How do you think I feel, we have Dave the Shrimper in to talk to the company about pensions, which lets be honest isn't interesting at the best of times!!!
We can all thing of reasons why it will not go our way tonight and as I stared at my bedroom ceiling whilst having a restless night I came up with a fair few.
I have been looking forward to this match but when 7.15 comes round I will want it over quickly and for once I would be delighted with a boring 0-0 draw. But now as I sit in the office counting down the hour’s (10 at the moment) to our date with destiny I am trying hard to be a bit more positive so have come up with five reasons why Southend could be going to Wembley !
1) We start tonight 1-0 up after a battling performance at Brisbane Road.
2) Keeping a clean sheet may be difficult and I feel we may need to score to go through but we do have forwards still available that could get us a crucial goal.
3) We also have made some decent looking loan signings that offer us something a bit different and they might just make the difference.
4) Although we are short of players there is no doubting the spirit in the squad which will be vital in a difficult tie.
5) I was always brought up to believe dreams can come true so maybe tonight for some of us they might just do that !.
Please add more reasons if you can as it might help get us through the day.
UTB
Please tell DtS the Zone will be on a % of the massive commission he will make, especially as the owners make zilch from the Zone.
Thank you
Well, at least you had the One Day International to listen to!A sleepness night has been had. I'm 47; you'd think I'd know better ...... its only a game of football!!!
Injuries mean it is likely we will be missing 3 players who would be in our best starting 11.
Three! Is that all?
Southend are likely to be without: Cresswell (probably this season's player of the season), Phillips (last season's player of the year) Barker (Captain and player of the year the previous season), Mohsni (enigmatic Frenchman, but probably could be playing at a higher level and on his day a match winner on his own), Tomlin (This season's top scorer), Timlin (probably first choice midfielder), Laird (I know you don't rate him but he's been great for us since he signed), Spillane (signed for cash in January and ever present since)
Given that the first 4 names on that list are Central Defenders, it probably should give you a good idea of the extent of our injury/suspension crisis at the moment!
Can't see anything but an easy win for the O's tonight I'm afraid.
So what are we all meant to do today then? Nobody can expect us to do our normal jobs surely?
