Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Wigan Athletic

[BrettieAngell]

poo club, they more interested in there rugby:omg:

once a small club, always a small club!

 

[kentblues]

So I was thinking- take the starting 11 today and then another 11 not starting...really brings home the strength in depth PB has built

Bentley
White Thompson Barrett Coker
Atkinson Lenny Timlin Hurst
Payne
Mooney

Smith T
O'Neil Rea/Bolger Prosser McLaughlin
Worrall Deegan Wordsworth Weston
Hunt Pigott

And not sure which of those two sides would win if they played each other!

Can only be the one enforced change surely.

I think it will be 1-1 (Payne and Revell!)

Problem is, we all choose a different starting eleven. When did we last say "The team picks itself"?

Well I guess that's exactly the point when I say strength in depth- theirs no sense of first XI and reserves.
If all were fit today the team I am sure would be different but I am not necessarily more or less likely to get a result (perhaps with the exception of a fit Hunt)

It'd be 1-0! Not sure to which team though...

 

[Firestorm]

For me, the question is do we go like for like when relacing Worral, ie Mclaughlin or Weston or change the style slightly and put Atkinson wide and bring in Timlin? **
I would change as little as possible and bring in Mclaughlin.
**assuming these are fit

I am sure!Just leave out Prosser and team B would be stronger in just about every department,maybe not in goal yet.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Glen Rea will play where ?

I'm guessing central midfield with Atkinson out wide.

Hasn't filled me with confidence tbh. Atkinson goal this week aside rarely gets forward.

rea to act as the defensive midfielder in front of the back four, to many defensive players as we are playing at home, we don't need a back 5 at home.
