Pre-Match Thread Southend United vs Shrewsbury Town

[RHB]

And the next game up at Roots Hall is against 2nd placed Shrewsbury Town this Saturday at 3pm. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that, baring injury, it will be the same 11 that started yesterday.

Will we produce more of the good stuff from the Charlton performance? Your guess is as good as mine, but I do think we will pick up another 3 points and gain an element of revenge for the 0-1 defeat at their gaff.

No reason to change, so yes.

We're going to get spanked ....... But my 100% watch and win ratio is not in doubt

Dreading to see the state of the pitch getting played on twice in 5 days but in terms of the starting 11, as you were from Boxing Day

 

[Cultist of Sooty]

I couldn't get to the boxing day game because no trains. But I'll be at this one.

Let's hope for more of what we had yesterday. Let's end the year on a high. Come on you Blues!

John White at right back please - we could do with a defender in there.

I think if Wright doesn't recover from his hamstring injury, we may see JW at RB and Demi at RM

Same line up
All out attack
We’re gonna win

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Hopefully a win but think we will get a draw.Lenny scoring a thunderbolt in his final apperance

On shrewsbury Web they are saying " we should be beating teams like southend": funny how teams have a good half season and then start talking like they are a big club. That did make me smile and also made me hope we really spank them and put them in their place.

I think every club says that, in truth.

Also, they have been beating Southend, the last few times we've met, especially up there.

Every club fans are the same. It was the same on here when we have been doing very well in the past.

Quite possibly but I genuinely believe John is a better player than Demetriou. For all the hype when he arrived I'm still waiting for this brilliant player to emerge from the tunnel - very average for me.

Hope so, but will be a tougher nut to crack than Charlton, as they have only conceded 14 goals all season.

 

[Fairport]

This will be a difficult game. They have a very doodle young manager and apparently are well organised. The manager says that they are a very fit team who finish games strongly. They will be much better than a poor depleted Charlton team. Should be a good test for us.

 

[Fairport]

Don't know how the word doodle got in there!!

 

[NZamba Legend]

Despite Shrewsberry's lofty position I can only envisage an easy three points for the Shrimpers. We will carry on where we left off on Boxing Day and put this Salop shower to the sword. Cheers!

If you compare him to Coker, then there is no comparison. Not a good defender but bang average going forward. Another option is needed there.

Me too. I think it will be 0-0, and I would accept that considering they have the 2nd best defensive record in the league. Add to that, they kept the goal scoring machine that is Wigan to 0-0 on Boxing Day, I think we will be hard pushed to get a win. Although (as ever) I live in hope.

That's a bit harsh. I would say his defending is a 5 and his attacking a 6 or 7. White is a 7 defending and a 5 going forward. Not much in it. White is a far better centre half than a right back.
