Nice work Cricko

I disagree with the call to start Wind. If your best player is available, you play him. He is in an incredible purple patch and making him miss two weeks, could upset his rhythm.

We are also crying out for a positive result. I'd much rather Wind come into a winning team (hopefully) next weekend than him play today, lose, and have to play next week with even more negativity and pressure on him.

In KM we trust however an ‘interesting team selection “

Didn’t think it would be long before forward thinking KAF would be dropped

The crab must go for the sake of football entertainment!

Think / hope Bonne comes good today

Very disappointing that Pepple hasn’t been given a chance in this one. Looks like Maher will continue picking Bonne based on reputation rather than what he’s been displaying.

The best striking partnership we've seen has been Bonne and Pebble - so I'm slightly more surprised to see walker in over Pebble.

But I suspect Kev is going with experience and maybe the Walker/Bonne partnership is the one working the best in training

 

[Harry Bullocks]

No McCallum for them , that’s me clutching at any available straw

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

That has to be the most defensive team I have seen. It's Southgate on steroids

On the bench I thought

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Out of Pepple or Bonne, I'd rather have the one who appears to have at least some level of fitness so we can defend from the front with a press.

I'm not fussed which, but both?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Shrimpers drifting in now

 

[Sufc.2008]

Our shooting practice just now summed up our recent performances on the pitch.

 

[Chairman Trigg]

Thought Pepple and Bonne as a pairing looked promising.Now Kev seems to like an isolated lone striker who gets hardly any service .This selection smacks of a dire defensive game for the travelling faithful. We used to say we hardly ever make it to the third round ...now it's we never make it to the first round. Please prove me wrong Kev !

Well we did have some success with them both tbh, but Kev seems to think they can't play together

I'm pretty confident Kev picks a side based on display.
He said training during the week plays an important part, and we don't see that.

Really? It's not much different to how we normally line up or have done previously - he's also got 2 upfront which he hasn't always been able to do this season.

Pepple on the bench again? What has he done to upset Kev?

He scored!
