Pre-Match Thread Southend United v AFC Wimbledon

[IloveShrimp]

I still think it would be better that Akinfenwa was playing for us rather than against us!

 

[Maroon Blue]

I would have Worrall in for Hurst as the only change, Hurst is nowhere near as effective playing in a more withdrawn role in the current formation. We owe the wombles a defeat at Roots Hall and think it will happen tonight, they are more than pleased with 4 points from two tricky openers.

2-1 win, Corr & Coulthirst
5500 (500 wombles)

He is a bodybuilder, his size is almost pure muscle. The guy isn't the slightest bit fat.

The fact he manages to maintain this amount of muscle mass while being a professional footballer is no easy task and is in fact very impressive. Now for the love of God can we stop calling him fat?

Mads saw this photo and is on a flight back to Denmark:smile:

If Payne is anywhere near Akinfenwa please get a photo!

Be quick though before he gets eaten. :smile:

good luck for the rest of the season after our smash and grab tonight. He is not fat!!!! Actually going 1-1!!

I am not too sure if this suggestion has been mentioned elsewhere on this thread but I would like to see a 3 5 2 formation tonight. There has been alot said on this thread about the threat of Akinfenwa and one way to combat this would go to 3 cente backs and drop Hurst. With Shaqs playing behind the front 2. I am confident that Coker could play as a wing back but not too sure abouth White though?

Any thoughts... UTB:happy:

i'd take AA personally, i think he's a very decent player at this level. him and Tubbs up front is going to be no easy task but hopefully the boys are up to the job. i do hope Wimbledon do well, but maybe from next week on

Given that you can only have 11 players on the pitch I can't think of one of our players I would swap for him.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

All this chat about THEIR strengths is not good, we need to recognise that they will have tactics based around AA winning balls to his chest etc BUT play to our strengths and our game.
It would be silly, IMO, to change a successful start etc when THEY should be more worried about how to combat our Super Shrimpers.

Would probably be a better sub option for us than Brown/Layne and Barnard.

I can't wait for this game, Wimbledon have a really strong side now, They have goals from Tubbs and Akinfenwa, they have Pace from Saint-Luce (a young French winger) Jake Nicholson (ex Tottenham) and Also Azeez (Who Brown looked at) and a experienced back line. I would happily take a draw against the wombles

I guess I was right then, some fans are getting way ahead of them selves. I said from the start that Wimbledon would tough and I would take a draw.
