Pre-Match Thread ❌POSTPONED❌: Southend United v Barnet, Tuesday 28th December.

[blueblueblue]

Says to me the club have probably asked for it to be postponed and are awaiting the Yes/No from the league.

Yes, I forgot we're playing them twice over the next week or so.

Well looks like it's Turkey sandwiches, a couple of whisky's and Football Manager 22 for the day instead!

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

That’s a shame. There’ll be one hell of a fixture pile up later in the season! It does, as others have said, give us a bit of time to sort out things off the pitch.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Bromley will be off too.

Not good for our finances

Only 3 home games in the last 6 weeks ( inc the Dorking Trophy game, with a sub 2k attendance ), & if Bromley game also off, add another week to that.
Also when Barnet game re scheduled for a cold Tues night, crowd will be lower than it would have been tomorrow, so more revenue lost.
Cash flow must be zilch?.

I think the young man coulson should start, he has a bright future ahead and was a great pickup in the summer , scouted and brought in by martin himself no doubt

I take it your response was based off the 20 minute cameo where he had nothing to do last night?

Shush please he was calm and composed on the ball won his headers and had the pace to deal with there striker

Two games rearranged for after the embargo is hopefully lifted - that's handy.

Also two of the likely biggest attendances of the season. Cash flow is the reason for our troubles and neither of these postponements will help at all.

… and no Zak Brunt now presumably..

 

[crangoner]

I wonder if we'll see a rearrangement for January. Would be 8 games in that month, if so (providing Bromley and Weymouth do go ahead). Squad management is going to be key. Will be shame to see the Trophy game, probably, get shunted to the back of the priority list. However, there are some winnable games at the back end of the month, and the focus should rightly be on those.

no one knows what will happen with young ZAK maybe Curry can work his magic again .

 

[LCBB72]

Perhaps Kevin will give his old mucker Shawn Goater a ring now he is back at Man City .

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

Are we able to re-sign the Sheff Utd lads (as we are under an embargo) even if we wanted to ?

What embargo? I haven't seen anything about an embargo.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Presumably the game was called off due to club not having sufficient players to play.In which case due to the Bromley game being on Sunday I cant see that going ahead as well.

One of the first signs of Covid is a sore throat! I had that and a gruff voice before getting cold symptoms. I tested negative for 4 days before getting a positive result. Was not one of our players on the subs bench because he had a 'throat infection'?

This time of year is rife with sore throats normally - sore throats are a common thing!

Same here. Started as a sore throat. Very mild cold symptoms afterwards.
