Pre-Match Thread Southend United v FC Halifax Town, Tuesday 11th February, 19:45k.o., NL

[Smiffy]

Just can't see us scoring I'm afraid, unless changes are made.

Would like LCP to start to give us something different attacking wise from central areas.

Walker Hopper Kendall as a 3 up top to begin with, see how we go.

 

[seves]

I just can't see us beating them 1-2 in prediction league, hope I'm wrong and Maher and co pull a rabbit out the bag

 

[Clarky176]

Hopefully Bridge is back, we’ve really really missed him driving us forward on the left.

Ralph is a great LCB, but can’t do wing-back.

 

[RHB]

At some point this team is going to have to produce the goods again, so why not for this game. I'd desperately like to be there in person but it's looking unlikely, so TV it will be. I haven't bothered with a team selection as I've no real idea who is fit/and or up for it, but I would probably start Bonne. As for planning a crowd reaction if they lose, not for me I'm afraid, I tend to spend my time supporting the team as best I can, I reckon they really need it at the moment. I'm going 1-0 to Southend.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

3 up front
Ralph as LCB
Wind in ad well

Round pegs for round holes gives no excuses and hopefully 3 points

 

[in the know]

Gone for 4-3-3 formation. Hayes. Wind. Taylor Golding Ralph. Coker. Morton. Parillon. Bonne. Hopper. Walker subs Harness. GSM . Husin. Kaf. Kendall.Goodliffe . Waldron. Not sure about the fitness off Miley or Bridges

Quite like that line up. Bridge is ok now I believe and as its only been a short time out should be reasonably fit enough. Miley won't be available.

Walker, Hopper, Kendall didn't work against Sittingbourne, so I've rather revert back to Walker, Bonne, Kendall, which did seem to be working

Hayes
Taylor, Golding, Ralph

Kendall, Bonne, Walker​

I can't make tomorrow's game.
My seat in Block C, row L is free if any one would like it. No charge.

If you give me a tenner on top i will think about it.

Yeah, I'm not fussed whether Bonne or Hopper in the central role to be honest. I'd just like to see a 3 and someone like LCP in behind adding more attacking threat.

Cheers J, Mrs RHB has now achieved a negative result on her test but I still show two lines on mine. I'm hoping tomorrow will bring the all clear.

 

[Jack_23]

3 home games in a week. What did we all do in a past life to deserve this. Genuinely just can’t get up for any of these games . Need to be looking for at least 6 points , but unfortunately think we’d be lucky to get 2

This team and formation will win against Halifax 3-1, but the same team and formation in last two games, we will lose.

 

[PIERS]

If , and I know it’s a stretch, we beat Halifax and Rochdale then a glimmer of hope reappears
So I am beginning to look forward to tomorrow’s game .
I’d like to see a back 4 and wind start.
Hayes
Wind Goodlife Golding Ralph
Bridge Taylor Hussain Morton
Bonnie Waldron

 

[TJC]

Sincerely hope we perform tomorrow otherwise I think the atmosphere will start getting a little toxic which helps no-one.

 

[shrimperjon]

am i right in thinking Halifax have only lost 2 away this season. If so how on earth do people think with our dreadful home record we will win this. I went to Halifax away and we won but neither side looked great and they missed an absolute sitter at 0-0. I think a draw would be a good result based on form and what we witnessed Saturday

You are right. They’re 2nd in the away table with 8 wins and 2 losses all season, and a +8 GD. For comparison, we’re 16th in the home table. Looks grim on paper.

LCP will have to complete his statutory first three games on the bench to gain minutes first. I believe he’s booked in for the 72nd minute against Halifax
