Strong line-up on paper, dont know how fit Wordy is though but big opportunity for Dru.

One of the most balanced starting line-ups this season, I predict a surprisingly positive result . . .

No cover for centre back if either of them gets injured and who will win the ball in midfield?

 

[southendkid]

I'm liking that we have an actual winger on the right today, I think PB has tried too hard to turn a centre midfielder into the new Atkinson when it's clear none of them are Atkinson-type players. Every CM we've played out wide (usually Wright) has looked completely lost whenever they've been deployed there. We badly need Timlin back though, can't see where the tackles are going to come from in midfield today.

O'Toole, I forgot about him!.

And Alex Revell on the bench !

 

[manor15]

Crooks, Grimes and O'Toole are going to have a field day in midfield.

Nobody to win the ball in midfield. Four attacking midfielders

 

[dannypav]

John White anyone ?

John White anyone ?

He's injured.

 

[Little Blue Rooster]

Dry has his work cut out today protecting that back four! I like that starting line up!

 

[BrettieAngell]

We have been weak away from home conceding too many goals, maybe attack is the best form of defence!

why cant they win the ball?

John White anyone ?

Brown: "John (White) couldn’t make it. He had six stitches, it had to be
glued together and his ankle is twice the size. He would’ve played but every
time he kicked the ball it burst open again."

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

O’Toole and Revell... that’s 2 goals for them then! :facepalm:

 

[LBBlue]

John White anyone ?

6 stitches in his ankle apparently.

 

[OrangeyBrown]

Glad to see Kightly starting on the right, he's struggled for form on the left. Bit concerned about a middle two of Wordsworth and Yearwood but both have very good quality on the ball.

6 stitches in his ankle apparently.

Yep: [FONT=&quot]Brown: "John (White) couldn’t make it. He had six stitches, it had to beglued together and his ankle is twice the size. He would’ve played but everytime he kicked the ball it burst open again."[/FONT]
