Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Rochdale, Saturday 15th February, 15:00 k.o., NL

[Strykr]

Id like to see a solid 3-5-2.

90% possession in our half only.

When we go a goal down make like for like subs or possibly take a striker off.



Seriously kev, just do what you did last week and go for it...

 

[Fairport]

Would be such a shame if it was frozen over meaning we'd have to play on a Tuesday evening

Do we have a statistically lucky shirt?

I remember we wore a purple shirt a few seasons ago regarding a polio charity. I think we beat Walsall something like 3 0. 100 per cent success.

 

[WestyReturns]

As others have said. Surely gotta be the same starting 11 again unless any injuries. Why would you change it?

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

If Kev reverts back to a defensive set up then there is seriously something wrong with the guy.

Same set up as Tuesday, get at them and get rid of the usual Saturday sh@t show.

Up the shrimpers.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Same again please Kev...

Think we’ll need to change it up as Rochdale like to control the midfield.

 

[cerbera45]

A little bit harder today (said the actress to the bishop..) but we can win this afternoon, definitely capable.

Thanks for this, but it strikes me there's not a lot between them.
Is that because we're better away where pressure is less?

 

[annie1954]

Did I read somewhere we are to applaud after 15 minutes for the poor lad that passed away

 

[kentblues]

Full of flu/cold so sadly won’t be in my seat later….not helped that it’s 90 mins there and 90 mins back. Will have listen then watch highlights….

Was tempted to come and give it to everyone but her Ladyship talked me out of it…

There’s not a great deal of difference between our home record (W6 D4 L5 Pts 22, =10th best in division in terms of points) and our away record (W5 D5 L5 Pts 20, =8th best in division in terms of points).

 

[Taters123]

Was this the game away that Wind was mom against their tricky/fast winger? I think so, will be interesting to see how Gus handles the same player

All the best from Madeira. Kent blues need to stick together , I shall be trying to bring up radio Essex. Tried to establish a VPN, gave up after an hour of trying to work my way through all the confusing set up stuff. Mind you this proves im not that tec savvy, but got a refund back

Excellent work you must be more nerdy than me even

I wont mention the evidence we should play in RED. Fortunately not too long until the Football Regulator is in place, just in case COSU latch on to your excellent research work !

 

[RHB]

Seems sick notes are the order of the day. Although we've both proved negative for Covid now, we are absolutely wasted and a lot of bones are aching a good amount. So we're swerving today, and see how we feel come Tuesday. Never had Covid before so not sure what after effects to expect. Absolutely annoying.

The after effects are you suddenly jump up and run around the living room waving your Southend scarfs in the air hope you feel better soon

‘Absolutely wasted’…. Cmon @RHB you know not to start drinking before 10:30 on a match day !
We’ve had it twice and must have got lucky - just mild flu sort of stuff.
Hope you make it Tuesday

Thanks for the pep talk mate. On the alcohol front, we both lost our sense of taste and it's only just returning now, so we've been T/T for the last 7 days.

I did that Tuesday night, and damn near killed Maurice the rescue cat from shock (he's 19)

At least taste is returning.
