Pre-Match Thread Shrewsbury Town V Southend United

[yogi bear up the cagire]

BEST CASE SCENARIO?

I have to admit that on the prediction league I have us getting through to the play-offs by the fact Millwall will drop two points at Bristol. Yet, I don't know whether I really believe in what I've predicted! As we all know, it's Millwall's place in the play-offs to lose......win their last two and it doesn't matter what our results are.
However, let's go along with the idea of us continuing to play in May. I would venture to suggest, the best thing for us is to boost the clubs income and finish up as losing finalists. Why not promotion? Well, things (the new stadium) are not yet in place and the idea of us surviving in the Championship at Roots Hall, I don't think is viable. I know Burton are doing their best to keep up but Brighton is probably the best example, where their new stadium has proved the basis for the club's advance.
Of course, I'll be wishing us on to the Championship this season but if we managed it I would keep my serious concerns about us surviving and competing at a higher leve.

Maybe not such a bad thing for us if it that way going into the last game as the pressure will be off us and all on Millwall. In our promotion season and and this year we have been very good at chasing but have tended to stumble once in the automatic or play off position.

I don't know about anyone else on here but I don't know what to do with myself, I'm so nervous. I'm trying to take my mind off of it by doing things around the house but even that's half hearted :'(

I can't work out who the guy with the shaven head is.

Some of the near 1,300 travelling Shrimpers boarding coaches at Roots Hall this morning.

Hope they all had a great journey and cheer the Blues on to another away win. :thumbsup:

 

[Leoblue]

Ron certainly splashed out on some comfortable coaches.....

Who remembers going to Maidstone away on a double decker bus? And, Wayne Day ringing the bell all the way there :nope: That was a journey and half...... My ears are still ringing now.......:'(

I can't work out who the guy with the shaven head is.

Looks like Lee Harrison the goalkeeping coach. He also fancies himself as a motivator and third eye. So always chips in with a few comments to players.

Terry Alderton - reckons he might get a game in goal
