Pre-Match Thread Boreham Wood FC v Southend United, Saturday 30th October, 15:00 k.o., NL

[Magnum PI]

You do wonder if we should go all out attack and try to out score them. To try and keep it tight with this team is asking for trouble.

And concede three or four down our left hand side…..

 

[Swiss Tony]

You can pay on the day yes.

Would that be in the away end too Smiffy?

 

[Rayleigh boy]

We are the mighty Shrimpers ..

A big club in a tin pot league ... with talented players and a great manager ..

Just need to drop Murphy and we will win comfortably 3-1 ... and go unbeaten to Christmas

I think we will get in the play offs ... win the play offs and be back in L2 next season.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST ;- )

My Facebook memory from the other day was from Sunderland away back in 2018. We lost 3-0, Coker did his ACL and the game before Hopper did his as well, but we played pretty well and should have had a penalty at 1-0. I remember sitting on the train home discussing how it was an unfair scoreline and we played pretty well.

I can take losing on Saturday but I want to see signs to be positive about and signs it might get better soon.

It also shows just how far we have fallen in three years. From visiting the Stadium of Light to now Boreham Wood and expecting to get rolled over.

I know that some of our fans have been getting upset at some of the chants that the away following have been singing of late, is there a approved list of what is ok to sing, along with what isn’t ??

Asking for a friend !!

 

[palexander]

Gonna totally revise my side from earlier with the 2 new guys coming in. I think Kev & co HAVE to put them in and also coming from a bigger club, i suspect they are probably used to playing a 352 so for this and to give them some experience around them, I can only see a 352 again for us.

No Bridge in that and I’d maybe swap him out for Phillips but also he hasn’t really had a break out of the side yet. And obviously depending on Ralph/Hobson fitness may need changes there with Bridge.

Time to shake things up a bit - try Howard and Ralph as wingbacks (Sayers if Ralph isn't fit). Ditch the old boys in central midfield and play Bridge more central. Can't really comment too much on Brunt but if he's better than Phillips in the opinion of the management then start him, if not he would be a good second half sub for Bridge or Phillips.

The management team talked about intensity and I don't get that from Ogogo or Dunne (or Ferguson for that matter!) so I think we need a bit more energy and initiative in midfield and rely on the defenders to defend (hence more defensive minded wingbacks).

Agogo out wide???? Walsh for Agogo and thats decent

I like this although would swop Dalby for murphy. Dalby does hold the ball up well so with Waslh, Brunt and Bridge playing behind him we would need someone to hold the ball up and bring them into play, not sure Murphy can play that role

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Agogo out wide???? Walsh for Agogo and thats decent

Bridge can play either flank so I am more a 3 midfield plus Bridge, to work his socks off then sub with Walsh

How long have the loanees been training with us for? Lopata sounds good but if he hasn't got to know how the rest of the back 4 play it could cause issues if he starts (although saying that the alternatives will probably ship goals anyway).
