Official Match Thread Exeter City v southend United

[RHB]

Ok chaps and chapesses, here you go..........................

Blues: Bentley; Leonard (c), Bolger, Barrett, Coker; Atkinson, Deegan, Timlin; McLaughlin; Pigott, Cassidy. One change - Leonard for White

Substitutes: T. Smith, Worrall, Corr, Weston, Hurst, Payne, Binnom-Williams.

About what we thought would happen, I think. COYB

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Think Corr may have been better suited to an away game holding the ball up, but Piggy and Cass deserve another go after Tuesday. Corr to come off the bench to net the winner against his former club.

It's harsh on Corr but you can't blame Brown for wanting to keep the same team that dominated Newport.

What has happened to Prosser? I prefer him to Williams on the subs bench

 

[AndyT]

Yep, exactly the side I think he should have gone for.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

It's will be one of our hardest game of the season, my only hope that we can keep our top 3 hope alive. We haven't won 5 in a row for a long time! Last time we did, was under Tilson & Brush!

True, and maybe it will work in our favour, I think they both deserved to start after the Newport game, I think brown's plan is, if we are winning after 55-60 mins, bbbc will come on for the last 30+ minutes to hold up the ball, slow down the game, feed the pig or cass or produce his magic against a tired side (subs and injuries pending of course).

UTB :happy:

Suspect it's the same reason he got ahead of Barrett on the bench, he can play any defensive position whilst Prosser can't so it makes for better injury cover.

One change for Southend United against Exeter City as Ryan Leonard starts

SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made one enforced change to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s clash at Exeter City with Ryan Leonard replacing the injured John White.

More...

 

[mattitouk]

According to the Exeter fans website, they have 4 strikers on the bench, so looks like they are going to come out all guns blazing!! risky business though, hopefully they will have a defensive injury or 2, and have to bring on their strikers out of position.

 

[RHB]

Got a feeling this is going to be a 'high drama' match. I hope we keep 11 players on the pitch.

 

[AndyT]

Here we go .. C'mon you Blues!

Got a feeling this is going to be a 'high drama' match. I hope we keep 11 players on the pitch.

Think BBBC's safe on the bench? :winking:

 

[united we stand]

What has happened to Prosser? I prefer him to Williams on the subs bench

Could not agree more. And based on Tuesday I don't know what Brown saw to convince him

 

[sufclee]

Fair to say that they are all over us!

Luton 2-0 up
Stevenage 1-0 down to 10 men Accrington

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

We need to get our act together before we goes behind as we look likely to lose today after 20 mins!! PB must act to tell the players to get an grip of the game!

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

The scores going against the scums, if they lose at home to Scunthrope, it's curtains for them & will be partying whatever the score at Exeter!!
