Pre-Match Thread Bury FC vs Southend United

[Magnum PI]

Anyone remember beating Blackburn and then what happened against Newport? ... big test for Powell this..

 

[AndyT]

I agree with the view of putting our strongest side out.

Let's get to 50 points first and then go from there!

Completely different.

We changed the side around and the heart wasn't overly in the match. I'd have picked the Rotherham game as your comparison there 'magnum'.

Swap Ferdinand out for Kyprianou and Fortune out for Ladapo. Should be fine then.

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

I wonder how MAF's back is, after being charged from 6yds in what concluded an assault rather than a challenge on Saturday ? I'd like to see pace out there on Tues night, start with Freddie and Harrison up top, give Cox and MAF a rest and go for their throats, get behind Bury early.

I'm hearing that it's snowing a fair bit in Bury at the moment.

Can you hear snow that far away RHB ?

It will be fine i think on Tuesday night, Sleet in the morning, then raining in the early afternoon, and a tropical 1C in the stands for an evening kick off. Don't forget your thermals if your going!..and if so, we need to see you rate them on the match report thread.

Why? Ferdinand was terrific on Saturday.

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

Why? Ferdinand was terrific on Saturday.

I agree, he needs game time to build his confidence after that superb display Saturday.

 

[jarvisyeh]

Why? Ferdinand was terrific on Saturday.

I think it will depend on whether he is fit enough to play. He looked uncomfortable moving too fast after 30 minutes on Saturday. I hope he is fit enough as like you say even when he wasn’t moving all too well he still had a very very good game!

According to my Bury weather correspondents, they had 2/3 inches of the white stuff last night. Thermals not required by the way, not going.

According to BBC stats , Bury had 26 shots away at Bradford on Saturday with 8 on target.
Pretty impressive, as is their form for a side that’s bottom.
Tough game tomorrow , but one we can overcome.

Looking at that Bury team on paper and it is nothing short of criminal where they are in the table. If Lowe has got them playing as a team this will be very tough.

It wouldn't surprise me if other FL1 clubs fans were saying exactly the same about us 12 games ago.

Yes it's been pretty cold over the past couple of days with a good sprinkling of snow. Hopefully it'll all melt away over the next 24 hours because it looks like it's going to be another cold evening tomorrow.

Will definitely be wearing my thermals.

Road closures in the Bury/Rochdale area today which has prevented one of my employees getting to work... A postponement wouldn't be such.a bad thing. A lot freshens for a really tough game on Saturday...UTB:happy

Serious question as I will be going up tomorrow. What is a ‘road cluster’?

 

[IainMacintosh]

Massive banana skin, this one. Since Lucketti went, they've dramatically improved. It might be too late for what would be quite the Great Escape, but they're playing with a bit of structure now. I saw them when they lost 0-3 at Plymouth and they were fine for 15 minutes, conceded a desperately silly goal at a set piece and promptly went to pieces. They won't go to pieces now.

That said, I thought Wigan would beat us, I thought Scunthorpe would beat us and I wasn't massively confident about Peterborough, so it's entirely possible that I'm talking out of my bum.

 

[Shrimpet]
