Great thanks mate. I must need my head examining after last week. But maybe with mccormack and akinola we can mix it up a bit.

Based on the pre-match interview I don’t think Akinola will be in the squad. McCormack may be but again it will be based on his fitness levels.

Ah ok, worth it tho, to see mccormack get a red card after 5 minutes. ?

 

[Jai]

Would guess Akinola not registered yet, they need someone to depart.

He already registered, to take Humphreys place, we deregistered our player to make way for Macca

 

[Barling Magna]

He isn't match fit yet and most encouragingly MM is insistent that he will not risk him until he is certain that he is ready.

Never understood why people think Macca is a dirty player ... I remember when he first played peopled thought that ...

He's never had 1 straight red card. haha

My ideal lineup today:

Kelman

Green Hutchinson Goodship

Dieng McCormack

Clifford* White Hobson Elvis

Oxley

*Clifford is highly unlikely, although I rate him more than Ralph.

Relatively solid midfield, Hutchinson to provide the support for Charlie and Green/Goodship to stretch the play. I'd also give the wide men the licence to cut back inside and shoot.

Hopefully we can have some more overlapping wing play with Dieng and Mac as deeper cover for the full backs.

Johnny White or McCormack as captain for me.

 

[BluePartridge]

Do you think the Carlisle fans will be instructed to spend 5 minutes pretending they're away fans?

Read that as Kelman between the sticks at first. To be fair would do a better job than Oxley

Come on Blues this is where the comeback starts against these northern monkeys.UTB

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Plucky defeat incoming

 

[Swiss Tony]

Plucky defeat incoming

That almost sounds like a result after whats gone on,but i do hope your wrong,we live in hope,UTB

 

[Chalky]

I was critical of MMs 4-4-2 system but since the return of Macca in the middle I'm willing to give it a try again. At least for the first half anyway.

Oxley
Elvis White Hobson Clifford
Egbri McCormack Hutch Green
Kelman Goodship

Really hoping we see the return of Clifford today, I rate him way above Ralph.

Also I genuinely thought about dropping Oxley, but I doubt MM is going to do that. But Oxley must at least look like he wants to try today.

I know that it is NOT going to happen but Southend could make history today......

Southend have the opportunity to do a thing that no other football team have done in the 148 years history of football......

If Southend were to win 8-0 or even 9-1 today at Carlisle, they would be the only team ever to go from BOTTOM in the league to TOP in the league with ONE football match.

Mathematically, it is impossible for a team to go from bottom to top in a league with just ONE match, but the unique circumstances that Southend find themselves in, it is possible today, if Southend win 8-0/9-1.

So let's make history?

I know realistically that we are more likely to make history by being the first team to lose 20-0 in a League 2 football match, but we can always hope?
