We said after the Stevenage 1st leg that they were there for the taking second leg, we did just that but not before Stevenage gave us a very hard time. That Thursday night Southend produced something I have not seen before this season, and I don't mean 3 goals either. They didn't fold after Stevenage scored, in fact that appeared to spark a performance of guts, talent and persistence which I didn't think they had in them. I genuinely believe that Thursday convinced the Southend team that they deserved to win and deserved to go to Wembley to compete as equals with anyone put before them from the rest of the Division. As it happens its Wycombe, and truthfully, they deserve to be there after a really good season and especially after their two performances against Plymouth.

So, two very evenly matched teams who are going to go head to head and slug it out. Who's going to win? well before Thursday my heart said Southend, now my head has caught up with that opinion. I think it will be incredibly close, but there is only going to be one winner, and that is the mighty YELLOWS.

Here endeth my opinion.

Wycombe have found the goal scoring touch that almost swept them to automatic promotion. In a season where we kept over 20 clean sheets Wycombe put six past us. Will be very interesting to see if Brown goes to his almost default 4 5 1 to stifle Wycombe. Or keep with the 4 4 2 that has served us so well in the last 10/12 matches.
Personally I would stick with 4 4 2
Bentley
White Barrett Bolger Coker
Worral Timlin Lenny Atkinson
Piggy Corr

Looking at players.......white only appreciated when not in the team, defensively supreme, assists too
Coker, best left back in the league....fact
Barrett, league two play off winner, league two winner, league one winner, lower league success and experience that is so so vital to the young man playing next to him....Bolger, what a transformation since playing with AB they have formed a formidable partnership, my only concern would be the threat of raw pace for these two.
Worral, tenacious, quick, direct, I just think his end product has lacked of late.
Timlin, he has been outstanding in every department recently
Lenny....not his best season by any stretch but can produce big moments for us
Atkinson, has never tired during a game, ever, obscene work rate from start to finish
Corr, so close to legend status another player that gives you everything....can lack that goal at times but his goal return is good for a 'target man' a promotion with us should close the legend debate
Piggy....has goals in him as proven early in his stint, looked good on Thursday....good foil for corr.
