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

[Shrimpergonzo]

I would love to see LCP start too, the trouble is I can't see this happening AND us playing strikers as it's a big ask to get LCP as one of two central midfielders - unless of course he goes 4 at the back (can't see that happening!). Therefore you're left with in Kevworld:

Hayes

Taylor Golding/Goodliffe Ralph

GSM Husin/Coker Morton Bridge

Kendall Bonne/Hopper Walker​

or

Hayes

Taylor Golding/Goodliffe Ralph

GSM Husin/Coker Morton Bridge

LCP

Bonne/Hopper Walker/Kendall​

What I'd actually like to see is:

Hayes

Wind Golding Goodliffe Ralph

Taylor

LCP Morton

Bonne Hopper Kendall
​

Not going to happen though!

 

[Ian Benjamin]

Justin is going to be at the next 3 games, let's hope we all see an improvement over the past 2 Saturdays.

Never really saw Taylor as a holding mid, how was he? See a few have said he wasn't great?

Taylor’s been excellent defensively but his lack of passing is one of the things most holding us back right now. The thought of him in defensive midfield just feels me with dread.

 

[Scamps]

I would drop Ralph, he can’t play as a wing back, doesn’t have the skill or pace to take anyone on, if bridge is fit then have him in if not then try George wind on the left.

 

[damien]

Get at them

Hayes
Wind Golding Goodliffe Ralph
Taylor Morton
LCL
Kendall Bonne Walker

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Be good to get a 6,500 gate for a midweek night game with only a few travelling away fans

 

[Shrimper]

Wind deserves to start a game

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

Tomorrow will be the same as always. My excitement builds as I walk to the ground, get in early to watch the warm up and chat with family and friends. Atmosphere builds as the crowd starts to build up...then the football starts and it all turns to shyte.

 

[Holy Joe]

He was basic

 

[Shrimper83]

[WickfordShrimper]

I wonder if Adam Barrett will watching

Next 3 home games will define our season

 

[Smiffy]

So much rain, I wonder if the game is in danger of being called off.....

No chance. Games at RH hardly ever get called off due to waterlogging. The drainage is superb. I can’t remember the last such postponement.

 

[Sufc.2008]

We need to see 3 up front tomorrow, and not a pretend Maher 3 up front where one of the strikers is a midfielder in disguise!

Where has this been mentioned?

He won`t change! The man is not for turning
