Preview from the Barnet forum:
So..... Saturday sees us face off against the thames siders as we face Sarfend. Home of seafood, a long pier and our former coach.
Southend United are really a league one club and now that they have removed the Essex Lazarou from their club they will have high hopes of getting there as their sizeable support should allow a hefty transfer purse.
Despite being a larger club we always get a warm welcome there and some of our ITK also get the opportunity to lay additional flowers at the shrine of Saint Currie of the Spraytan. With Wes Fonguck now warming the bench at Ebbsfleet (when he can find it) Harry Taylor is the only ex bee on the playing staff at the Shrimpers. I have seen a few of their fans complaining about ticket releases but I am sure they will be ok in the whole of the 1966 stand and if not we will give them a block in legends. I just hope they don't let any success go to their heads and become insufferable like Chesterfiled and Notts County.
In terms of Barnet we were simply awful on Tuesday and I don't care if Forest Green Rovers stuffed their previous opponents 4-0 and are filled with League 1 Players we should be beating every team 5-0 as we are the favourites for the league and if we had taken a few of the speculative shots from the edge of the area with FGR players a yard away we definitely would have won 5-0.
In a world I like to call reality it will be another tough one and with us lacking striking options I can see it being won by the odd goal again. This is the team I would go with:-
--------------------------------------Hayes------------------------------------
-----------------Kizzi----------------Oluwu-----------------Kenlock---------
-----Kanu--------------------Tavares---------Hartigan--------Coker--------
----------------------Brunt-------------------------Clifford--------------------
--------------------------------------Stead---------------------------------------
Subs: Chapman, Gilmore, Okimo, Rye, Shelton, Francis, Hall-Johnson
I think casablanca is the way to go here. Chapman and RHJ may well force their way in in the coming weeks but if it ain't Ron Martin don't fix it.
