v Southend 27.08.11: pre match thoughts; the game itself

[cplowe1]

I believe we have one. Looks like we'll be going with the same team. Fine by me. Maybe Burge will replace Morsy on the bench (better game for the reserves in the week according to my mate). Please. no last minute Prosser goal this time (think he might be injured actually, plus they have 'flu in the camp). Should be three points and a fine start to the season. So watch it go pear shaped. If it does I blame the lack of protests.

Their fans dont seem confident on the league 2 forum, saying that they play crap hoofball which was ok last year as they had that big lad corr maybe? but now with harris and dickenson up front they dont win headers so they say, two good forwards but if their not being used correctly they wont be much threat. I expect 3 points tomorrow i think at home we will be a touch too strong, 2-0 vale.

Still a dangerous forward pairing.

Oh yh definitely.

[clayton vale]

Would be a good time for our 1st clean sheet.

I think our first defeat could come tomorrow, they look a decent side but haven't started well...yet.

[Jacko51]

The reports suggested that they had murdered Burton but lost 1-0 last week. Hope we don't get the backlash from that. Dickinson hasn't done much for the last couple of years since he left Stockport but will need watching. And if Prosser doesn't score the late equaliser, we'll have to make sure Jemal Johnson doesn't either!

I'm going tomorrow:ohmy: so expect an abject performance and a no points. I usually miss the good games.

[Edge81]

Come on Vale! Lets keep going!

Difficult team selection at the minute. Surely we should be playing 442 or even 433 against lesser teams at home but on the other hand why change something that's not broke. I think MA will name the same team. The 3 in midfield work really well. We could still play Griff, Roberts and Loft in a 433 formation with Pope, Rigg and perhaps Dodds up front, with the latter 2 tucking into midfield when on the back foot.

We don't play 3 in midfield?

No problem, I was just heading off out to the pub and wanted to get a coherent thought out on tomorrow's match before I went.

[darren gilson]

I think we will win 2-0 tomorrow rigg and Yates to score

I thought we'd been playing 5-3-2? We definitely had 3 midfielders at Barnet - Roberts, Griff and Loft.
