Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Leyton Orient

Good team that, apart from Ferdinand.

No way he'll play tonight.

Probably King for him.

yeah wasnt sure about the other CM place to be honest.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Lenny will play, I'm pretty sure of that. The lad is an absolute engine that never fails.

Ferdinand wouldn't play in midfield, I wouldn't have thought, anyway.

Possibly, Lenny, as OBL says.

Be interesting to see the personnel and system for tonight.

Last season, PB used the Crawley game to try out the diamond system, which he then used to good effect for a few games after that.

For real? He's been poor this season

 

[OldBlueLady]

By his standards possibly, that's because he's had to do too much covering. Last couple of games he's looked more comfortable, but I was talking about his stamina.

Fitness wise, yeah, I'll give you that. Scored a cracker last week but if you were summerising his season so far it would be average at best which is sad because he's capable of so much more

The boycott of this farcical tournament remains firmly in place. No one I know is going to any of these matches ever. It's an irrelevance.

 

[AndyT]

Unless we get to Wembley, then there'd be about 35,000 going.

what if Nile Ranger played? Would you go then?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Just over 4,800 tickets sold for tonight.....:omg: plus some O's making the trip....guess the attendance ? 6,021 IMO

 

[AndyT]

Hmmmn, very interesting.

* strokes chin, thoughtfully *

... and how much would you be prepared to wager on that, Mr B? :winking: :net:

No one I know went to the Brighton game, there's a few going tonight as its against a 'proper team' and I understand their stance on that front. However I still wont be going and neither will I be for any other EFL Trophy game. I think it would be quite amusing for the final of this trophy this year to be between 2 academy sides and Wembley will be empty

No. The less oxygen given to that revolting character the better.

nah, that 4800 includes tickets unavailable due to closed stands.

I would go as far as a family bag of jelly babies against your ?????

 

[Tommy2holes]

So it's essentially a jpt game against the o's and people are boycotting why?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

nah, that 4800 includes tickets unavailable due to closed stands.

Aaaaaah I see, was just going on the ticket sales, didn't take into account closures......could be a very clumsy (albeit very optimistic) assessment :thump:

 

[SUFCStu]

So it's essentially a jpt game against the o's and people are boycotting why?

Because the cup is still a farce.

 

[AndyT]

Damn you 'rabbit'.
I was in for a bag of jelly babies there, if it hadn't have been for you meddling kids! :thump:
