Very poor formation and wrong players Mr Powell
Hope he changes it in the game ,or could be heavy defeat

SCP is clearly going for experience.Not a bad thing in an FA Cup tie.Let's wait and see what happens.

 

[SUFCStu]

Come on Southend!

Why,Dieng is playing up front again behind Cox?!!

He was playing in between midfield and Cox, but was never 'up front' unless it was closing down the angles. He did it very intelligently. Remember there isn't two other midfielders sitting in. I think you'll see Dieng tuck in naturally when Dru drives forward which is a bit of a waste.

'watching' from home today. The bench shows how we are down to the bare bones re defenders - hope no more injuries or 'we're doomed Captain Mannering'

Couldn't Luke Hyman play in the back 4 if needed?

Elvis in for Demi was no choice. Turner in for Moore is to combat Barnsley’s height, so no issues.

I suggested Kightly in for Bunn in the pre match thread, just as we have another cup game on Tuesday and to keep everyone fresh.

Yearwood for Hyam is the only one that I am confused with, as I thought Hyam looked good on Tuesday and is what we have been missing, and Yearwood might not be 100%.

Let’s wait and see. Gutted I am not there or able to watch in ifollow.

Think you'll find the Luton game is next Wednesday and it is on iFollow (unlike today's game).

Dru fit again, supposedly.

Kites in, as well.

Slightly surprised he didn't stick with Tuesday's side (Demi apart). Especially as Bunn and Hyam had very good first-halves.

Maybe wanting to get out of the cup al a PB and is lining up his excuses already? Hope I'm wrong.

Hendrie saves off the line, Oxley down. Southend break, Mantom shoots........ over the stand.

Bugger, I am driving down to Essex on Wednesday night.

Why leave Moore out - Turner and White are poor together!!

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

After an even start, it sounds ominously like Barnsley are taking control................although it's still 0-0.............for the moment!
