Will the rain save us this weekend and force a cancellation?

Nope… not raining now and sunny tomorrow (apparently).

GATESHEAD midfielder Regan Booty is striving for more happy memories of Southend this weekend.

I remember a fan who used to wear a privately made Martyn Booty sweatshirt to games.

Wouldnt have been a 'mad' fan would it?

Kev's pre-match interview suggests he's trying to get a couple of bodies in, but 'not sure that will happen by the weekend.'
In manager-speak he all but confirmed Taylor's absence, and Walker being used as a sub to manage him back was also made clear.
Miley and Waldron's return is some time away, but Coker's done a little work on grass.

It seems tickets are quite slow for this one.

Only about 150 sold since yesterday afternoon

Still hoping for 6500 on the day with about 30-40 from Gateshead.

4 4 2 makes a lot of sense to me - for how many seasons (back all the way to Phil Brown & even under Tilly at times) we have put round players in square pegs rather than changing the way we play?

I know, I know - not a popular point of view - but there it is.

For the record I think kev will either go gus at rcb or wind...stick with 3 at the back.

Trouble is inconveniently most teams now play with three in CM. When we have tried it we usually get overrun.

Moot point as we work on and the whole team is set up to play 352- vanishingly small chance of us going 442. Gus or Wind will be RCB
