Pre-Match Thread FA Cup - Morecambe (A)

[ozshrimper]

Barry Roche commenting on the match didn't seem to mention the opposition once. They seem very cocky. Southend to win 2-0.

Morecambe's Likely Line Up:

Mark Hughes - Club captain started his career at Everton where he made one first team appearance before being loaned out to Stockport County. Everton the sold him to Northampton for an undisclosed fee where he played 93 games, scoring 4 goals. After came a 26-game-long stint at League One side Walsall, where he scored 1 goal. After rejecting a new contract at The Saddlers, Hughes moved to Australia to play for North Queensland Fury, for whom he scored 4 goals in 30 appearances before moving back to England to play for Bury (and a short loan at Accrington Stanley)

Mark Hughes is suspended after picking up his 5th yellow last week.

My prediction is that Blues only change will be Kiernan in for suspended Clifford, and a reshuffle with White at RB and Leonard CM. I'll go for a 1-1 draw with BBBC scoring (Barry loves the FA Cup!)

I thought the deal was that we only have one pre-match thread. Mods - Are the two being merged or will there be two parallel threads??

I tend not to look past page 1 of threads. If it's dropped to the 2nd page, there obviously wasn't much being said on it.
