Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Coventry City

[Massimo Giovanni]

Ricoh here we come!

We are a team that CAN make a mess of the "on paper" easy games and also do well at the "on paper" / form tough games..........so I am predicting a goal fest and Shrimpers winning 2-3.

HUNT

 

[RobB11]

Can't see the back 4 changing from Swindon game.

Midfield 5... Although, as we've been chasing McLaughlin seemingly forever and now he's finally here, I expect him to be on the bench, Phil Brown stylee.

RM: Worrall
CM: Leonard
CAM: Wordsworth
CM: Timlin
LM: McLaughlin

 

[mattitouk]

Historically equal stats over the years with 21 wins and 21 losses.

Im going for a 1-1 result

This should definitely be our midfield imo.

 

[wakes123]

Got a funny feeling we'll nick our first win of the season - Hunt 1-0.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Another in-form striker to watch in this one, Adam Armstrong has 5 goals in 3 games.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Got a funny feeling we'll nick our first win of the season - Hunt 1-0.

Indeed - if only because at some time, maybe through a deflection or some other twist of fate, we will be jumping up and down as the onion bag bulges.

Can't make this one now - and it is a ground I need to "tick off" as well - but feel we have so many options that Brown is bound to defy all predictions on this site and put out a team that no-one could have guessed.

Think Brown will go for the 4-5-1 and then change it round after 60-65 minutes and we will have the players on the bench who can put in a good claim for a starting XI place.

Brown: "Kevan’s not training today and at this moment in time he’s declaring himself injured. He's very doubtful for Monday."

[davew]

why is this match on Monday night ?

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

I hear we sold out our initial allocation of 400 tickets and second batch selling well. Hopefully we will have 650+ up there.
Pity the match is not on the Saturday as we would probably had nearer 1,000

I personally think that is too aggressive away from home and we may get punished. I wouldn't mind that at home though.

 

[RHB]

Mr Brown has some hard selection choices to make for this game, but that is why he signed a 3 three contract and gets lots of dosh! I'm going for the line up below, safe in the knowledge that it won't happen, because I left Lenny on the bench and that is not allowed.

**** it, I'm going for a 2-0 to the fluorescent yellows accepting that it will screw my prediction league forecast. Tell you what, I'm getting quite excited about our front line- up now.

I liked the 4231 against Swindon so is stick with that set up

Too aggressive? We need to score some fecking goals!

id take a clean sheet and a bore draw over loosing 4-3. One point could be the difference come the end of the season

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Can't see McLaughlin starting as didn't Brown state he was behind in terms of fitness?

 

[turkishm]

Away from home PB will play with one up top, and it will be a close game, that most likely will end up 1 0 to Cov. Everyone will say we played well and we should have come away with at least a point, but imo, ones again we will have trouble scoring.

 

[tallboyblue]

HE won`t play two left footed centre backs.
