Pre-Match Thread Crewe v Southend

[fredheim_holm]

Well as far as I can see this hasn't been made yet, so here it is.

My prediction is a 2-1 win, Harris & Hall the goalscorers.

In 24 hours we'll know where we stand for the home leg. Very nervous already.

I'm going for a 2-0 win so a two goal advantage going into the second leg! :thumbsup:

 

[leeblue]

we are going to smash em all over the ****ing shop and all the other ****ing shops.

BBC provinding some good stats on their preview of tomorrow's game here.

Looks like Crewe manager Steve Davis will be opting for a cautious approach tomorrow.

mind games, they have to have a go, they also cant sit and defend they concede a fair few goals, Mohsni will leave no one alive

If my memory serves from our last match; Grant played well (as previously he was played wide on the left wing & this didnt work). Timlin too & Bilel scored as well so positives for good link play & goals for us IMHO.

I do feel we can finish them off at home if it was too stay a draw though.....

It's been a while since I have been on here. Years in fact...COME ON YOU SOUTHEND. 2-0 Southend Harris & Hall

i cant call this, crewe are actually so so dangerous and i think we are going to struglle with their talent in Powell, Murphy, Miller, Moore and bodin. I really fear they may have too much for us.

IMHO crewe are the dangerous team of the play offs

we could match that with hall, mohsni, grant, eastwood, harris, timlin but what do i know

 

[Pak Power]

With Steve Davis saying we have to keep in the tie. Luggy saying we have to keep it tight, I travel with the expectation of a nervy 0-0 bore in front of the cameras, showing very little quality.

Actually that wouldn't be the end of the world.

 

[davecrewe]

your a very good side the last team to beat us but we are not that side anymore things have changed we are playing some good stuff we are just buzzing we are in the play offs as at the start we were 18th then steve came in and now we are one of the best teams in this league along with southend who i respect should of won this league imo would of liked this to be a final but like i say we are just happy to be with a chance after our poor start to the season cant wish you luck but i will if you get to wembley hope you dont though enjoy the game lads :winking:

1-1 draw, to keep both unbeaten records intact. will be very cagey. Will take any result other than a loss, do not want to have to chase the game in the home leg

All of those players (minus bodin) were involved in both of the games that we beat them, I know they shouldn't be treated lightly (their record speaks for itself) but I don't get all this negativity! They scraped a draw against torquay in the last minute and only managed a draw on the last day of the season, they are good but they aren't world beaters. It'll be 2 very tough games for sure but lets not forget the form Were in before we worry about theres, our league positions do not lie.

Prediction - 1-1 with a late Crewe equaliser setting up a tense affair on Wednesday....

 

[Kevin Hogg]

A narrow away win!!
C'MON YOU SHRIMPERS!!!!

What he said ^^^. I will obviously be ecstatic if we come away with a win, and I wouldn't put it past us, definitely do-able, happily settle for a draw though.
