[Ayrshire Blue]

How in gods name do you expect this scoreline. Id seriously take a 1-0 at the moment. When was the last time we scored 4? and at home? anyone?

Millwall. Almost a year ago

I reckon on a hard working 2-0 win for the lads,fingers and toes crossed,come on you mighty mighty Shrimpers.

Bentley
Thompson, Bolger, Prosser, White
Leonard, Clifford, Timlin, Worrall
Payne, Corr

That's how I'd like to see things to start. I pray we get a win, can't bear too much more of the hostility from the crowd.

I agree it seems absolutely ridiculous right now but as I said, it's a funny ole game and someone is gonna get battered at some stage this season. I certainly don't expect 4-0, nor believe in god. I'd take 1-0 also but maybe just maybe those floodgates will open. *gets crystal ball

Dave Penney wants to get back to the clean sheet mentality, according to what is reported. But has that mentality ever been absent? This speaks volumes. A 1-0 or 1-1 scoreline in prospect. Of course the mantra is always that success is built on the basis of a solid defence. But success also requires players to put the ball in the net at the other end, and preferably more than once. Let's hope that has been emphasised too.

Is three at the back an option with JBW suspended leaving us with no left back? We have four options at CB so is it possible Brown will opt for that for tomorrow?

You know you're supposed to get behind the players, right? Having that attitude before we even start is really going to be helpful. And I put Lenny on the right wing to give some protection to the two right sided defenders.

Bolger loses concentration too easy. Has a mistake in him every game and we were lucky to get away with it up until the Luton game. If he plays I'll support him but I am afraid his mistakes will cost us.

I hope you are this keen to castigate everyone who doesn't back Weston too

I very much doubt Weston will feature after being on international duty. Bolger made no mistake at York last season other than to end up being subbed off with a bad injury, and I don't think he did badly early on in the season.

Will presumably be a bigger crowd so even more people to be annoyed.

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. I reckon it will be about the same as the Chester gate. I'm with Iron Mike on the score line, expecting the Blues to win with goals to spare.

Probably just under 5,000 tickets sold including season ticket holders according to the online seat booker. So should hopefully just be over 5,000 crowd on the day.

RE: Weston. I didn't mean tomorrow, I meant the season in general

Can't believe we haven't bought in a loan striker this week!
Don't won't to hear rubbish about it's not that easy! We should have loads on our radar as that position has been a problem for a long time!!!!

Brown isn't interested in strikers or scoring more than one goal

His decisions and tactics worry me greatly! We need to get on a run and fast!

And I just can't see it happening at the moment!
