Official Match Thread Grimsby Town v Southend United

[The Big Dady]

Everyone complains when we play 5 at the back. Everyone complains when we switch to 4 at the back.

I just now always complain before I even see team.

 

[Shrimper]

Pathetic team selection.

Why do Southend United seem so reluctant to sign anyone.

Ron lying again?

 

[Alexshrimper]

Christ a top 3 budget gets us this

 

[Cricko]

Ralph didn't exactly last long this time around.

Ralph didn't exactly last long this time around.

Worse thing is when he plays he's probably one of our best players!

Arnold
White Lopata Hobson
Demetriou Dunne Ferguson Atkinson
Walsh Brunt
Murphy


Like this? Or do you reckon 5 at the back?

That’s 7 at the back, where are the U23s, surely better than playing this old bunch. No pace at all in that side. Going for a 2~0 win lol

 

[Zeuss]

There are some different ways this could line up so let’s wait and see before we sink into a sea of whinging and despair :-)

However it lines up,White and Atkinson on the pitch !!!
It defies belief.

Add Dunne and Ferguson to that list

Someone clearly goes to a lot of trouble to write the intro for this thread but as it comes up at team news time and goes straight into comment do many people actually read it or like me scroll through the to the comments? I wonder if opening the thread a bit earlier might get it read more?

The Official Match Thread is always posted up as soon as the team is known not before, as we have a Pre-Match Thread also running.

You are right it is a lot of trouble but this is Southend United.

It is a tad on the defensive I must say. Really a shocking line up.

?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Looks frankly like one of the worst lineups we've ever put out. Hope in wrong but can see a real hammering.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Ralph didn't exactly last long this time around.

Said all along he's reluctantly become our Mr Sicknote.
A decent player, but has played 36 out of 112 games in the last three seasons, and i'm not counting the EFL trophy.
And yet he played 32 times for Dundee in 18/19. He's clearly struggling in the EFL lower leagues.

Anywhere I can stream the game? Buggered if I'm being dicked for a £27 upgrade to BT Sports

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

That line-up isn't slow, it's sedimentary!
Grimsby, something, choose a number - 0 Southend

Save yourself the bother and the cash, we have lost and with 8 defenders on the pitch of which half are so old you will find their names etched onto the foundations of the great pyramid

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

This is going to be awful!!!!

 

[Chrisb]

I did predict a draw but ............
