Pre-Match Thread Rochdale v Southend United, Thursday 15th May, 19:45 ko, NL Play Off Eliminator

[Zeuss]

Really want to wish the Blues BONNE CHANCE !—that’s French.
But we really need to score this time,so surely KM must start the striker more likely to do this.

 

[Target man]

The day has arrived at last!! Let's get this on!!

Is it extra time and penalties if it ends in a draw?

Good luck to everyone travelling and the team tonight. I fear the difference will be that they have two prolific strikers and we dont.

They've got to get past the brick wall known as Ben Goodliffe first

 

[Cricko]

Good luck to all those Mighty Shrimpers making the trip today and to all those at RH watching. I will be at home hoping to have some nails left by the end of the game.

COYB!

So the countdown starts.......personally, more nervous for Gateshead than this one due to the belief that whatever the result everyone at the club did amazingly well to get us to this situation. (However, if I'm still at this zen like state at 19.45, we will see )

Start with same side if we can & see where it takes us, hopefully if chances appear in the first 20 as they were last week, one will be taken!

I'm popping out for an early booster after lunch, then its the tv, tiger beers, & maybe a newly opened bottle of ricard dipped into; the wife & cat have been warned!

As ever, however you are travelling up North (a safe trip & well done) or streaming/listening or watching at Roots Hall, enjoy and believe, we are all Shrimpers!

We can do this!

8hrs 34mins left, and I'm absolutely bricking it. At my age that could be dangerous, but this game is so important after all of the bollocks that came our way, but still we are in the play-offs. If we win this one, then no one will fancy facing us as we will start to look a bit Grimsbyish.
