Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Macclesfield Town

[Shrimper]

So. Quite a big game today.

With it being 21 years since Benji. Anyone fancy a chant of "who put the ball in the Bury net?"

Great season regardless of today. Play up Southend!

Realistically either Crawley or Torquay are going to get three points but we can only do our part. Get an early goal and hope that news gets transferred around the grounds and adds some extra pressure.

Wish I could be at the Hall today, will be a huge regret were we to be promoted.

Team for today guys, what's your views ...

Why are you not going?

Gotta bring Freddy back in.

Ferdinand to bench and Freddy to start, otherwise the same for me.

Gotta bring Freddy back in.

I think we will win this without Freddy. My worry is if he plays and makes his injury worse, he won't be available for the play-offs if that scenario happens. That would be devastating

Bury away was a truly amazing day/night that will probably never be bettered for me as although the game was not a classic it was all about getting promotion into the First Division/Championship for the first time in the club's history. Opening champagne and singing dancing in the motorway service stations on the way home and finishing the day very late in the Railway with Peter Butler and Pat Scully joining in the celebrations made it special.

Fancy us to win today maybe 2-0 but not sure both Crawley and Torquay will fail to win again so sadly it could be Crawley's day to celebrate today but if we get promoted at Wembley maybe with a Freddy winner that would also be special

 

[Shrimper]

I can't see both Torquay and Crawley failing again sadly. I live in hope though, we can only do our bit.

 

[Medway Blue]

Freddy has to start, he's integral to the more flair-based, passing style of football which has been successfully on display in the last 3 home games.

 

[BaileytheQuitter]

Why are you not going?

Work commitments.

Wish I could be at thee Hall - living abroad has its drawbacks. If I lived in Southend think I would already be in ground,
the kick off can't come soon enough. For me its Sky Sports News on the TV, Shrimperzone on the computer and Sky Sports Centre on the mobile. C'mon the mighty shrimpers!!!

Hopefully we get ourselves in a position where we can give Ryan a run out, he could be very important if we do end up in the play-offs!!!
