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

[Sussexshrimper]

I'm actually able to make this one. Any other Zoners going to be in the Blue Boar, pre-match? It'd be nice to put one or two faces to names.

I will around 12 sussexshrimper

I never go in the boar anymore.

Too claustrophobic and cramped in there.

I'll be in the railway

History tells us when the pressure is on and backs are against the wall, these lads are at their best. Backing them to get a result today.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

I'd heard he was rested from training with no scan required, so it was not deemed a serious problem and had a 50/50 chance of playing. Touch and go .....

Time will tell, say, 2.15pm, but hammys?
Watching Kev's body language and the hurried way he said they were working on him suggests otherwise.
Would be great if Taylor came good, but not if he has to limp off again after 20 minutes.

Considering our current situation with central defenders, and the limitations what's out there till January, I would say it's a big risk not worth taking. But let's see.

I go in the Boar on week nights on home games as they do happy hour 3pm to 6pm

But on Saturdays the Railway is best.... Nice big beer Garden on sunny days like today ... Lovely

I fear a ‘terrible beating’ today

@thenobster Is it time to remind some of those immortal words "we're going to get spanked"?

RIP Harry

Tell your missus to be more gentle with you.

Thanks for the replies @Tommy2holes @Sussexshrimper @rigsby

I haven't been to the Railway since I played there with my band in the 1980s. This tells you I'll be a relatively older geezer, wearing a silver and grey Avec replica training top (2010? - I can't remember the vintage). That's how you'll identify me if you fancy saying 'hello' to a fellow Zoner/non-moaner.

It sounds like the Railway is the place to be...

The Railway is a lot better.

If you can persuade the meat head numpty door man that you’re a Southend supporter. I wore a home ahirt a few games back and he still wanted ID! I didn’t have any and living in Suffolk, I don’t see what difference it would have made anyway.

And presumably your tractor will be just outside as well ................. [raised eyebrows;groan]

I don't know what is wrong with some of our support. [sad face]

We are at home.
We have a good group of players.
We have the big crowd backing them all day long.
Kev will ask the team to step forward and take responsibility ........... and I am sure they will.

Fact. End of. [smiley face]

 

[glenmaster]

Expecting a footballing lesson today, but there's always a chance that our good team shows up, and we spring a surprise. On our day we are capable of beating anybody in this league.

I'm merely on loan to Suffolk. A Tractor Boy I am not. I'll be driving down in my XR3.

I hope their lesson is similar to their last away game, that ended well.

 

[Leeboy]

so as me and my son are missing our first home game of the season, we’re struggling with injuries & suspension, and historically we always do well against better, footballing sides - we’ll win

It won’t be this but …
