Don’t know if this has already been posted but unbelievably, we’re slight favourites at 11/8 to win on Saturday, with Oldham 2/1.

Has that been confirmed?

 

[Jack_23]

Has that been confirmed?

They wouldn’t of been able to play in friendlies if they weren’t registered

Assuming we don't bring any players in on non-contract terms of course.

Should we dip below 16 registered players.

Can't see anything but defeat, especially against a favoured side this season.
Had this been Maidenhead, I might have wavered.
But I think this is going to end in tears - and dependent on matters off the field, a vale of them right through to April.

Why ending in tears if we loose the players will have given 100% they can only do there best at this terrible time until Kevin can bring anyone in

SOUTHEND United have permission to stage Saturday’s match against Oldham Athletic - but the attendance could be lower than normal .

...because as much as the team will try, it's lacking resources, and until they arrive, there are likely to be a few defeats. At the end of the day, a defeat is a defeat.
Sorry...

A couple or a little threesome in the door Friday morning

That would be brilliant if it happens. Fingers crossed! LCB, RWB and CF?

 

[JB Shrimper]

Hobson own goal and a nice 1-0 please

Let’s see.

i believe atm yes. But if Mooney leaves that’s 2 and then if Lomas injury is bad and won’t fit until our court case then we can unregister him and we will then have 3 spots available
