There was a moment where he tried to be too fancy and lost possession which Oxford then ended up attacking and forcing a corner.
because no Southend player was near and wanted the ball!
Having seen the Borient team on paper it doesnt look anywhere near as experienced as ours + they will miss Chorley at the back.
Really? How wrong can you be? We have vastly experienced members of the team, namely Lee Cook, Martin Rowlands, Dean Cox, Lloyd James, Scott Cuthbert, David Mooney. The list goes on. The only real inexperienced players are Moses Odubajo and Mathieu Baudry (who probably are our best players anyway!) As for missing Chorley, not at all. He was the 4th best CB at the club. Cuthbert and Baudry, who will start tomorrow, are among the best in L1.
I've no doubt tomorrow will be a tough game for us, but get your facts right at least! The only bit you've got correct is that the pitch is indeed crap.
Wooo there , easy Tiger..................

Firstly Hernia boy i dont know why you are spying on our website .
Secondly according to Soccerbase stats your 11 have played just 1615 league games , ours have played 2132 .
Thirdly i played for you lot for 2 years alongside the likes of Lee Harvey in the 80's so i know a damn sight more about your soon-to-be-defunct club than you ever will about the mighty Southend.
so stick that up your pipe + smoke it .
:thump:
The fact is that Reeves has played 6 first team games this season including in the prem league, therefore on paper he would be considered a better player than any of ours or orients. If orient have been scouting us over the past few weeks they would no nothing of this lad. I would bring him in and play him as the attacking cm player with leonard holding and timlin and hurst out wide. I think that could do a job for us. I think reeves is a must from the short part he played on saturday.
However i think PS might bring straker in on the left, especially as their right winger is quick apparently and then a middle two of leonard and timlin. Most important part of this game is to still be in the tie at the end of 90mins. A positive result would be great, but a 1 goal defeat wouldnt be a disaster, just like Crewe last year....Oh wait a minute!!!!
Anyone think we might play /start with five in midfield, maybe corr or britt upfront on his own, or Harris.

Orient are certainly not to Brentford's standard
Didn't Jack Ruby shoot him dead in the 60s?
You're right there. Good enough to take 4 points of them this season, mind...
Well, if you got points for Cup games we've taken the equivalent of four points off Brentford too - but the FA Cup replay showed their class. A close thing over the two legs I reckon but this is the year we finally get to grace Wembley.
