eastwood starts upfront then, lets hope he does some work, glad woodyard starts tho.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Damn I always get beaten to these things. And you can't delete posts anymore. Apologies

 

[JStevo96]

Hopefully Freddy can bounce back from Tuesday night

Liking the team today.

Would imagine we will line up like this then:

Smith,

Clohessy, Cresswell, Barker, Straker,

Tomlin, Laird, Woodyard, Hurst

Eastwood, Assombalonga

Looks good to me, and should allow Straker to get forward a bit more with Hurst tucking in a bit more than Martin would. Glad to see Woodyard continue in the midfield - and of course, always good to see Freddy up front. Hopefully the Freddy/Brit partnership can flourish like Freddy and Wayne Gray back in the day...

Bench looks better too... Surprised to see Phillips there...

Time for Eastwood to prove a point I feel! Sur[prised to see the new guy start seeing as how he has hardly played this season, still hope he does a job.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

IMO, probably the best line up we've got at the moment

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Will be interesting to see how Tomlin fares out wide, with Eastwood partnering Assombalonga up front.

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

IMO, probably the best line up we've got at the moment

Agreed.

Anyone heard of how long Timlin might be out for?

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

First corner for us ..............not cleared..........great ball by Eastwood, Hurst just couldn't get on the end of it.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Really do need three points this afternoon, if not we risk losing early contact with the play-off places.

 

[WickfordShrimper]

play up southend and score us a goal

 

[MK Shrimper]

Fascinating game obviously.

 

[The General]

Thats 9 games in a row (at home) where we havent scored in the first half ( i believe!? )

 

[MK Shrimper]

2 shots on goal in 45 minutes? :nope:

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

First half.... Well we weren't bad but not good either. Eastwood looks off the pace, he lost the ball quite a few times. Tomlin actually has looked alright on the wing. Woodyard again looking decent. They look a little unsure going forward... Let's hope it improves second half. They are there for taking if we can just muster an attempt on goal

Exactly where the problem lies, we only start playing when when its normally too late.

Both games against Daggers we scored in first half, and Wycombe

Double save by Smith keeps us level........another header just wide by York..........hanging on!:sad:
