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

[Yorkshire Blue]

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).

Given how this didn’t leak I’d be fairly confident they weren’t at training yesterday.

None of our current players have either

Have a great day out all.

Good luck to the lads and the new loanees!

Let's turn this around blues!

What’s wrong with oursongs

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 frien

What’s wrong with our songs, I thought they have been ok.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Come on you Shrimpers

Heading off later on to the match.

 

[palexander]

Had a dream we were holding out at 1-0 till last seconds and they got an equaliser.

Probably take that but felt like a defeat!

 

[Barling Magna]

So Saturday dawns, rather squelchily, but the rain should pass by this afternoon as we kick off against the mighty Boreham Wood. Hopefully we won't go two-nil down before starting to play like last year. At least we don't have to face Tshimanga this time.

The Wood have made a strong start this season so expecting a victory might be a bit optimistic but let's at least see some signs of progress and give the two loanees some time on the pitch. Come On You Shrimper Boys!!!

This is how I'd line up if it was Fifa but I don't think we have the IQ to pull that one off

I'd keep things simple and go with 442

 

[Leicester Shrimper]

It’s time for Rush and Dalby up front.

 

[johnlattimerssponge]

After last Saturday's disappointing trip to Daggers I considered following the match from the comfort of my sofa with updates from TV and Twitter so at least close to the kettle and the hard stuff if/when needing to console myself.

On Wednesday I weaken and bought a ticket and even though quite a damp morning looking forward to the game and hope we see some of the new loan signings and the week Maher has had with the squad we see some signs of improvement. Let's be loud and supportive today as personally I was disappointed by not only the team last Saturday but also some our comments base as although I understand why sarcastic chants and abbusive comments towards our players it just does not help !

 

[jimmy55]

Hope the Boys put in a good performance today, against a decent side. Be interesting to see what the two new loan players can bring to the team. UTB!!

 

[Magnum PI]

The loanees have to start. We are that bad that you have to play your best XI where you can. Looking forward to it - win lose or draw it's another day breathing in oxygen on an away terrace

 

[dusterman]

Enjoy all the shrimpers going to the game, hope they give you something to get behind!

Name the Team?

[Skyblue]

It looks a lovely tight little ground. Shame had we been anywhere near the other end we could have probably taken a few thousand as it only just around the m25. As things are, 500 tickets sold is a extremely good effort from our lot.

 

[Shrimper95]

Not sure about that team, would’ve preferred Bridge and Ferguson to start.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Borehamwood do have a lovely pitch tbf

**** club.

But nice looking pitch
