Pre-Match Thread Creepy Crawley v Southend United

[Beefy]

Not surprising though, when Creepy's last defeat at home was against Newport in October 2010!

Which is 19 league and cup games, by my calculations. :stunned:

They aren't playing Fleetwood, Cambridge and Ebbsfleet now though. They're playing Southend U-****ing-nited. They should be worried about us not the other way around.

personally i dont see crawley finishing in the top ten this year, proper league football might be a rude awakening for them

Beefy, mate. I was just stating why we seem to be priced very favourably for tomorrows game.

Your right, we should not be scared of Crawley. But we have to take them as a serious threat to our title ambitions!

Whatever the formation is tomorrow, I'm actually pretty confident we will turn them over. At worst get a draw. Defeat is not an option. :thumbsup:

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Theyve got good forward options but I havent seen them make a defensive signing yet this season so sure we can create a few chances. WIll have to watch out for their pacey forwards though.

Graham Coughlan and Chris Barker catch pacey defenders, Bilel Mohsni finishes pacey defenders off, and then eats them for a laugh!

Absolutely. I think right now they probably are the best side at this level, but i think we may be on the cusp of something pretty special here as well. We'll lose some games along the way but I don't think we should be going into any game against anyone at this level thinking that we don't have at least a 50-50 chance.

 

[Shrimper]

I'd rather have Bilel as a sweeper than Barker. Although, he'd could probably be a liability there.

 

[Swiss Tony]

3-1 to the mighty Shrimpers,800 strong army of Blues,and no hold ups at the pipe on the way home.UTB

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I'd rather have Bilel as a sweeper than Barker. Although, he'd could probably be a liability there.

Bilel won't play. I doubt we'll see him again until after Ramadan.

 

[jerseyshrimper]

2-1 to the mighty blues 55.1 with bet 365 with hall as an anytime scorer

 

[sufc_tom]

Yes, Ramadan..........

 

[bazzashrimper]

Crawley have some good players for league 2, but they also have some average ones too, if Josh Simpson being a regular is anything to go by (cue tomorrows hatrick)!

 

[Maroon Blue]

1-1 prediction for me.

Harris in for Leonard, Phillips (if fit) or Mohsni??? in for Coughlan, who surely cannot be expected to play in a third game in a week against a more pacey forward line, tremendous job he has done none the less in the last two games. Feel Sawyer worth a start, would bring fresh energy into midfield, but do not know at who's expense.

Good away turn out 700, Hall to score first, we then get pegged back and leave thinking it was a great point.

 

[leeblue]

for me Mohsni has to play, coughlan struggled last season against mobile forwards, need to play the more mobile option and he has obviously had a kick up the ar5e so has a big point to prove.This is the only change id make from sat tbh

 

[he_dont_speak_no_english]

I would like to see Mohsni back. Rama dama ding dong.

 

[tottenham541]

13-5 for the draw but i think 9-2 for southend for the away win is worth a punt, harris and mohsni to start please.

 

[shrimperian]

doubt it will be 13-5 or 9-2....I am going for 2-2! Harris and an OG for us...they will score in the last minute to equalise. 750 shrimpers there to witness Mohsni's red card

 

[adam3811]

Looking forward to first game of the season for me as I've been working so far. Going for a 3-1 southend win, open game finish them off late. Up the Blues!

 

[fredheim_holm]

Very tempted to make the trip down for this one. A case of head vs. heart, not sure which will win out. Decide in the morning me thinks!

 

[greyerfox]

Will be making the trip all the way from Norfolk. But having reviewed the Crawley match last Sat on BBC I think our defence is in for a tough time. Tyronne Barnett, for instance, looks a real handful. This will certainly be a severe test of our metal. Expect PS to start very defensive in his line-up and see how things go. A point will be very handy tonight.
