Pre-season

[2wolfs]

Obviously, no tour abroad then.

Off to Spain 4 days playing Aberdeen

 

[Mad Cyril]

Great Wakering have officially announced that it will now be a 12:30 kick off.

The pubs will probably be shut as well.

 

[mattitouk]

Only one home game. Vs Leeds on 22nd. Great Wakering away on 7th, Orient away 28th. Spurs behind closed doors at some point. Think there's a game vs Aveley too, might be 12th.

Quite a bare schedule.

Yep your correct, but this isn't a 1st team game, it's just an under 23 game.

Chris Phillips says there will be a story on Kiernan soon.

I really hope he does come back, I really rate Kiernan.

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

How comes v Leeds ,£15 adults (£12 season ticket holders) yet it's only £12 all adults for Leeds fans on their site?

 

[shrimpled]

Ferdinand definitely in training.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

I keep expecting some more games to be announced ...... it still seems a bit bare, doesn't it?

Hope so, nice to have 1 or 2 local games but then they may use the under 23 games to give some players game time!?!

 

[Barling Magna]

This extended heatwave and drought won't help the new pitch, will it? They can't play pre-season games on it, surely?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

It makes a change wanting for some more names to announced as the squad seems a little bare!

 

[rararblue]

I actually think that in past seasons we have played too many pre season friendlies and it just adds extra games to what is a long season. It needs to be balanced, just the right amount to the squad up to speed.

I think that depends on how many players we have who are genuine contenders for first team slots ............. and we seem to have quite a few for the coming season. If both teams are allowed to use multiple substitutes then a pre-season game could mean only 45 minutes of footie for certain players .......

....... so if we (Southend United) were looking to try multiple permutations in midfield then more games might be required.

 

[RobM]

What friendlies have we got confirmed?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

What friendlies have we got confirmed?

I’m only aware of Great Wakering and Leeds

 

[Suffolk Blue]

Haven't we got Orient away on 28th July?

 

[Jim Levenstein]

We have Dartford away also not sure when that is though

Cancelled! I think they replaced us with our many fingered cousins

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

They must’ve seen how our squad is shaping up and feared a morale-sapping thrashing
