Official Match Thread vs Wet Spammers XI

[chapperzUK]

First XI: Bentley, Auger, Bennett, Clifford, Thompson, Barker, Eastwood, Timlin, Cowan, Corr, Payne.

Subs: Edwards, Chambers, Njie, Pinnock, Williams, Banton.

Adam Thompson from Watford is a defender on trial - possible loanee?

 

[Southend Pier]

As Tottenham and I pointed out too close to the season to risk unnecassary risks with injuries. mind you buggered up front if Eastwood picks up a knock. Barker playing cos he needs playin time in case hes needed in the league. why most ressies and youthis are mainly playing.

 

[Southend Pier]

No Jonathon Forte.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Surprised that he's playing Corr and Eastwood as would want to protect them for the League matches

 

[Ricey]

Unless he has a surprise up his sleeve and has Forte and another decent striker coming in? (We can all dream can't we)

Would have considered Seedy Njie for most of the match.

 

[Shrimper]

What is the betting that we pick up some injuries.

 

[shrimperjon]

100% agree, not sure why he doesn't play njie and Cowan upfront, don't give a flying **** what the score is tonight, but if Fred and BBBC get injured we are up the what a name without a paddle.

 

[simac21]

so who in the west ham team are we looking at? Turgott? Moncur? McCallum?

 

[Southend Pier]

I think Joe Cole. Guaranteed playing time which should with his quest to get vback in the England Squad

 

[Ricey]

Would have considered Seedy Njie for most of the match.

Agreed he needs as much game time as possible.

 

[Southend Pier]

Agreed he needs as much game time as possible.

Yes for fitness at this level and experience.

 

[chapperzUK]

so who in the west ham team are we looking at? Turgott? Moncur? McCallum?

Elliott Lee is a striker.

 

[Southend Pier]

Elliott Lee is a striker.

From what I hear Lee isn't too bad but just thought he'd be knocking on their squad door.

 

[Southend Pier]

And if he is knocking on their squad door would they want him loaned into L2?

 

[chapperzUK]

Barker at CB with Bennett LB. Cowan on the right and Payne on the left.

 

[Southend Pier]

Think Bennett prefably should have the rule run over him at CB.

This - agree 100% after all we have Coker, Straker and Prosser who can all play LB - need to know how good Bennett is at CB imho
