Pre-Match Thread Southend United vs Bristol Rovers

[wally4pm]

Predict a pretty poor game ending in a 1-1 stalemate. Then again I thought we would get spanked at Sheffield so there's hope all round!
I am always amazed at how many so called football fans don't know which football league team is nicknamed the Pirates. Try it on your Spammers, Arsenic and Chelski etc fans and see what I mean. You'll get all the coastal teams like Plymouth, Portsmouth etc as answers but very few Brizzie Rovers.

Don't see any changes other than Mooney for ranger.

Hoping Cox can continue on from Tuesday, with Mooney getting of the mark.....2-1 to us of course.

Be tougher without Ranger and not sure how Thommo will deal with a swirling ball. I've seen him in trouble before.

What direction?

 

[wally4pm]

What direction?

From the sky.

 

[usa_shrimper]

What direction?

Hopefully east to west......that way maybe some of Mooney's shots may get on target...

 

[Little Blue Rooster]

North to south hopefully to keep Mooney onside!

And a 180 switch at half time would be useful

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

The wind is forecast as gusty and from the south west.
Early this morning I was telling my self "sunglasses, peaked cap" for the game and now I am thinking jumper and rain wear.
The pitch must be soft and fast, I hope the players select the correct studs; and the officials apply common sense with the conditions/play.

 

[RHB]

What direction?

South Westerly if that's of any use to you.

 

[Shrimper]

Hopefully east to west......that way maybe some of Mooney's shots may get on target...

If it is too windy he will keep falling over, more than usual!

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

If it is too windy he will keep falling over, more than usual!

This is where our secret weapon (Williams) with his lower centre of gravity comes to the fore ............
