Official Match Thread Southend United v Crawley Town

[Cricko]

Odd that Taylor and Ang are missing from the squad, but pleased Rush is in there.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

It's another "must win and not **** it up " game.....we need goals, we need points, we need a bloody miracle !!!

 

[Spenser]

Maybe Phil's not really here? This is MM's team selection surely......?

Not MM's team talk though.
Wahay bonny lad, stick it in the mixer for the big lump......

 

[euroshrimper]

Come on Southend let's do this, personally I dont mind who plays, just want to see some passion, fight and a win. Have to say I'm feeling excited........

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

ANG not in the starting line up, nor Hart, yet those two have created a hell of a lot more going forward than Ricky Holmes.
Typical Brown.
We need to win this, if Molesley had picked this team we wouldve slated it as very defensive.
We're big, tough, experienced, but powder puff when we get the ball, no ball carrier, limited wing player, no striker that will create a shot out of nothing.
Its got draw written all over it. Brown out.
Cmon you Blues.

 

[The Big Dady]

Next three games are crucial for the team

E

Yeah the bench looks good. Although ANG has offered a lot more than Goodship this season so a little disappointed to see him completely dropped. (Presuming he isn’t injured)

er surely the objective is for the starting 11 to look good. !

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Same team selection that got absolutely slated on Tuesday apart from Holmes in for ANG. Will it be slated now a different manager has chosen it?

Yes. Is Akinola injured? Or was there a row with MM and now Brown?

Same here, my usually feelings of exhaustion and dread before a game have been set aside.

Still the same squad so not expecting miracles, but col u are catchable if we can do the business.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

The trouble is the Phil factor should be exciting and offer hope.
IF we lose this, the feeling will be worse.
As oft said: 'it's the hope that gets you'.

Ron’s on the pitch with a ball.......

 

[sufcrocks]

Now having a chat with Bradbury!

 

[Strykr]

Now having a chat with Bradbury!

Has he got an envelope of used fivers in his hand?

Has he got an envelope of used fivers in his hand?

Just what I was thinking!!

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Interesting comment by Brown about why Ricky was the only change - he wanted to put in anyone who showed him on the training ground that they had a point to prove “perhaps against the previous regime”.

If I were a Crawley fan I’d be pleased ANG is not involved so that he can’t up his game against his former employers.

Although Nathan Ferguson screamer today anyone?

 

[macima]

Any lip readers tell us what Phil and Macca are talking about?

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Phil having a long chat with Macca,hardly acknowledged Ron when he walked past

 

[sufcrocks]

Now the ref getting intimate with Brown......bizarre!

 

[Blueeyedboy]

In El Tango we trust! ??
