Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Peterborough United

[wakes123]

Firstly, and most importantly, it's my birthday on Saturday :smile:

In terms of team selection I'm slightly torn because I feel Wordsworth is going to have a break through game soon, but the team played well on Monday so don't want to make many changes to the starting line up.

I'd go with;

Bentley

White Rea Barrett Coker

Worrall Lenny Tims McLaughlin

Mooney Hunt

Let's get a win in front of the cameras.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Advance ticket sales look very poor for Saturday & I cant imagine Peterborough bringing many. Probably looking at less than 5,000 at the moment.
Makes you wonder if the club should have thought about a special offer for this game.

 

[mrsblue]

Same starting line up and Defo same formation during the first half against City.

We will be watching at home for this one,smoking and drinking watching the game is the way forward.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Can't see Brown making any changes after Monday's performance and he has no reason to. The only change I'd consider would be McLaughlin for Atkinson as we're at home and Atkinson didn't have a great game at Coventry.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Tough choice for me. The only change i would consider making would be Atkinson, as I think he is better suited to away games like Coventry.

I would either bring in Macca as a straight swap, or Wordsworth, pushing Timlin out left.

I am sure whatever PB does it will be considered as defensive, and if we lose it will be his fault, and if we win it will be entirely nothing to do with him.

 

[mattytheshrimper]

It has to be 4-4-2 thats for sure. This is a game we can win and get 3 vital points. If Hunt is ok it has to be Hunt and Mooney again. Atkinson is solid but I would rather have McLaughlin in to really show some intent, apart from that I would keep it the same as Monday.

 

[RobB11]

Yeah I agree with you Matt. As someone else has said, I expect Wordsworth to come good and the only player I'd think of dropping for him is Leonard at the moment.

Happy birthday for Saturday Wakes. I've done 40 years married on Sunday and Saturday, Sunday and Monday are taken up with going to see the Lion King on Saturday and then family gatherings on the Sunday and Monday............bummer.

Really disappointed that I'm not going after Monday's result. Your team looks good to me.

Posh lost to Bomber's Millwall in the JPT during the week and I am sure PB watched that (as Posh watched our game) so there ought to be few surprises. I haven't heard rumour of any injuries that will stop anyone starting (from Monday) so I expect PB to have the same again. And same for subs bench too.

The bench has to change since Weston & Smith will be away on international duty.

Sadly (or annoyingly) I miss the next two matches due to holiday in Cornwall.

Despite Maroon Blue's assurances that I could still get to both if I timed my journey a bit different, a clout with a rolling pin from Mrs shallow soon made me see otherwise.

Just hoping for wins in both games.

Like a win, and i think we are good enough if we play 442, but if we go 1 0 up, off will come a striker, then its all hands to the pump, as we try to hang on. Only imo off course, so i will go for 1 1.

I'm sure posh will bring 600 odd and there will be the generic 5-6k of home fans.

I'm thinking about 6500 which is not bad for league 1 game that's on the box

I still think come the end of the season we will average over 7k which will more than likely double that of the carrot munchers

 

[Chalky]

We will receive £36,000 in TV money for this game, which is nice extra quid in the bank. But if we can still achieve a good attendance that will be an extra bonus.:thumbsup:

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

This was my bad news day, shortly after the fixtures were announced and it was decided Sky were covering it. How long ago was it that we had TV for a League game (excluding Cup and play-off matches)? They go and choose the bloody weekend I'm working in Toulouse! :angry: My wife will provide me with match commentary from the home computer but the rare chance of seeing the Blues on live streaming goes out of the window. Not a happy bear.

40 years married and putting family events before footy - get a grip fella !
Congratulations on your land mark and hope we can get our first win that you can then watch at your leisure.
