Official Match Thread Southend United 2-0 Colchester United

[RHB]

Getting near time to discuss Saturday's friendly with the cousins I think. Ticket sales are pretty grim at the moment with just 1500 home tickets gone so far. This is probably not surprising after folk turning up in numbers last night. Good for me though as we can venture into the South Upper stand for the first time ever.

I have no real idea what the score will be but no doubt it will a great opportunity for more match practise against a team that owe us no favours.

Maybe 1-0 to the Blues?

Welcome to the South Upper RHB! Hoping both sides will put out strong sides and treat it as an opportunity to get most of them playing 90 minutes.

Hoping we'll start:
Oxley,
Demetriou, Thompson, Barrett, Coker,
McGlashan, Leonard, Atkinson, McLaughlin,
Cox, Mooney

1-0 would be a good result but the performance is more important.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Probably be around 3k in attendance with about 200 odd from the Ewes.

I'm at a wedding so can't make it.

The odd word always applies to Col Ewe fans.

Oi, Nevereatwhitesnow and Colchesterandproud, are you turning up?

id more or less agree with that, although I would like to see Jack Bridge start in place of Atkinson...

Be very lucky to see 3,500 inside the ground for this one I think.

No sorry RHB I dont bother with pre season games these days. I doubt many of our lot will come to the game, we only got 2781 against Palace and 900 of those were away fans.

Be lucky to see 2,500 as only 1,500 home tickets sold.

 

[Blues 'n twos]

Heard last night that less than 30 away tickets sold so far.

 

[LCBB72]

I am in London so I will not be there .

Thats no surprise to me hardly anyone I know is bothered about it, people get tired of paying to watch players in what amounts to a training session.

 

[IloveShrimp]

Not going either can't be bothered

If we are going to rely on that CB pairing this season we are in deep doo doo! Never mind having sideways backwards backwards sideways in midfield.

 

[buffalowolf]

I would think a few trialists maybe playing as well, Pogba ,Messi and ronaldo
:smile:

 

[amsemp]

I would ideally like to see Ted, Sokolik and Bridge start.

Great banter that

 

[MK Shrimper]

I'm in Milton Keynes so I'm not going.

9-0 to us, they're relegation fodder. :smile:

 

[SUFCEssex]

Similar to the Orient friendly last season, I can't remember the attendance but I think it didn't quite make 2k.

 

[Supernaut]

Would probably have gone if I wasn't going to be in a tent somewhere in north Norfolk, but I'm going to be in a tent somewhere in north Norfolk. At least I'll still be surrounded by inbreds...
