I'm feeling really confident about this one, so i reckon it will be Burton 3-0 Southend.

That back 4 will give me nightmares till the end of time.

The centre back pairing and non tackling centre midfield is worrying.
Still we all see different things in players and Sol may want to do formations, teams not tried before as what has been tried hasn't worked.

 

[Evening Echo]

SOUTHEND United manager Sol Campbell feels the Shrimpers have made the most of an enforced break in their season.

Can;t see anything but a loss tonight , 5 weeks worth of fitness should see us compete for longer periods in games so ill go for a 2-1 loss

I think this will be Sol's first win, players need to either show what they've got so they can stay or show someone else that they have the potential to play elsewhere. I reckon he'll start Oxley for some reason

4231 Should provide more cover for Milligans lack of legs.
5 at the back isn't working, we need to try and score.
If Hyam is fit, would start him over Mantom however let's face it, he is still recovering after 8 mins vs Sunderland.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

If we can keep it at 0-0 till the second minute of the game I'll be happy.

 

[Shrimper]

1-1 draw

We managed 57 seconds before it was game over last time. But I know what what you mean.

We managed 57 seconds before it was game over last time. But I know what what you mean.

And I think that early body blow is what really done for us. Oxford were tidy and organised but nothing special. There were a few glimpses of our ability on the ball and if we hadn't conceded so early, destroying confidence, I think we would have given them more of a game. When, you are where we are, it only takes 57 seconds to rip up a game plan and ruin all the hard work going into the game.

No repeat of that tonight and I predict a hard fought encounter. Can't be sure of the score, or of a win, but I think we will see progress.

That's a bit like saying they'll have to be Real Madrid.
Poor bloke: he's looking for ways to keep them on their toes, but he knows/they know/we know, that transfer window is the last vestige of hope.
Still, we won there last season.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Stop fannying around playing out from the back. The midfielder's dont want it. That's what ****ed Taylor and Dieng, absolutely no option to come and recieve the ball so by definition we cant play out from the back.

Get it forward and press. Play the game in their half for christ sake
