Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Gateshead, Saturday 28th September, 15:00 k.o., NL

[Target man]

Lots of people suggesting about Wind at left back, Gus at centre back, etc, but it's not conclusive both Ralph and Taylor are out for Saturday.

As I understand, Ralph's suspension only kicks in after 7 days of the 5th booking (see rules below), so he would be possibly available. Taylor, I believe is 50/50 at this point.

JOE Gubbins is confident Southend United’s depleted defence will be good enough to deal with Gateshead at Roots Hall on Saturday.

I think the rules are a bit confusing the way they are written and are being explored. He'll have to serve his ban for sure either this or next week, but if we can get around them it might give us a bit of time.

Not sure where you’ve sourced that, but The FA’s Disciplinary regulations state as follows:


The National League, together with the Premier League and EFL, is in Category 1, so a suspension for the accumulation of cautions or a red card commences immediately.

Suspensions in National League North/South and below, right the way down to grassroots, commence seven days after the date of the offence.

Nathan Ralph’s suspension is confirmed on The FA website here: https://www.thefa.com/football-rule...ubdiscipline?status=0&league=28&club=10607787

Regrettably so and is what gives rise to the notional of a frivolous appeal to delay, and the associated further penalty if unsuccessful

Sooner we get out this crap league the better.

Dont think I would move Wind to left back , especially as he plays on the right and Kevs already said hes doing well ( ) behind Gus and i suspect thats going well in practice too, Hes looked pretty good to me so far and with good potential

"Full-back George Wind could provide another option if needed for the Shrimpers.

And Maher confirmed the summer signing was in contention for his first start.

“It's been difficult in terms of the minutes he's been able to get so far,” said Maher.

“Obviously Gus has been doing brilliantly but George has trained really well.

“He's someone who has to come into our thinking for Saturday."

He's been so impressive when I've seen him play. They always seem to have a good CAM, it was Wearne before him. I'm sure it was stated on here that we were linked to Booty at one point. I still think we are missing that type of player. Keeping him quiet will be high on the agenda, a lot goes through him.

I'm waiting for Moncur to ignite in that role. As good as he's been, the final shot has been off. He had two great chances on Tuesday and leant back and had the wrong body shape. I'm just hoping once one goes in, the rhythm will stick.

What! Isn't he playing? If so, we might get a point.
Something tells me we don't have a choice, or is that chance?

i'd stick with a back three with Wind on the right of it and keep GSM in his natural position. Give either Moncur or Noor a rest and start with the two up front.

Only concern is you're sticking a RWB who hasn't started a game at this level out of position at RCB. It's fine going forward, he'll go out to the RB position that Taylor covers GSM with, but defensively I think it will leave us weak.

We can all do better. By spelling Collin correctly.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Tough choices and for sure The Amigos will have been chewing on this since before Tuesday BUT the Taylor injury will have thrown those ideas into a new mix.
How about Noor playing as a sweeper in line with Gubbs and Crowther? He reads the game, not slow, and can make a tackle?

I think it will depend on whether Wind has ever played at RCB before. We know Gus has so needs must if Taylor, as suspected, doesn’t make it.

Oh ye of little faith voting for Southend to lose!

The defence will clearly have a different makeup to usual, but keep the faith. Maybe Gus RCB, Crowther CCB and Gubbins LCB with Wind RWB? Yes it’s not ideal but in the circumstances…

Smacks of Chesterfield last year. The defence will be shored up for sure, but if they score 4, we'll score 5.
