It's only a Wet Sham Xl ? you probably won't know any of them ?
This is going to be complicated by the Maidstone cancellation.
Don't be surprised if there is now a need to have a better (longer) look at the potential loanees. Meaning quite possibly less/no game time for Murphy, Rush and a couple others.
Or PB wont be ready to make a sensible decision Mon..
Did he say this before or after the Maidstone cancellation? Suspect he will get less minutes than planned.Murphy will be starting against West Ham so Brown says
Yes thats not good is it. Id like to see pre season being used to form partnerships and developing an understanding with the players that are more then likely going to be 1st team regulars.This is going to be complicated by the Maidstone cancellation.

Lets hope they open the South Upper , so that all those who turn up at the ground at 7.40 pm expecting to just get in time for kick off can be herded round to there rather than cause total chaos trying to find seats in the East whilst the rest of us are trying to watch the match
Cant believe the club havent made a big thing about the 7PM kick off ...... NOT 7.45!
I disagree. The least the club could have done was hire a small plane from Southend Airport with a banner in tow and fly round the town for a couple of days.Maybe it's just me but I don't really get your point.
The game is listed as 7pm why do the club have to make a 'big thing' ?
If I buy a theatre or cinema ticket then I check the time it starts
It was also mainly our youth team involved that night if I recall, with the addition of a few pros. Basically much like our squad for most of the start of last season, and you would hope we are in a much better position now.A few people knocking the opposition must have forgotten when a few of their youth players tore us apart in the checkatrade trophy. We are even further down the pyramid now. Won't be as easy or pointless as some think.
We also can't forget, it's a preseason game. It doesn't mean we'll smash the league if we win but also doesn't mean we'll be relegated if we lose. All about fitness and getting match sharp.
We will get spanked tonight
But it's all good practice for the season.
