Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Southport, Saturday 4th January, 15:00 k.o., FAT(4)

[RHB]

Frozen pitch looks a possibility,did I read somewhere we have now invested in heat lamps?

You did, if I remember correctly it looked like a row of heat lamps on a stand, specifically for the South Stand goal.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Would you go if we got to the final?

Of course.

I'm not saying I don't want blues to win but let's see it for what it is.

It's a tin pot trophy that we find ourselves in because of financial mismanagent.

Would we enjoy a Wembley undoubtedly but our main focus should be on chasing down 7th spot. Personally I think we will finish about 12th.

For our club, that's a poor effort in a mainly poor league.

 

[Tony Allen]

It's the battle of the Souths except one is up north

 

[Shrimper]

It's a pony trophy with a 60k prize money for the final.

Yes it's a title but I'd rather give some fringe players a chance

It's a trip to Wembley, we don't get those often.

It would be an unbudgeted £60k should we win it. That would come in handy for COSU I am sure.

Exactly and we'd take over 20k, would be amazing for the players that stuck with us through the rat induced nightmare.

Bespoke tailor for the squads Wembley suits will take a fair chunk of that

 

[Cricko]

Of course.

If you think we are going to finish in 12th place, why would you not be interested in a good cup run?

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

Of course.

Surely12th and a trophy win is better than just 12th.

As one of my SZ posting colleagues regularly states,‘let’s smash these two Bob mugs’..
start off strong, early subs once we’re 3 ahead… sit on lead and ride our luck.. like we normally do

So if you will go to the final why sneer at the at those of us who are going tomorrow. The club will be making money from ticket sales not just prize money if you win it.

Mr Byrite’s now we are non league

They are currently searching Vinted for the Liverpool white suits

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

Let's hope IF there was to be a pitch inspection it'll be done in advance and not last minute.

Hoping it'll be ok as I have a good feeling about the game tomorrow

Edited that for you !

 

[They Call It Madness!!!]

Cannot see is changing formation but I would make wholesale changes knowing that we have played a few days previously.

Collin

Wind

Crowther
Golding
Gubbins

Bridge

Miley
KAF
Morton

Bonne
Waldron

This team is good enough to beat anyone in our league, let alone a team in the league below.

Gets people minutes at the same time as allowing them to prove a point.

Bonne hattie incoming with 1 from Waldon in a 4.0 win.

I'm loving my dreams at the moment...

 

[Swiss Tony]

If it’s a draw tomorrow is it pens or replay? Many thanks in advance.

Thank you CS much obliged.
