Pre-Match Thread Shrewsbury (A)

[Napster]

I think he won the ball a number of times Saturday and drove forward a number of times to.. Genuinely cant remember Manton doing either... Both are dog **** , dont get me wrong, but I would class Hamilton as the dry white kind easier on the eye and foot, not the other awful light brown smell kind that Mantom is

you dont see much of the white stuff anymore.

 

[RobM]

I'm already on my way! Son lives nearby.

 

[RHB]

Can anyone tell me how or what it is Hamilton brings to the party to warrant continued unwavering selection?......

It's not impossible that part of the loan agreement is dependent on appearances.

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

I picked it all up... Having said that, now foods have predominantly changed to this dried stuff, their stools are becoming alot firmer... sometimes in the park I dont even use a bag to pick my dogs up... I enjoy wiping my hands in the dew lush grass

 

[Rayleigh boy]

No thanks. Neither should start ever again

so weird - the world of opinions

I think Milligan is a knackered old waste of space and a second rate show pony while Dieng is a proven League on pro and Hyam can do a holding job.

I think we need a definite midfield 3 - from Mantom, Hyam, Hamilton, Dieng - with Macca as a wide man cos he does his defensive work.

Maybe chance Hutchinson up front with Hump if Cox off form - he cannot hold his own in a league midfield yet ...

 

[Supershrimper]

I'd start with the same team that finished Saturdays game except switching out Ndukwu for McLaughlin.

SOUTHEND United's caretaker Gary Waddock is hopeful Nathan Ralph will be fit to face Shrewsbury Town tomorrow night.

Only thing Hyam can hold is his hair in place with that alice band

 

[Evening Echo]

GARY Waddock will remain as Southend United's caretaker manager for Tuesday night's trip to Shrewsbury Town.

If Dieng and Hyem are available then how about starting with either of them and usi g the other as sub for when the starter tries or gets carded and stops tackling for risk of red?
Show Hutch the vid of his errors, coach the positive points and work thru the options, give him more game time to show he is a learner and player we want him to be. Not a youngster learning his craft by warming the bench or sitting in the stand.
Mac has a taste of a goal and will get his form! (Imo)..........maybe.
We need Ralph back asap.
Bin Blackman and his month contract, and get Timlin back on a month contract instead, he was Dru''s best partner and maybe good for Hutch and Hamilton, again don't expect miracles or full 100 minutes of game time but he will work 100%.

Agree with your thoughts re Timlin but Dieng and tackling aren't words that normally spring to mind to use in the same sentence for me.

I doubt it.
From time to time, a club recalls a player because he isn't playing: to wit; Cauley Woodrow when he was with us.
But no club taking a loanee can promise the parent club a said number of appearances.
It's the equivalent of saying it doesn't matter how badly you play: you'll get games!

Omigod! Mantom, Dieng and Hyam in the same midfield?
For a start, Hyam is going to get injured after 15 minutes, and those brave Blues at the New Meadow are going to be pulling hair out after Mantom's 20th pass to a Shrew.
I would love it if Dieng finally showed his 'proven' league qualities.

Quite often there is an agreement whereby the player will get X amount of games before he then picked on merit....ie play first 5 then it’s on merit.

It is also very common for the parent club to say you can have him for free (in terms of wages) if he’s playing but if not then you contribute that proportion of his wage....ie if he starts all games we pay all his wages, if he starts 50% of games you contribute 50% of his wages...

I’d be very surprised if this second example isn’t in place in some form....and it would explain why he’s been selected in every game available so far....I don’t suppose Ron is very keen on contributing a % of £6-10k a week for a 20 yr old no better than what we have of our own

I'm a wimpy 'home games only' sort of bloke, so I'm having a tenner's worth on iFollow. Anyone else interested, the link is here

Thanks for that RHB, I am away on business tomorrow in Northampton overnight, so this link for the match is perfect.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

My selection, providing all selected would be fit:

*********************************************OXLEY*************************************

DEMETRIOU*******************SHAUNESSY********LENNON*******************RALPH


MANTOM**********************KIERNAN***********HAMILTON*********MCLAUGHLIN



*******************HUMPHREYS**********************GOODSHIP**********************



SUBS:
BISHOP
BWOMOMO
MILLIGAN
DIENG
HYAM
NDUKWO
COX


If one of the centre backs gets injured, Kiernan can drop back and Dieng, Hyam or Milligan can come in.

wide cover is offered by the DUK and COx is striker cover, or if we, God forbid, need to close the game out from a winning position, COx could come on for Goodship play a bit deeper, but still offer that little bit to be worried about.

Whoever is selected, just the same fight please and midfield please, please go with the runners and stop chasing the vball so much.

just wonder how Milligan and Dieng would go as a midfield pairing.

What a weird story to write , copying a presenter off the box and turning it into a story ... next week Gary waddock’s wife confirms Gary he wears pyjamas

I think it stretches the phrase 'pairing'.
