I'm going for a Southend win. I'd like to predict a score line but I'm not pushing my luck. I do predict a tight game though with a 5000+ gate. COYB.
yeah I'm pushing it a bit eh:blush: still if they win they go top so they might make close to that:omg:302 from Burton? More like 32
Play anyone that had the pain of losing to this lot in the playoffs. They'll be no need for a team talk.
I actually think the team talk will be something like :
Howay Lads ! I wan ya t all poot a maarka doon taniyyt . When ye get tha ball , like , give it to the boy O'Toooole , he's rite magic like and i need tha lad to score otherwise i m gonna like a rite plonka for gettin' im in when even i already got more midfieldas than ive 'ad hot tanning sessions . John Joe , son , don't be shiyte lad and you take any free kicks or penalties..... ya canneee tackle like so just gooooal hang . Good luck lads! ....
I'd go with this:
Bentley
Thompson Bolger Prosser White
Leonard Timlin
Worrall Payne Hurst
Corr
Subs: Smith, Matsuzaka, Deegan, Bridge, Atkinson, Weston, Coulthirst
Back to Northampton: O'Toole
Thasts what Id go with but in a 411.

Good team talk , but I didn't realise Brown was Irish ?
Thasts what Id go with selection wise but in a 411, which isnt much different than that.
We can't score with 11 on the pitch what chance with only 7.
Yep , I'm all for a Straker recall tonight !
I clearly said 411 players, thats quantity, not formation obviously.

Is the pitch big enough for 411 players?
Most of the time, although its a bit harder to stay onside to be fair.
Yes he is.
At the risk of turning this into a pantomime - "OH NO HE ISN'T!"
The Football League deadline for accumulating 5 yellows is the end of November, it's only the Premiership that has a later date, so O'Toole is fine for tonight - as confirmed by this: http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/suspensions
That's a lot of midfielders.
