Official Match Thread Southend v Brighton U-23s

[Tangled up in Blue]

Surely that's a 'please sack me' selection.

Not going Ray? :winking:

so 5 defenders plus a defensive midfielder player in Atkinson and no wingers against a bloody schoolboy team.
just about sums Browns up when it comes to trying to attack/score a goal !!

Elsewhere I see Exeter manager Paul Tisdale has named himself (aged 43) and a 15 year old on their bench tonight!

Top man, holding the competition in the same contempt as most of us.

his only 43 ? Wtf:omg:

Don't understand why we're not starting Williams.

Reminds me of RH mid 1980's!

Don't understand why we're not starting Williams.

maybe because PB wants to see us score? :-)

Yeah, 13th March 1986, to be exact.

Not going Ray? :winking:

This is the only home game I have missed since we started going nearly 60 years ago that was not because of illness or work or family commitments.

I have been to Gillingham 8-1, Notts County 6-2, Carlisle 5-0, Aylesbury 1-0 and even the most gutless performance ever - 4-0 (should have been ten) at Wigan last season but being made to play Brighton (yes Brighton) kids is too much even for me.

Everyone who agreed to vote for this fiasco should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

We're up in Preston preparing for the Bolton game...................

I don't know who's doing the commentary for BBC Essex, I'm not sure I can bare to listen to him for 90mins.

Clark's keeping me in it...

A minute before kick off and the crowd is heaving!

In a "I'm gonna be sick" kind of way?

 

[usa_shrimper]

Yeah the changes in the competition have killed it.........previously in the 1st round of the JPT we have played to a full house:dim:....

 

[Bobby dazzler]

[Special Blue]

his only 43 ? Wtf:omg:

Currently driving wife and daughter around pokemon hunting. It involves driving to old leigh and a couple of shandys in the pub whilst they catch pokemon
I think I get the best deal tonight

Is there a game on tonight ?

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Commentary sounds as exciting as the game! :sad:
