Hotel just booked, long drive ahead this afternoon, unfortunately Harry not answering my texts asking him to swing by and give us a lift in the Roller, looking forward to this one, I must be a tad mentally challenged spending £250+ following a team that hasn't won for 12 games, must be love ;-)

FLEETWOOD Town boss Joey Barton would not be surprised to see Harry Redknapp in Southend United’s dug out tomorrow.

Love sick, more like....

See you there. I'll be wearing blue.

Right. Got my ticket. Sitting in the middle of the Cod Army though........ oh well, you can add one to the away fans total. I've bought a pack of Fisherman's Friends for fake Fleetwood authenticity. I don't have a rubber cod though.

Vital that we win, but Joey Barton's team will be aggressive and confident. Who ever heard of a little shrimper boat beating a deep sea trawler though?

Please play two upfront, Kev. Cox and Wabo are my choice.

Look out for a home flag that tickled me.......The Cod Ultras.

Seems like the 'goal keeper of choice' dilemma has split the Zone poll vote so far this week. Maybe we could graft the good bits from both into one composite keeper? I wish!!

Working on the B word principle......Bishop won ...so it must be Oxley

 

[HertfordshireBlue]

Every remaining game must be 3 points if we are to guarantee safety, this means 1 up top is banned and locked away. Hopefully Bondy has had enough time to implement his football philosophy and worked the boys on fitness and getting the ball down.

I would be happy with a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 playing with width and speed when breaking. Also a leader in the centre of the park wouldn't go a miss..

Any change in our previous football style is good for me.

EDIT: Also don't be afraid to have a f***ing shot..

Just based on a Gut feeling I think we can win this one. My head says lose, our dire form says lose. But in reality my confidence comes from chilli and "Proper Job" for supper. I've got the feel good factor tonight !

 

[Chrisb]

It will be really interesting to see the starting line up tomorrow - will he go with youth or experience. I am expecting (hoping) to see more tackles, less hoofball and a more energetic performance, reckon a 1-1 draw.

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Totally agree. He doesn't work hard enough or is fit enough. He offers the full back no protection and his movement off the ball is minimal.

Only player we have with some pace

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Can anyone tell me where our goals or goal is going to come from? Maybe from a corner, one of our defenders. Probably our best chance.

 

[mattitouk]

Most likely an own goal! lol.

 

[The Big Dady]

Can anyone tell me where our goals or goal is going to come from?

Think we could get them here

SUFC Goals

 

[Barling Magna]

Well, Joey Barton is on our side...... (after today)....

Let’s hope we get a win today and all the other results go our way!

Up the Blues!!

Staying up with Kevin Bond!!

Staying up with Kevin Bond!!

Have you two got a late night planned ?

 

[sammy666]

I've been somewhat bold. I've gone for a diamond featuring none of recognized midfield.
Bishop
Elvis kiernan lennon Hendrie
Taylor-Moore
Demi Hart
Cox
Wabo Acquah

7 defenders.. that is bold

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

TBF our midfield have been horrendous this season so I see the temptation in completely getting rid of them
