Official Match Thread Southend United vs Fleetwood Town

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Some have been asking for Cox to be behind front two and here it is. Apart from Jason can’t defend, I’m quite happy with this.

 

[North Devon Shrimper]

I quite like it, most have been saying Cox won't score many, so we have two forwards on the pitch, and Cox linking behind them. We also have 2 wingbacks to help out the midfield and also get forward and 3 centre backs, It will be interesting to see how in pans out today.

Would still have liked to see McCouslky given a start tho?

Yep would rather have seen him in.

I think with 532 a lot depends on whether you have the right players to suit the system.
This looks promising.

Back 3 all CBs but White and Moore either side of Turner have enough pace to carry it off. Turner in the middle reads the game very well. All three commanding in the air. A few ticks there.

Wing backs don't work if they are simply FBs pushed forward- you end up with a back 5. But bother Demetriou and Coker are very attacking minded and will push on whilst not ignoring defensive duties.

Cox in the number 10 role behind two strikers but in from of two CM gives arable our most creative player license to make things happen.

On paper it works- proof will be in the pudding..

Thank god Paul Clarke is co-commentating. Not knocking others but I think he really does say how it is. Just my opinion!!

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Be nice if they could turn doen the loud Fleetwoodwood commentary in the background.

Robinson pffft , about time Mc Coulsky was given a go, why bring him in on loan if you aint gonna give him a go .Sorry losing faith.

Listening on ifollow in Las Vegas. Come on you blue boys

Dominating this game, but only one clear cut chance and fluffed our lines.

At least in other weeks we’ve had more chances, this time there’s just hopeful long balls for Robinson to chase and Hopper to try to win the headers.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

As Paul Clark says We've shaded the half.But we need to do better.

Why are you only listening and not watching as well?

You're obviously doing something wrong.

(It's working fine here in France).

Dominating but not leading.. familiar story that. Robinson off for McCoulsky at half time rather than with 10 minutes to go please.
