    Whats your problem? All I said was the game was awful - which it was. That was only a couple of minutes after he came on, I wasn't slagging him off. Can you not read?

    Oh, and I saw what you posted before you edited it you coward.

    Well done, Piggy. Could be career defining.

    Was at a concert in the Arena tonight, still loads of Southend and Wycombe fans celebrating/commiserating around Wembley, must be mad not to bugger off to someone nicer!

    Got your whine in early then congratulated when he scored. How magnanimous of you.

    Best thing about that goal was the two Wycombe defenders knocking each other over

    That's two Play-offs, i've been to and both went to 7-6 on Pens.
    that's about the only comparison between the two games.

    I was disappointed Joe Pigott was only on the bench, but celebrated his goal like i was a Southend Fan; well at least i was still there.

    I am really chuffed for Joe and his dad(who drives to every game:Home or away) as this has been a hard season for Joe with him having so many goal chances in the pre season friendly matches in Spain, before being loan out to Newport then Southend.

    When Joe get's the ball to his feet, like today he has got class, the main problem is the lack of pace and he still needs to improve in the air for a tall lad.
    But the Pig is one of our own, and at only 21, still could have a good career in the game. Guy doesn't know much about Joe, and with 1 year left on his contract,
    i wonder if Southend will put a bid in for him.

    I Maybe bias, but five strikers of: Watt,Vetokele,Kag,Pigott and new fast and good in the air from the lower leagues of Europe who is a steal for a million(not sure of the name at the mo) that would be a young and competitive strike force.

    Very pleased for Joe Pigott. Not many players get to score at Wembley. I really think that if he signs for Southend it will be a good move for him. I don't think he is quite good enough for the Championship.

    I like that attitude. Still think he needs to drop a division from us.

    Piggot seems to be one of these players who shows flashes of being a second tier player but not often enough. Yesterdays finish was impressive at any level. Maybe it will be the goal that sees him go strength to strength. Southend seems a good fit for him and is now probably the goal scorer of their most famous and dramatic goal.

    He should look at Harry Kane who had a decent if not great strike rate and a similar build to the pig but last summer got himself to the gym, bulked up a bit and worked on improving his pace, now look at him.

    The Pig has the natural ability to be a good forward in the championship, if he can improve physically

    He has always been able to finish. I have watched him since U16 s and he is a calm finisher. The problem he has is that he is poor in the air and has no pace. I really would like him to succeed with us, but I can't see it.

    Win, win for Joe now after that goal.

    Thought you were talking about Tony "Magic feet" Watt for a second !

    Agree with you, about Joe's weaknesses which were apparent in the limited game time in the 1st team at CAFC. The plus side is the abillity around the edge of the box with some of the goals he scored for Newport and Southend.(including yesterday when he had 4 defenders around him)

    Being on Joe watch for an hour yesterday, he wanted the ball to his feet in the number 10 position but the pass didn't always come. when it did he seem to have the confidence to have a shot.
    On corners Joe was the one who was on the line, not attacking the ball.
    He also stayed up front and didn't defend the corners which shows what Brown thinks of Joe's heading skills.

    My head says he will have a decent career at League 1 level,
    My Heart says at 21 the he could still have a future at CAFC(If he can get the chance to build on the boost of scoring twice at Wembley)

    I hate Southend, but glad for JP. Pissed myself seeing that clip of their fans rushing to get back in after leaving early. Serves em right. Your team make it to the play-off final and extra-time, the least you can do is stay til the end to show a bit of appreciation for their efforts................. Essex C**ts :smiley:

    Agreed - let's loan him back to Southend for another season, I'm sure they'd be delighted to have him.

    Dr Who by any chance. It was wierd walking towards the Stadium from the station only to turn right at the steps. Was checking who'd won when I heard loads of happy voices asking how they got back to Essex. Well done The Pig.

    He needs game time. If he is only on the bench for Southend we should get him a gig elsewhere. Not ready for us yet.

    The next couple of months is going to be very important for his career. He is on the last year of his contract. He is going to need to impress Luzon during the preseason and push for a place in the squad. Otherwise, we will loan him out to whatever team gives us the best chance to sell him in January and if that doesn't happen it is highly likely we won't re-sign him. In modern football, by the time you are 22 years old, if you are not in the squad, clubs no longer want to invest the time or resources to develop you.

    I suspect he's probably good for a loan to a Division 3 side, so that could be Southend. But if he's in the last year of a contract, wouldn't we want him back after a couple of months to fully assess how he's developed before discussing his long term future.

    The chances of us getting two proven number tens this summer are pretty much nill! Roly will splash out for one but not likely two... so our back up is either gonna be a network gamble ala George or a youth player.. We could do worse than the pig...

    As I've already said about his goal yesterday... the Pig has excellent footwork, has an eye for the pass and can really control the ball by getting into some good positions, his fault is that for a tall lad he cant head the ball so use that to his advantage... Put him in the side with orders that when the ball gets played to Pigott its on the ground, if someone hoofs it up to him then its an instant fine for that player ;)

    You'll probably find the ones rushing back were part of the 'glory boy' brigade.

    Yes, if the playoff had been slightly earlier or the concert slightly later, I would have done both!

    Thinking back, I wonder if any Charlton fans left when we were 2.3 down with a few minutes left and then came rushing back after they had heard that Rufus had equalised.
