Pre-Match Thread Solihull Moors v Southend United, Saturday 13th August, 15:00ko, NL

[EnglandShrimper]

I think 400 + of our supporters is good considering our injuries and the lack of a strong team.
Was you expecting more?

How are you seeing 400+????

How are you seeing 400+????

Just going by the previous posts, haven’t Moors just released another block of tickets for us ?

 

[kentblues]

Wreh can't be up top on his own so i think we have to play Powell along side him. My growing worry is Mooney and bridge seem to keep wide in a front three, even though we have wing backs, meaning Wreh has zero support within a cab ride away...

So if that means two up front then we need 352 but with wing backs who push on. Given Taylor is also doubtful I would go now with

Arnold
Hobson Kensdale Ralph
Mooney Husin Miley Fonguk Bridge
Powell Wreh

Meerkat, I'm not saying that 400 isnt good, I am simply asking where you're seeing 400+ tickets sold?

I think the confusion may have arisen as we were issued Blocks J, K , L and M....
However it would appear that that J and K have now been reallocated as Home and we get N (seating) instead ......I think

Unfortunately no seats are available to away fans. I believe that whole side (Gas Centre Stand/Gazebo) is having some work done as per message on the website - Please note that the club are operating under a limited capacity for this fixture due to the re-development of the Gas Centre Stand. As a result, the Gas Centre Stand will be closed for this game.

We still have half the terrace behind the goal (Forest Stand) Blocks I-M allocated to us. Despite it saying "Home Covered Standing" on their ticketing site.

I may of got a bit ahead of myself.
I did see a 400 figure somewhere. It may have been on another site, it may have just been my age

he said that SM have released another block of tickets for us? is that true?

 

[shrimperjon]

didnt we take 500plus last year. it was possibly one of the most depressing days ever watching southend. however, our squad was ****e that day and we were on an awful run, so surely 2nd game of the season, news squad, first away day etc we should be selling out our allocation of 500

Yep, i think 500 will be going at least - I think the Solihull Moors website is behind in terms of updating, showing only 1 section being sold out - that is what is causing confusion around how many sold etc...

Please tell me this has a roof as it will be roasting

The terrace behind the goal has a roof yes.

 

[Smiffy]

No. We still have just half the terrace behind the goal.

 

[southendkid]

Save your money,we got no chance

Is it safe to say that you're no longer predicting us to win the league?

 

[kentblues]

Reckon we’d lose 8-3 with that team out. We’d be so open at the back

Well.. we have three at the back, three in CM, and both Mooney and Bridge are used to planing RM and LM. The alternative it to put a RB and a LB in (well it would have to be Crowhurst as there is no-one else and Clifford). With us that normally becomes a 532 and the first half of the score we can normally predict as southend 0...but it is the other option.
Personally I would rather go there and take the game to them- I can't see them not scoring which means we will have to..

I think that formation against Solihull would see attacking players getting pinned back rather than get forward.

How about taking a parasol? What stand are we? If it is east then we will be getting sun sun sun

Then

Arnold
Hobson Kensdale Ralph
Crowhurst Husin Miley Fonguk Clifford
Powell Wreh

Tough on Bridge and Mooney but if we only play one up top, and that one is Wreh, we will score 0 and Solihull won't..

 

[Whispering Bob]

Yep, i think 500 will be going at least

I have a hunch our away followings will be down this year (unless a promotion push develops). There will be a fair few who visited the NFL grounds last season simply to add them to their collection, and others who will swerve the ones in the middle of nowhere or with cramped conditions/poor views etc.
