Gutted I have to miss this- unavoidable (according to her ladyship..,). After going to Gillingham and witnessing the most inept and spineless refereeing performance..well since the last time we went to Gillinham it's doubly frustrating. My one hope is the outcome is decided by the players (like it used to be) rather than some over inflated self important official..

Might bag a load tomorrow. Will second the 4-1 prediction although did think we may hit them for 5.

My brother, Mike Brown, died a year ago today. He was a lifelong Blues fan and I would hope he is at RH in spirit today and spurring us on to a memorable victory. If we win I will dedicate it to him. If we draw I will tell him to pull his finger out next time and if we lose I will tell him to haunt the meccano stadium in Colchester.

I'm expecting a Blues win today in front of 7,800.

Oddly enough looking forward to this one. About to travel down from the north of the county. Hoping for a comfortable win, but this is Southend!

Going for 2-0, Cox and Wordsworth scoring, Come on You Blues!

Cox and Robinson to start, if Ranger not fit. MAF and Nouble on the bench

Sorry, but am I the only one who doesn't rate Mooney? Thought he was inept pre injury, for me he is well down the pecking order.

Mooney was starting to find form before his injury (ignoring the game when he got subbed off early on), against Millwall he was great. There's a good player in there somewhere and I'd like to see what he can do in our current system if we go a couple of goals up, because let's be honest Cox looked atrocious earlier in the season but has thrived since we've picked up form, there's no reason Mooney can't do the same (especially since he loves making runs for through balls, he was caught offside a lot earlier in the season but we look sharp enough to feed those runs now).

CP has just tweeted that looks like Anton and Atko back, and possibly Robinson to start. Ranger out apparently?

we'll know in a few mins...

And is Mac back :unsure:
