Official Match Thread Southend United vs Fleetwood Town

Odd line up, Atkinson and Hurst over Timlin and Worrall in particular.

 

[Pubey]

A couple of strange decisions (Atkinson for Timlin, Hurst for Worrall). But a very strong bench.

 

[Jam_Man]

Guess that could easily be 442 as well though with Weston up top.

Surely Timlin has an injury? C

 

[Jam_Man]

Would seem so

 

[Ricey]

Apparently it's 442 with Weston up top with Mooney.

CP says Brown says it's 4-4-2 with Atkinson and Hurst wide and Weston alongside Mooney. Very odd, would assume Timlin and/or Worrall have knocks or something.

 

[Ricey]

Della-Verde on the bench for Fleetwood.

 

[Jam_Man]

Other than Timlin cant complain with that.

Would be nice to see Weston do well, but do think his best position is wide.

 

[Trucking shrimper]

No Deegan in the squad either.

 

[bazzashrimper]

Not the line up I would have gone for, but let's see how it goes

 

[Ricey]

No Deegan in the squad either.

No great loss and if we sign Garven I can't see him getting much time unless we get lots of injuries.

 

[Bkdside]

In Brown we trust. Onwards and upwards! Here's to a good season!

You respond to the wrong post?

I assume you are talking about Deegan?

If we were to sign Garven then that wont affect Deegan, they play different positions. Deegan was never going to be a regular starter, he will be brought in as and when we need more beard steel in the midfield.

 

[Pubey]

still can't see us signing Garvan, he's quality.

 

[Medway Blue]

Pretty sure he'd be with a bigger/higher club and not training with us if he was out of our reach.....

Back onto the starting line-up and it's a bit odd for me, not what I would have gone for. Atkinson isn't a winger and Hurst hasn't set the world alight over the past year so can't see us providing much of a threat down the wings. I'd ave thought Worrall and Weston wide and Mooney/Hunt up top, but we'll see how it unfolds

In brown we trust! :winking: there are methods to his madness.

I agree, very strange. Hurst not shown much in pre season
