Pre-Match Thread Southend United vs Oldham Athletic 27th October 2020 19:00hrs ko FL2

[RHB]

League games are coming thick and fast and the next fun fest is against Oldham Athletic. Oldham are nearly in as deep ****e as we are at the moment with only one win in 8 starts. So this is another 'must win' game for us if we are to hang on to other clubs shirt tails.

Normal pre-match stuff here full of wisdom, insights and feelings of general well being. The game is available on iFollow, vouchers for S/T holders and a tenner for anyone else. Worth remembering it's a 7pm ko so don't log in too late (half time).

Fill yer boots people.

PS - If you're an Oldham fan looking in (and I know you are cos I've just approved you joining), why not share your views?

Same team, depending on whether White and Macca are fit.

If they are, swap White for Dieng and Macca for Elvis, put JD RB.

Eh? Is the combination code to uncle Rons war chest? Reveal what you know, in the know.

Any knowledge on whether they will be fit?

 

[in the know]

Hahaha
C'mon everyone keep up!
Have a look at clarky176's post and work it out

I have clocked on now. Embarrassingly took me a while though

 

[Swiss Tony]

I've got this nagging feeling we might come good here and nick this one.

Like I said in the Tranmere post-match thread, this is an early season relegation 6 pointer. Oldham are only 3 points above us, albeit with a better goal difference but a win here would be a real confidence boost for the squad and I think, if we play as well as we did yesterday then we could finally get that first win.

Whites a possible at the moment as far as I'm aware. Don't think Macca is tho. Suspect JD may play as long as knee stays ok after lots of games in a short space. As far as I know It's fine. Doubt MM will use JD at right back while Elvis is available cos he's needed in the middle. Think Elvis will stay at rb.
All guesswork of course !
trouble is, even if white and macca were near fit they won't be anywhere near 90 mins match fit. Same goes for the elusive akinola

I don't even know why I did it to be fair haha!
the theory about rons war chest was much more entertaining

If ever we needed that war chest it is now.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

3-0 loss coming.

But if Akinola is fit, then we will win 8-0...

 

[overseas shrimper]

I dared to dream and went for a draw.

Shrimpetitus? Is that nasty ? Is it cureable ?

 

[1966 and all that]

Did I read somewhere that the ifollow code for S/T holders has changed?

 

[1966 and all that]

I mean has the system changed?

 

[Chrisb]

I mean has the system changed?

I think it is the same for Tuesday (although I have not yet received a code) and will change from Saturday.

IMPORTANT IFOLLOW INFORMATION

There is an important change that Southend United Season Card holders need to be aware of regarding iFollow Blues.

Oldham score an average of just under 1.5 goals per game, whilst conceding a shade over 2 goals per game.

We also concede 2 goals per game, but manage a paltry 0.5 goals per game.

So by that nonsensical logic, I’m going 2-1 to Oldham
