Official Match Thread Stevenage Town v Southend United

What up with Simon Cox taken off, or PB was going round the rule by taking Cox off to save him for Sat, Bridge on to replace him.

 

[Bratislava Blue]

Bridge on for Cox after 9 minutes.

Can't believe this.. I changed my first scorer prediction when the team was announced from Bridge to Cox...:angry:

 

[mattitouk]

Apparently Cox has made a miraculous recovery straight after being subbed off :hilarious:

Commentary suggested that Bridge was already warming up before the ref blew for the kick off. Im guessing and hoping it was a tactical decision to the required amount of players that need to start.

Nice to see PB seemingly treating the competition with the contempt it deserves. Well done :thumbsup:

Just had confirmation from someone at the match who said Bridge was stripped and ready before Cox was injured! :smile:

Jason Williams, though! .. Can't get on the pitch even when a striker is deliberately substituted! :smile:

I'm not sure Cox actually touched the ball when he was out there.

 

[RHB]

0-2 This is going well

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Have the wheels fallen off ?

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

I say this waiting for criticism - is Ted Smith really any good?

Smart move by Brown-that's a rarity!2-0 down-luckily we are already through and can play a full- strength line-up in the next round!

Criticizing (chk sp), :tease::tease::tease:

you are asking a decent question.... but the defence will get blamed...

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

3 players from Saturday, rules state there should be 5 who started Saturday or who have started a certain percentage of league games. Barrett might qualify through the percentage rule or it may be that Demetriou on international duty and injury to Oxley provide two exemptions.

We'll be fine then, we played Friday.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Mrs B must be spitting fire :omg:

 

[Polish_Blues]

It's show that some of our players are not good enough to get near our bench, never mind into our first 11!

 

[AndyT]

Might have to be careful here.

If we lose and Orient win, we'll finish second in the group.

That said, Orient are losing! :blush::smile:

 

[tottenham541]

This is simple, should be 4-0 down already:omg:

AB by chance :whistling:

 

[RHB]

Has anyone heard if Timlin has had a touch yet??

 

[Tommy2holes]

Anyone there with an update?
