Pre-Match Thread Bromley v Southend United, Sunday 26th December, 5.20pm KO, NL (Live on BT Sport)

[Chris Powell's mate]

Bromley had 6 or 7 last week in the cup and played a number of their under23 players.

Thanks for this, but it doesn't answer how many need to test positive, even given the example?
I know for a fact there are two positives each at two different EFL clubs with games called off, but maybe the NL make up their own rules as they go along?

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Sorry 3G.

Thanks, and "drat, darn" but still same team as they will need better, younger, ball skills and pace.
Walsh will be needed sub.

 

[Ricey]

Wrong clifford over loparta

Wrong

 

[stewart]

Arnold , Demi Hobson, Ralph, Clifford
Dunne
Gard Brunt Philips
Murphy Dalby
subs White, Ndi, Dennis, Walsh Kinali.

I have a spare ticket and a space in the car if anyone wants it let me know. More than welcome!

 

[stewart]

I believe Lopata is still iinjured otherwise i would have him in the team. I went with a 4132 formation ,with Dunne playing just in front of the back 4 with gard ,brunt and philips in midfield Murphy and Dalby as strikers
Dennis on the bench as sub striker ,Kinali has showed he can play midfield so i would have him on the subs bench also with White and Walsh and Ndi ,a lesson learnt i think about not having a sub keeper on the bench .

Minimum target is to lose by less than four goals or we'll be in the relegation place again. I'm hoping for a draw but....

That’s very generous. But I’m not sure a schoolboy should be making such offers....

 

[Blue Yonder]

After all the negativity I think a lot of fans going today will be positive afterwards….

 

[wiggy]

Is it still on?

Is it still on?

Haven’t heard anything to say otherwise.

Doubt it would be off if the pitch is 3g.

Just a case of pushing any surface water off

I live about a 20 min walk from the ground. It’s raining but due to stop by about 2pm. The only way this game will be called off is for Covid absences in either squad IMO.

 

[Shrimper]

Big game. Whole country will be tuning in, desperate for televised footie

 

[Cricko]

It has got to be better than these old results on Boxing day. Fancy scoring 6 away and still losing. ?

Boxing Day 1963 had a lot of goals but those results aren't real, it's Paddy Power messing around. The actual results were these:

Ruined it,

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Bromley are a good solid well oiled side who score goals for fun whereas we are the opposite and playing on a pitch which isn't at all familiar.

I really can't see us getting anything out of today's game and am not regretting watching it at home but we all know Southend so a freak win wouldn't surprise me either.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Impressive, isn't it, that only 10 from 33 fixtures survive in Leagues 1/2 and the NL, with the majority (six) surviving in the latter, including ours.

Do NL teams know something about Covid immunity that bunch from the EFL don't?

Do they allow flags in do you know?
