: Dover away

Yeah he had the pleasure of Weymouth recently

A 1-1 very hard earnt point at Aldershot tonight -Glamourous eh? Not either lad's best game of the season, but they will have learnt a few lessons I think. Kacper copped a yellow and some would say it could have been a red as he went through a player to get the ball, and Harrison had a less than effective impact on our middle tonight. That said it shows the high standards he has set previously. Add to that the crowd of bugger all in a ground that is very uninviting and it doesn't help the mood I guess. Still, 500 of the Blues faithful got their arses down there for the game. Next up Dover, another long journey for Harrison's dad by the sound of things.

Another booking for Neal - that’s 3 yellows in 4 games for Southend

He's very consistent on that front, but his combative style combined with atrocious refereeing standards at this level don't help the numbers. I think a little rest for Harrison is not far away.

unbeaten in 4 @Rootshallbloke ?

Five

Looks like we have some serious Southend form followers in Yorkshire. I can understand the need to follow, we are an addictive club. (I can't believe I've just typed that bullshit, it's being on here brings out the worst at times).

I just follow #SUFC on twitter. Unfortunately there's some blue and white shite that use the same hashtag

You're a smooth talking f**ker.

Good to see Southend are now starting to pull away from the bottom three. !0pts is a nice cushion to have and should be enough to keep you out of trouble as the bottom three look to be very poor.

Is that the same Dover who are on their longest winning streak for 2 years?

 

[Rootshallbloke]

Another learning curve, but they all count. Nevertheless, I'd just like to say bollocks, very loudly.

Why can't our midfielders tackle more. We have a lot of youngsters that seem to like putting a tackle in but none in the bloody first team.

Lopata absolutely demolished his marker for his yellow on Tuesday. He won the ball but the player just got in his way. The shots fans were spitting feathers but luckily the ref was just enough unsure not to 'red' him. I've see it given for less, I must say.

By the sounds of it, he's not very good at it

In depth match report from Dover. We won, our Afghan International nicked it with a volley, we really missed Harrison and the game was shite.

But importantly.... You won.

Absolutely correct Weasel, and even though we were poor we ground out the 1-0. Last Tuesday their home gate was around the 600 mark, today the Attendance: was 2,657 with 1,935 Shrimpers giving it large. Happy days (I hope)

We've been shovelling/watching/feeling shite for the last three seasons, time to give it large for a bit.

Yeah but you will be telling us you took 3000 to Vicoria (Loftus) Road next.

Not too sure where Vicoria Road is, so probably not.

A few Post match thread Lopata extracts from last night's victory against Barnet:

lopata- love this kid, maybe a loaner but love his passion for the shirt. Solid and reliable 8

Lopata for me is an absolute class act , I like everything about this kid and he is the glue that holds it all together for me , let’s just enjoy him...

Lopata was excellent, heads and shoulders above his back three colleagues.

Fortunately Lopata was immense.

At the back Lopata made some crucial interceptions on the ground and with his head

Lopata stand out players for me.

And as for Harrison Neal's enforced absence?

We definitely missed Harrison Neal tonight. Without him we were open and it showed again how much he covers for Atkinson in the middle.

Oh, and we didn't half miss Harrison Neal. Thankfully he will be back for our next game.

Obviously National League is nowhere near where these two have the potential to play, but if we can help their development then maybe your squad can benefit with two more mature youngsters ready to give it a go. Both wll Probably need more loan time higher up, but Lopata especially can be very very good before too much longer.

Moving up the league nicely now, play off push?
