Pre-Match Thread Southend Utd v Oxford Utd

[Southend Pier]

A quick fire pre-match thread so soon after a match as obviously the yellows come to town on Monday Night.

I have read that their Chairman has said their new manager will be in place for this match so we need to be aware they may well be geared up for this one. not to mention their 3 points with the not so bad Hartlepool stirring up more confidence possibly.

Other thoughts please.

Could this be yet another 'must win game?' :winking: In all seriousness, without a WIN on Monday night the immortal phrase comes to mind, "they think it's all over.........it is now!" For those going, if we don't get the three points, stay in your seats after the final whistle, I understand there is some post-match entertainment planned.............a certain large lady is going to sing. I think I've made my point!
Difficult to drop either Egan or Sokolik after the last couple of performances. We've got to start Loza, with either of the two other 'liabilities'. Probably an idea to throw on Straker and see whether he frightens Oxford........if he frightens US more than the opposition, change him for Payne at half-time. Hurst is woefully out of form but he won't regain it sitting on the bench...........anyway, we don't have too many options, do we?

Our dire form must change at some point.

Surely :dim:

 

[Shrimper]

We'll lose. 2-1 Oxford.

Maybe if there's less crowd there might be less "pressure" from them......clutching at straws perhaps?

Just don't understand what happened to that team spirit pre Hull...

 

[leeblue]

0-0 that is all

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

In stating that I want Loza to start, it's not that I wish to put pressure on his young shoulders nor am I totally convinced that he will make any difference.........it's just that, viewing the other options, he seems the best bet.

He's got pace to burn that's for sure.If he does start Staker should play too.

Yes indeed.......see the comment in my first post above.

It has now got to the stage of just try something different,anything, as what we are doing isn't working. For sure drop Hurst, and I have seen nothing from barnard and his body language is all wrong. We need 'winners' and he doesn't look like a winner.

Watching it on a stream. Not paying to watch them ***** pretend to be footballers until we win again.

You could drop anyone in the midfield or forward line at the mo but then the back ups an subs are doing naff all when they get the chance. How can we go from trouncing Millwall and Chesterfield to barely mustering a decent chance against some godawful teams.

 

[manor15]

Gary Waddock appointed their new manager.

Ken, are you basing that on empirical evidence, the laws of chance or have you been down the seafront, studying the seaweed?

 

[MK Shrimper]

Not sure I can be bothered to watch a dodgy stream let alone a live game. Totally out of love with SUFC, possibly even more so than when Sturrock was manager.

Can you blame people for not wanting to go?

Chin up MK, we're gonna do this the Southend way! Eight wins on a trot.......77 points.......and sweep into a Wembley Play-off Final...................

























.....................and lose:smile:

 

[Southend Pier]

Todays results as far. Pompey 0-1 York
Accy 0-1 Plymouth

As things stand 2 places below play-offs in 9th. 4 points short of 7th.

There's not wanting to go and then there's saying you'll only go when we start winning again!
