I like Brown, he thinks we are playing entertaining football at the moment... seems that they are going to try to close down early and counter attack quickly. I am sure the Valley will give Ranger a warm welcome as we do all ex-cons but Sarfend do have players that can worry Cox, Kightly & Ferdinand (if playing) but we should have enough for a comfortable 3-1 win. In poll your have two votes .. use one for result and one for crowd AllHell
Magennis back for us and Sarfend getting over a major injury crisis. I reckon we should have enough in the tank for this one, but The Essex boys will want to stop us and I doubt they will come to roll over and have their bellies rubbed. Tight match which hopefully we win.
We ought to be winning this but I have the feeling it could be a score draw. he crowd will probably be up on the Northampton game, perhaps the highest this season so far (that's not saying much however). Maybe 10,000 real people. The weather is looking a bit iffy however, might put off some of the "take-it-or-leave-it" new customers the Club is working so hard to attract.
We should start with our full strength team tomorrow, with Magennis & da Silva back. Two big questions on the day - will mystery man Reeves appear, and will Reams' missus let him have the car keys.
You should have waited... Reams said that we will get 'cheap digs' for free in January ... unless he signs a new 2 year contract that is
To be fair to Old Reamsy, he did promise that we would soon see Will Grigg playing at the Valley, and next Tuesday night he will be proved correct.
I've bottled it and gone for the draw - but I'm saying no score draw as its Friday and feeling crazy. On paper it looks a good game - which will be contested openly. It will be good to see Holmes and Kightly battle it out as both are considered the best wide men in the league. Are people attending the game?
Yep, got a geezer coming over from Switzerland so I feel obliged to go, plus I'll be going to the Peterborough game. A similar situation with another fella coming over from abroad. Hopefully I will not be having any more foreign visitors for a while. North Greenford v Harpenden today for the Elf fashion show.
North who? Elfs, there comes a point where non league morphs into park football. Are you throwing darts into a very detailed map?
And we win a tight game 2-1 ! I predicted that somewhere!! Sounded tough but it also sounds like Southend are a tough Little cookie, and that could be a very good three points later in the season. Happy days again, and as has become strangely habitual, it'll be nice to wake up sunday with three points. Plus Dartford won 3-0 so nice weekend.
