Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Oldham Athletic

[WESTY_SUFC]

There lies the issue, if Demi plays then the team would revert to a sort of 4 at the back.

Why? Demetriou had an excellent season for Walsall at wing back the season before he signed for us.....was known for his quality attacking play with them. Also has a history of playing right mid earlier in his career more than at full back.

I wouldnt mind seeing Bwomono ,Turner, White and Demetriou at the back but unlikely to happen

Sounds okay to me. And is the same as suggested by I_love_shrimp.

And still no room for Hendrie?

 

[LBBlue]

Which keeper will be on the bench Smith, Bishop or Bexon back from Austria?

 

[MK Shrimper]

Found out that two colleagues support Oldham last night, so I've got a whole £1 on this game.

Woo, steady on there!

Woo, steady on there!

I know. If I wasn't nervous enough. :omg:

 

[Tampa Blue]

I see PB has confirmed that Anton is playing - well I hope that he has a great game but find his selection a strange one from such an experienced Manager

 

[Rayleigh boy]

start with Ranger - bring on Fortune when we are 3 up ..

 

[RHB]

I just have a good feeling about tomorrow. Sooner of later we are going to convert a lot of our chances and I think it will happen against Oldham.

Oxley
Demetriou, Turner, Ferdinand, White
Kightly, Woody, Lenny, McLaughlin
Cox, Marco

Could be right

The view from Latics is that little Jack Byrne will cause us the sort of problems which our little Jack could cause at his best for us. And that the Davies and Doyle combo will be too much for our CBs. Clarkey could make an appearance if Anthony Gerrard is suspended.

I'm a celebrity. Get me in here (please Rio's brother and Mark's brother).

We all hope he has a great game and the selection isn't strange from such a stubborn manager!

... and more often than not, correct manager.

Don't feel so confident, today. Maybe it's because with a re-arranged game, the prize of winning is a big jump up the table (9th, if Rotherham don't beat Bristol Rovers this afternoon). Last season's two re-arranged home games we lost both!

Hopefully, we will put in the type of performance that kicks us on. Do feel, today, we need to score first.

I see from 'Chris' stats that we'll be around 6,000 today.

COYB! :happy:

Yep. It seems crowds are down this season. Maybe people are fed up with PBs negative tactics this season.

 

[AndyT]

I doubt it. There was nothing negative about last Saturday.

It's probably because it's :-

a) Near Christmas
b) Cold
c) Hardly interesting opposition
d) We had a game last week
e) There's three much bigger games coming up this month
f) It's a re-arranged match
g) The oppo will hardly be bringing any fans
