[tottenham541]

Over 500 tickets sold for this so far, and more have been requested

 

[GBJ]

But we will by 3rd August

I notice you didn’t stipulate what year though. Very shrewd

That’s decent looking at 800-900 then by Saturday

I'd be dissapointed with less than 1200+ on the day.

I'm not too sure, though like Marvin Gaye, I heard it thru the Grapevine ?

 

[GBJ]

We not voting / justifying our selections ?

Who’s available? Can’t remember exactly who’s injured.

FWIW, I’d go 442...

Oxley in goal, Humphrys & Goodship up top, Dru & the Ozzie in CM, Kiernan & Lennon at the back. Probably Mac on one wing.

The rest is debatable depending on who’s left

 

[manor15]

Oxley,
Elvis, Kiernan, White, Ralph,
Mantom, Dru, Milligan, McLaughlin,
Humphrys, Goodship

Subs: Bishop, Lennon, Hutchinson, Hyam, Klass, Kelman, Robinson.

Really lacking depth and options out wide, would go with Mantom as a wide midfielder but Hutchinson has certainly staked his claim over pre-season. Would be tempted to give Robinson a role from the bench as an impact sub and give the opportunity to start to Goodship.

Id go 433 for this

Oxley
Elvis Lennon Kiernan Ralph
Dru Milligan Mantom
Hutchinson Humphrys Robinson

Subs: Bishop White Hyam Klass Kelman Goodship McLaughlin

Easy to move it to 442 if required by swapping Hutchinson for Macca and moving him to LW

 

[Evening Echo]

MARK Milligan cannot wait to finally experience English football with Southend United.

SOUTHEND United new boy Nathan Ralph is confident the Shrimpers can spring a surprise in League One this season.

One good pre-season win against Millwall doesn't exactly insprire confidence for the season ahead.
