Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Wycombe Wanderers - Saturday 13 April 2019

[MK Shrimper]

It's not. Thanks.

Lol, You should know by now Rootshallbloke, that threads rarely stay completely on topic if they go a few pages. Someone once said on here that the starting thread is the tree trunk, and then posters add branches, some going all over the place. It's just the nature of forums and posters.

Yeah, of course I know. But it would be remiss of me not to steer me in the right direction. Its like herding cats as far as the rest of you lot are concerned.

Thanks to Jay_SUFC and rigsby for elucidating my reasoning. On second thoughts, may be it's better just to win three of our next four games and forget about Sunderland!

Home record doesn't give grounds for optimism though - including cups,
W6 D2 L15 - that's seriously bad! Is it our worst home record ever?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Is Hopper back in training....or, likely to play before the end of the season?

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Lennon? Really?

the boy hasn't even managed to rack up 40 games of professional football in his whole career

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Lennon? Really?

Yes, he was injury prone. Although I'd have still signed him as I think the upside is worth it.

Sam Hart has pulled a fair amount of disinterest/critcism in a SZ poll on retaining our loanees. Strangely, he has managed to once again poll the most votes to date by SZ voters for this Saturday's starting eleven. He has also managed to top the 'starting eleven poll votes for the last few games. I find stuff quite confusing on here at times.

I think that says more about our current options at left-back than anything else. I'm encouraged by how he's improved but alarmed by how many goals we continue to concede down the left hand side. I know Kightly is a major issue there as well but it's not as if Kightly has played that many games.

 

[Pak Power]

Saturday should be interesting, as between them these two teams haven't won a game of football for 25 games.

Referee has been announced as David Coote (appologies if it's been mentioned anywhere)

Am sure I read on here recently, that he probably wont be fit for the start of next season?.

If Hopper is still here......I worry that some of our players may have relegation clauses in their contracts.

I should hope lots of them do because we certainly can't sustain this wage bill in the bottom division.

Let's not worry about that just yet - well at least until we see how Saturday goes !

 

[onceknownasrab]

I predict a comfortable home win on Saturday and it will lift us two or three places. I think our form in the remaining matches will see us safe.

Interesting that Gareth Ainsworth hasn't named an unchanged side for months. Neither have we. Both teams are on terrible runs. Coincidence? The inability to pick a settled side, and still not knowing our best 11 as a result, is for me the main reason we're in this position.

Of course totally agree. The problem is if players are not performing then the manager is more inclined to make changes. Obviously some are enforced with injuries.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Well I certainly think Chris Powell knew his best side., Unfortunately, most were too often in the treatment room. By and large selections were too often dictated by injuries and recovery from them. Would seem our new manager is experiencing similar problems already.
