MATCH DAY THREAD: Southend v The Mighty Blades

[seanbeenstattoo]

Freeman being better at wing back is no reason not to switch to a back 4.

We've used the diamond sort of thing plenty of times. That could give us more midfield control. Bring Carruthers on and we could have 5 in midfield.

I'm with you on the 5 man midfield,but Freeman at CB worries me. He can't stop his natural instinct to bomb on and never gets back to cover,we had this time and time again when we played 4 at the back.
Maybe Clarke on to try and hold the ball up?

As a CB I have more faith in O'connell, obviously EEL has been great and is loved for all the right reasons, and his goals help. But O'connell is the better CB for me.

How nice to argue over who is the better CB rather than who is the worse though.

Nice to actually even have some

Payback!

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

Carruthers off for Scougall???
Bet he's proper pissed off!!!

 

[Ricky]

Hopefully Ruthers will be OK - he was initially going to play on by the sounds of it so he should be fine.

 

[Smoked_Sammon]

Carruthers off for Scougall???
Bet he's proper pissed off!!!

Whats happened here?!? Is he injured?

 

[Sneinton Blade 1952]

Is that tactical or for injury?

Carruthers off for Scougall???

Precaution

Precaution

They've scored...but too little...the mighty blades march on and trample the teams below

 

[Jehovah]

Carruthers off because he was injured. Didnt seem serious.

 

[derfblade.3]

Cox hit the bar..........ahhhh!

[coolhandluke]

Great win but 3 goals from defenders !!!!

 

[Grappler]

Shame we let that second goal in, we were only one goal, goal difference on Scunny, 25 - 26, which is now 24 - 26. Doesn't seem that long ago they were 15 or 20 clear on goal difference.

 

[Grappler]

Great win but 3 goals from defenders !!!!

Would class Freeman as an attacking winger/midfielder really, but I get your drift

 

[derfblade.3]

4 goals away from home,,,,,who cares who scored....just try to enjoy a win....ffs!

Would class Freeman as an attacking winger/midfielder really, but I get your drift

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Great win but 3 goals from defenders !!!!

It's called 'total football'

I was being a little bit mischievous there grappler ..... I genuinely couldn't give a fuck where they come from . That wins a clear message sent all around the League today .

Chuffed for Lavery too . Here's hoping he'll now nail the second striker role and go on a prolific run .

CDs ? You're showing your age mate!

 

[Ricky]

Yep, really glad Lavery scored. His goal was effectively the winner too.
