Pre-Match Thread Tranmere Rovers v Southend United

[spoons]

Living in North Wales so easy 20 mile trip for us to Prenton Park tomorrow.
Good luck to Southend fans making the long journey.
No idea of team to play but Tranmere are an improving side and this will be tough.
I feel it will be a draw but obviously hoping for a win.
Weather has been awful up here most of today with persistent rain likely to last overnight and clear in the morning with light showers for kick off.

The good news is Tranmere wont know each other just signed Fenelon on loan ( striker ) from Brighton. Their 4th loan signing in 3 days!! ( 2 strikers)

I think we will start the same as last week but with Deegan instead of Payne, reverting to Phil's favourite 4-5-1/4-3-3.

I agree that's what he will play, not sure I agree that's what he should play though!

 

[IloveShrimp]

We will play for the draw or rob them 1-0 imo

Expect Deegan and Atkinson to play with one up front

This for me too - only one change from Hartlepool which is the obvious one of Binbag-Williams in for Thompson and the same set up. Really is time we started getting some continuity in the side and that side looks the strongest from what we have available to us - or at least until Barnard is back.

Would love to see Sokolik start instead of Prosser (nothing personal) as I like the idea of two good young centre backs establishing a firm partnership, but don't think Luke's done anything to warrant being dropped and there's no need to unnecessarily change a winning side.

Quietly confident about this one as we're on two straight wins and there's been little glimpses in the press that cofidence may be slowly returning amongst the players.

1-0 to the mighty mighty Shrimpers,very confident on this outcome.

You're putting Bolger out of position there, if anyone should be out of position then I'd rather have John at LB and Bolger at RB.

 

[rararblue]

Yes, I was unsure of that myself - maybe the back 4 could stay as last week except with Sokolik coming in as right back. Really don't want Binnom-Williams back though.

 

[Roxy]

We will play for the draw and they will rob us 1-0

Expect Deegan and Atkinson to play with one up front

This me thinks

 

[Magnum PI]

Browns flu will have cleared up, so expect more baffling tactics and panicked substitutions. 2-0 defeat after a brace of Weston missed penalties.

I have this feeling that the wheel may come off at Tranmere and we get a good hiding. Hope I'm wrong but I feel it in my water.:unsure:

You're putting Bolger out of position there, if anyone should be out of position then I'd rather have John at LB and Bolger at RB.

You're moaning about moving 1 player out of position (which he wouldn't be as that is his normal position) and then suggesting to have 2 players out of position!! :stupid you:

Unmmmm we're gonna get spanked ? Take a draw. Was it the 90/91 season where they scored after a few seconds. I don't have the stats but I'm convinced this is not a happy hunting ground for us. The table doesn't lie. We should not be losing this game. I'm on a plane landing at 530pm and expecting to read good news
