Pre-Match Thread Boston United v Southend United, Wednesday 15th January, 19:45 k.o., NL

[Clarky176]

One result shouldn’t change anything. We could win 5-0 tonight and whilst that would be a great result, the concerns I have about him will remain. It will take a longer period of time, and for our approach on the pitch to change, before my opinion changes.

Isn’t this a prime example of confirmation bias? Previous results (e.g no win in 4) will act as evidence that prove your doubts, yet 3 wins in a row and 1 defeat in 9 is taken one result at a time as a one off and not proof to dispel your concerns?

Genuine question, how long is a “longer period of time” would you say? 10-15 games? Longer?

I thought they were both injured. Walker was looking like he was going to be out sometime, injury must not been as bad as first feared.

Yeah was impact injury. Didn’t hear anything about Danny being injured.

 

[SUFCGoals]

Walker, Waldron.

Why?

 

[kentblues]

I think we have 17 senior players. Suggest the youth goalkeeper will be on the bench so we should at least have a full bench.

Yeah sounds about right.

So we have three professionally contracted players not in the squad:Beau MacDonald, Mikey Faulkner and Adam Crowther

If we win tonight, we’d have won 7 of our last 10 games.

From those 10, we’d have only lost once… against the champions elect.

We’d also be 3 points off the playoffs.

Having played 4 games more than Rochdale. Solihull would only be 5 points away tho' on the same games. Amazing that getting to the playoffs is realistic given a decent run. However not sure a decent run is realistic without reinforcements so fingers crossed on that. You can't even be confident about tonights result at the second from bottom right now. Goldings availability and Crowthers non availability are big pluses in my book.

Unless something happens to Collin, which hopefully it won't.

And Jack Wood on loan

And Jack Wood on loan

28 days on 14th December would have run out Saturday.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Setting off shortly
Come on Shrimpers.

 

[Jai]

If we don’t win is Kev back under pressure again?

No and he never was.

 

[Essex Exile]

Living in Lincoln now but spent 8 years as a postie in Boston, going to be meeting up with ex workmates for a few drinks before heading across to the footy So there’s going to be at least one blues supporter amongst the home fans. Here’s hoping for a blues win

[The Original Tribal Chief]

Sadly I think this has 0-0 written all over it.

 

[RHB]

You never know, our remaining forwards may choose tonight to add to/open their account. I'd be very happy if either of those events happened. I'd also be very happy if any other members of the team also scored. That's the thing about optimism, it keeps on happening to me, I must be ill. The thing is I heard there is no cure for optimism, same for miserable gitness.

 

[Holy Joe]

Is it enhanced dazn coverage tonight? If so what time will the pre match build up start? Or is it just normal streaming starting a few mins before kick off?

 

[RHB]

Enhanced, but doubt it will start much before 7.40.

 

[Holy Joe]

Enhanced, but doubt it will start much before 7.40.

Oh, no pre match interviews and punditry?

 

[Barling Magna]

I hope it isn't going to be too foggy in Boston this evening......
