Starting Line-Up...

[EastStandBlue]

Flavs
Wilson Eagle Barrett Jupp
Petts Maher Gutts Benno
Lawson Gray

Not the most positive of lineups, i think he may be settling for a draw, which is fine by all means if the Blackpool were a decent side coming off a positive Christmas run of results... However glad to see Bentley in the squad as he looked dynamite against Bournemouth, and replacing Spinner with Eagle is a fair move as Spinner did look jaded last game.

Subs bench:
Wright
Eastwood
Spinner
Cole
Gower

 

[Grayson]

Perhaps Tilly is looking to hold out for 65 minutes before unleashing Eastwood, Cole and Gower to try nick it. Hopefully Lawson will aim for a place in the starting 11 at Oldham by getting a goal.

Another suggestion is Tilly is looking at a couple of squad players to help him decide what we need to bring in this month?

To be honest I really like the look of this line-up. Especially away from home. The midfield has a bite about it and I doubt it will get pushed around.

 

[Ulysses]

Rotation is good especially as this is the 4th game in a week, lets see how they go!

Come on Blues!

 

[Ulysses]

Petts only lasted 3 minutes, bad head injury Gower on!

Poor old Petts!

 

[Grayson]

Well that's my last 25 minute onslaught plan out the window

 

[Soton Blue]

Half an hour gone and all seems to be going ok. Quite a lot of noise from Blues fans. Come on you Mighty Blues!!!

 

[Ulysses]

Southend 1 Blackpool 0

Benno 39mins

 

[Soton Blue]

1-0 Bentley. Come on you Blues

 

[stickyboy]

the BBC text thing reads as though its mainly Southend doing the attacking, does the commentary agree?

 

[Ulysses]

Yes, plenty of possession. Flavs has made a good save though. Sounds like Gray, Maher and Gutts are all playing well.
