Pre-Match Thread Wigan Athletic vs Southend United

[RHB]

Sometimes it can be therapeutic to look ahead rather than to look back. With that in mind, next Saturday the team is off to Lancashire and a visit to Wigan Athletic who sit in second place in FL1. Piece of cake, we're going to rip them up.

I'm not going to bother with a team selection just yet as there are a few injury issues to know about , oh, and Anton won't be available in case you hadn't heard. So we go again and of course we'll all be wondering what the fuss was about at Donny won't we?

I've posted this pre-match thread early by the way as the current Donny post match thread is depressing the **** out of me.

I'm going to hedge a bet for a 1-1 with Wigan getting a late equaliser.

However I have just been relegated from the prediction league :hilarious:

 

[Pubey]

2-2 I'm going for. Been looking forward to this one (it's my birthday this week as well).

 

[Shrimperforlife]

We are as likely to win 4-2 as lose 4-2 ... thats the beauty of this club, never know what we will get ....

Wigan are 55/1 against a 4-2 win, we are 250/1.

By the way Danburyshrimper you can make a killing on your 8-0 at 500/1.

 

[Lord Football]

I've been to Wigan twice and twice we've shipped four. Ho hum...

Reckon we might see Turner as well.....

 

[Shrimperforlife]

With the lack of defensive options and the leaky defense can only see a drubbing ......think this is going to be a very fraught season , up and down and the sooner we get to 52 points the better ....dont want any last game must win scenarios thank you very much .....

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Looks like we will have Lenny and White in the back four. Hendrie back with Timlin in midfield

 

[Shrimpet]

What about turner and kightley?

The good news is that we have NOT lost to a team from Lancashire this season:

Record against Lancashire Teams is:

P 4 W 3 D 1 L 0 F 8 A 4

Not so good against Yorkshire teams:

P 2 W 0 D 0 L 2 F 1 A 9

Think tongue in cheek. On a good day we will loose 2-0 , on a bad day loose 5-0. A win or draw unthinkable on present form !!:winking:

 

[kentblues]

I suspect Turner has been pulled from the U23 game because he will be needed on Saturday- its been confirmed its not injury related. In which case it will be Turner and White at CB- not a bad pairing and some height at last at the back..

Can only see the goal difference taking another hammering here. I'm going for an optimistic 3-0 win to Wigan.
