Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Walsall FC

[Bearded Shrimper]

Smith
White Innis Ferdinand Coker
Atkinson Leonard Wordsworth McLaughlin
Ranger Robinson

same as last game, all the other players have to fight to get in that team now.
I think McLaughlin makes everyone, especially Worthworth, better.

with this XI the bench will be as good as have ever got splinters in their bums while wearing Southend colours

I remember another "must win" game against Warsaw when we were facing relegation to Division 4. :sad:

Were we playing in Poland them days?

It's a mad idea, but my 10 year old son wants us to play this team today! I said to him that Robinson is a striker, not a right winger. He made a valid point in that Robinson did a lot of his good work on Tuesday at Coventry on the right channel, including setting up Ranger for the first goal. He isn't wrong and his pace is scary at times. I also said what has Atkinson done wrong, apparently nothing, but he isn't enough of a goal threat! Harsh, but I suppose you do get 100% honesty from kids!

Ask him if we are going to win today would you?

Kevan Hurst used to play for Warsaw and of course Franck Moussa is there today.

Two players that I thought were Poles apart........

Both played in the East (ern) part (block) of the country.

I'm still going for a 2 - 1 win for the Shrimpers in front of 7,300.

Interesting team selection (one natural striker only) - wonder what system we're playing?

 

[Tony Allen]

Hurst is at Guiseley now (where Penney is the assistant manager) and they are on fire

 

[LBBlue]

Hmm one up front !

One up front at home is suicide

 

[Leoblue]

I can only imagine he wants to keep it tight until the last half hour and bring on the pace and goal scorers. Different, I'll give you that but he obviously knows better than us.

Lets see how we do... DWB we haven't kicked a ball yet......

 

[ESG]

Two up front

 

[LBBlue]

No problem Wordsworth playing up front as well as Ranger

Really? I like the sound of that.

Maybe Macca will play up front with Ranger. I really hope we don't revert back to the 451/433 thing that doesn't work for us.

Just seems odd to drop Robinson.

Wordy up front. Robinson not 100%.

I quite like the look of the shape... You wanted to see Amos, lets see what the kid's got.
