Pre-Match Thread Southend v Shrewsbury

[Hawkwell Blue]

If you don't win on Saturday you are in real trouble. Been following the Town for nearly 40 years now and this team shambles are some of the most depressing to represent the Club, and we had some real gargabe under Jake King and Kevin Ratcliffe. I think Paul Hurst's first job will be to introduce the players to each other.

This thread from Blue and Amber sums up the feelings of most Town fans.

Feel sorry for you, I mean, living in Basildon. :winking:

Very true. This is a big game for the Brown outers if we win they could be on for a long winter. Traditionally November is the worse month for them as we never seem to loose.

Sneer all you want. I can only guess you weren't at the Fleetwood game, where we put in one of the most gutless, lethargic displays I've ever witnessed at RH. Bearing in mind the much-respected Karl Robinson got the boot at MK after their display in Saturday's game, Brown is very lucky to still be in a job after that shambles a few weeks ago. I just hope our recent improved form can continue, and if it doesn't, he doesn't panic and make the sort of drastic changes that got us into this mess in the first place.

Good job the Chairman knows a bit more than you then.

Thanks. It could be worse I could work in Southend.:hilarious:

 

[BasildonShrew]

You have my sympathy BasildonShrew - it is not nice being at the bottom of the table but someone has to be there. And it has been quite a yo-yo time for your club over the last few years with relegations and promotions.

A new manager and a new start can sometimes galvanise players .......... I just hope that after Saturday we have the three points and the Shrews are saying "at least we are playing better".

Thanks. We are where we deserve to be. In a funny way it would almost be worse if there was a massive improvement on Saturday. I would have to question the ayers attitudes even more.

Indeed, a bold decision by Ron - assuming the alternative option was available of course. :winking:

Do you think Deegan will play on Saturday BasildonShrew?

A lot of shrimpers would say that Deegan is just the type of player that you want in a relegation battle, do yo agree?

Over 6,000 tickets now sold for this game:smile:

 

[banjo saviola]

Anybody know if the Shrimpers bar is doing any deals before the game? ..Sorry to go a little off topic but need to sort out a meeting place for some fellow Shrimpers

Don't know of any deals but we've always got the guest ale on and we've had a refurb in there and got new TVs - it's a lot more pleasant! I doubt there'll be too many away supporters for this one either.

Much more fun commuting?

You do need someone to put their foot in. I quite like what I see of Gary Deegan, the part I don't like is both him and Ian Black appear to be brain dead at times with the challenges. I have no problem with a player picking up bookings for fouls, really easy to get in the modern game. The problem I do have is players throwing themselves into stupid lunges when there is no need to at all. Numerous bookinsg for both players havebeen totally avoidable.

We need to play a settled side when you are forever having players sent off and suspended on bookings you can't get any stability.
