Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Barnet, Tuesday 26th December, 15:00k.o., NL, (Live on TNT Sports)

If Kensdale is suspended (as we suspect) then Brook will be needed at the back.

Thought someone mentioned somewhere that Kensdale isn’t and don’t think I’ve seen Chris Phillips mention it

I'm equally excited and worried about this fixture. Barnet have some real fire power that we can only dream of (hopefully not for long). However, their form makes interesting reading. They got that amazing 6-0 win but before that, they had a real bad patch. Cliché alert, the first goal is going to be huge.

Sandat has to start! He should have got a penalty and had that great chance when he tried to chip the keeper in his 30 mins at Kidderminster. Just goes to show what true strikers can create, not players having to play out of position.

Such a shame we don't have our best team out. Imagine how good we'd be with the spine of our team back (Cards and Miley).

I'm hoping the bumper crowd acts as a 12th man and not a hindrance like it has in the past. I guess what ever the result, other news this week is far more important than this game. Let's all just come together and celebrate. Utb!

Fingers crossed! You might be right looking at these stats

Gonna be very tough today, we should probably be happy with a draw but sod that.

If we can take 6 points off this lot the next two games we'll be laughing

...hysterically!

Come on you Blues! Big 3 points today for a big crowd would be amazing. Won’t be there today unfortunately but will keep tabs on it on TNT.

Question. Due to ill health in our home, I need to get a TV pass. The match is on TNT which I am not a subscriber to, so does the one day Vanarama TV one day pass for the 26th count to allow access to the Southend game today?

No, unless you have a VPN

The Vanarama webpage is misleading https://www.nationalleaguetv.com/packages it says all games on the 26th?

He isn’t for today. Rules this year state that the 5 cards rule is only for the first 19 games. He now has to keep under 10 before we hit 37 games. Foul-on young Ollie.

Hoping the lads can pull off one more result out of the hat and then the embargo can be lifted in the week and we can be in a stronger position from next Saturday onwards.

But if the team can dig deep one last time and have the superb backing of a Roots Hall crowd all through the game and we can squeeze a win or avoid defeat, then we can look forward to better things from this point onwards.

New contract for Maher etc. Doesn't say when until just "long-term"

Ain’t long term 5 years ?

I know there's a separate thread for this, but does anyone know whether watching TNT Sports 1 demands a minimum contract of £29.99 per month?
I don't have one, of course, and the instructions/info on their page are unclear.
Gracias.
