Pre-Match Thread Southend United vs Plymouth Argyle

[McNasty]

Well chaps, it's been a long time coming.

The first match of the season ---- what are your thoughts ?

 

[farawayshrimper]

On second thoughts 0-1, lets not too over excited.

 

[Beefy]

I'm not optimistic, to be honest.

 

[NZamba Legend]

I think we're gonna buy Plymouth a can o' whup ***.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Tight game good atmosphere. Blues scrap a 2-1 win infront of 6k

 

[onlyonekingkevin]

Hat-trick from Reid !!!! 3-4 to Plymouth :winking:

 

[turkishm]

Big forwards and pacey wingers. I am afraid we will find out very quickly how much we will miss Creswell. 0 2 lose I fear.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Feeling more optimistic with these new signings. I can see there being goals in this one, I'm going for a 2-2 draw. Corr and Hurst with the goals. :happy: My team would be:

Bentley, White, Phillips, Prosser, Coker, Leonard, Laird, Clifford, Atkinson, Eastwood, Corr
Subs: Smith, Barker, Straker, Timlin, Hurst, Reid, Njie

Hurst is a good player .......... but it will be tricky for him to score if he isn't in the starting XI or on the bench. :facepalm:

 

[onlyonekingkevin]

2 more signings are going to announced later today so my line up would be ...

Bentley

White Phillips Prosser Bennett

Leonard Atkinson Clifford Laird Straker

Corr

Subs: Smith , Coker , Timlin , Pinnock , Payne ,Reid , Eastwood

(a little birdy told me Smith is nearly match fit)​

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

isn't Hurst injured?

 

[enfieldblue]

roll on Saturday, can't wait

 

[kentblues]

Bentley
White Phillips Prosser Coker
Atkinson Laird Clifford Straker
Corr Eastwood

Bennett, Reid, Leonard, Hurst, Timlin, Payne, Smith

None to shabby- if Forte rolls up guess him for Payne

Starting to see the real potential strength of the squad that I think is very good - not least because of the number of players who can cover different positions

 

[Ricey]

We are gonna smash them 6-0 and prove all the doubters wrong.

 

[Silencer]

I have a good feeling about tomorrow, just turned down overtime so we had better win!!!!

3-1 Blues with a crowd of 6,300 ish

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Not feeling bad about Saturday ........ just the "usual" unease at the start of a new season. I think our weakness at the moment is not quite knowing what our best midfield combination is. I am not knocking any of the players but it is about getting them working as a unit and working with the defence and attackers ........... that may not come right immediately at 3:00 pm on Saturday.

 

[Angell Delight]

I have a good feeling about tomorrow

Me too, but what about Saturday? :smile:

 

[Romford Shrimper]

Tight close game, 2-1 Blues. Freddy with both in front of 6700.
