Oxford United v Southend United

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Freddy not fit for tonight according the to article on the official site.

My team would be

Smith
Clohessy Cresswell Phillips Straker
Hall Timlin Spicer
Harris Britt Tomlin

Belford - Barker - Prosser - Hurst - Ferdinand - Nije - Leonard

That wont be anywhere near the team that Sturrock picks though.

Harris our wide?!?!?! if swap him and britt around then fair enough lol :hilarious:

 

[southend man101]

there opening goal on about 40 mins

 

[onlyonekingkevin]

he will play one up front today.... :sad:

 

[The General]

I dont mind a 4-5-1 if Tomlin and Hall are the "wide" men!

 

[Medway Blue]

Unfortunately I can only see a negative one up top scenario. If he's hell bent on doing that then I'd like to see:

Smith

Clohessy
Cresswell
Phillips
Straker

Ferdinand
Spicer
Timlin

Hall
Harris
Assombalonga


If he thinks to himself "hmmm, I'd really like to kick start our season, get confidence flowing and give the fans something to cheer at last by taking the game to Oxford" then I'd like to see a 4-4-2:

Smith

Clohessy
Cresswell
Phillips
Straker

Hall
Spicer
Timlin
Hurst

Harris
Tomlin


Sadly I think option 1 is the most likely!

 

[Shrimper95]

I'm hoping for a team of:

When defending:

Smith
Clohessy - Phillips - Cresswell - Straker
Hall - Spicer - Ferdinand - Timlin - Hurst
Tomlin

When attacking:

Smith
Clohessy - Phillips - Cresswell - Straker
Spicer - Ferdinand - Timlin
Hall - Tomlin - Hurst

Hugely strong!

Experienced Refrigerator Size goal keeper.
Two attack minded full backs.
Two Big Strong defenders.
Three midfielders who can pass and tackle.
Three forwards who can create.

 

[Pubey]

2-0 to the super blues.

That pretty much saved me any typing !

Im hoping we stay 442 as dont think the system let us down but agree he may go with one up front (or three when attacking).

as for selections I dont think Spicer/Timlin are fit, but if they are Id go with the same selections for both systems.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

A little bit of catch-up please.....Nije...loanee, history???...in anticipation , ta

 

[superblue24]

We're gonna get spanked :sad:

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

A little bit of catch-up please.....Nije...loanee, history???...in anticipation , ta

youth team I think

 

[Shrimperforlife]

2-0 to the super blues.

Hope so... I really do

 

[Shrimperforlife]

Law of avg. which mean OxFord get their first win over us since 2005!

you can see it coming

 

[Hazey]

Ryan Hall on the bench tonight, hope that doesn't mean he's off.

 

[Shrimper]

Southend: Belford, Clohessy, Phillips, Cresswell, Straker, Leonard, Spicer, Timlin, Hurst, Ferdinand, Tomlin.
Subs: Hall, Smith, Barker, Assombalonga, Harris, Prosser, Benyon.

Hall on the bench? Stupid.

Hope he's not off but if he was then we'd just leave him out of the squad surely?

 

[shrimperjon]

Belford, Sean, Phillips, cress, straker, Leonard, Timlin, Kane, spicer, hurst, Tomlin. Bench Harris, Benyon, smith, barker, prosser, asombolongo, hall.

Would have played both hall and smith ahead of Belford and Kane. Looks very defensive to me. Going for 1-1.

 

[Medway Blue]

Probably a message to him that he needs to pull his finger put, get his head down and play football.

 

[Shrimper]

Does this mean we have just 1 up front?
