First game for two weeks and can’t say im
Looking forward to it at all. Another must win game but then so have the last three and we’ve bottled it. Will be nice to see friends and family again. Leaving Billericay at 09:30 and heading for Wetherspoons on Gravesend before going on to the match. Would love to see a 3 or 4-0 but can’t see it

Come on you Shrimpers.

Gateshead's result is almost as important as ours today. So come on you Shrimpers and come on you monkey hangers!!!!!

I’ll be going, I won’t give my ticket away .. but I’m not feeling excited at the moment. The last 3 games have really taken the wind out of our sails. Hopefully Kev can find a way to make the players a bit more “up for it” and we see a good game with chances put away.

Hayes
Taylor/Goodliffe/Ralph
Gus/KAF/Miley/Bridge
Parillon
Bonne/Walker

That would be my line up. Miley as Morton was a bit sloppy last match giving the ball away. Plus gives KAF and Leon licence to push forward. Walker as he can run with it, thought he actually did ok last game. What have we got to lose.

 

[Cricko]

We must win today surely? Ebbsfleet who have 3 wins, 22 points, have shipped in 90goals against and have already been relegated.

There really should be no excuses today.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Surely we must win this? (But that's what i said before the Braindead game) .

Agree with this, I thought Walker and Bonne were non existent vs Braintree.

Is there any allocated away fans pub?

Have this down as a draw unfortunately.

 

[Sufc.2008]

I’m not overly bothered about other teams results today as think we’ve already blown it, and we’re better ending the season at the normal stage and regrouping for next season

However - what I really do want to see today is us going for it, and KM proving he’s capable of coaching a team to go forwards. Most of the squad have something to prove for next season too… could this be the game we finally wake up? (This all feels like wishful thinking!)

 

[Shrimper]

Would like us to be more attacking today and go for it. Suspect we won't though

 

[Smiffy]

Trying really hard to remain positive about today, but I’m struggling to see past a draw or 1-0 defeat, with Moncur banging one top bins

Or Cosgrave, if he's still there

 

[hlane17]

Anything less than 3 points today won't be enough for our hopes, and also would be generally unacceptable considering how **** our oppo have been this season.

Nowhere to hide today lads.

 

[RHB]

Knowing Southend, we will annihilate Ebbsfleet with our highest goal tally this season. Wealdstone on Saturday will then pull a gate in excess of 9k, I won't be able to park again, and we'll draw 0-0. We will then go to Gateshead needing just a point............................

Sorry if mentioned before, pre match refreshments..pub of choice ???
