lookersstandandy Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 And can anyone recommend a good book to take? Ha. Seeing as it's Southend, I read 'Radical', the Autobiography of a Southend native called Maajid Nawaz not long ago, that I found very interesting and would thoroughly recommend.

yarddog73 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Might be the first home league game i miss in a long, long time, zero enthusiasm whatsoever to even part with £15 for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If Robinson sticks with the players he trusts, does that mean we'll go 4-5-1 again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think if he sticks with the players he can trust we'll be playing 1-1-0-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If Robinson sticks with the players he trusts, does that mean we'll go 4-5-1 again? We certainly should. Just need to push more men forward and it's the perfect formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 We certainly should. Just need to push more men forward and it's the perfect formation. I agree that it's the best formation to use for the moment. 4-4-2 leaves us too exposed in central midfield with the players we currently have in there and 2 up front for most of the season hasn't made any of our strikers more prolific. McLaughlin and Flynn are decent but I don't see either of them offering close support for Mckay from the flanks. For us to win with this team we need one of the 3 centre mids (Banks probably is the most likely candidate) to support Mckay regularly if we are to stand any chance of being an attacking threat. Sadly even if we do maximise the effect of our tactics, I still don't think we have the quality in the midfield and attack to do anything.

TheBigDog Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If Robinson sticks with the players he trusts, does that mean we'll go 4-5-1 again? I hope not as we simply do not have the player who can play the lone man up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If Robinson sticks with the players he trusts, does that mean we'll go 4-5-1 again? While Fane is suspended the manager will probably have to turn to players he doesn't trust. What does he says to them "I don't trust you, but have to play you anyway" ?

Bunty Blue Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 And can anyone recommend a good book to take?[ "The turn of the screw" by Henry James I think is set near Southend or some of it is. Never read it mind but the title quite apt as watching Latics at the moment is like being on the torture rack with each passing game akin to the screws being tightened a notch further. Agony.

BP1960 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Or more likely "show me why I'm wrong" That seems to fallen on deaf ears in the past with some. Where does he go from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it... “I’ve said to the boys either on the bench or in the stands that until I learn to trust them, I’m going with that team and I’ll be sticking with it. “Until I get new players in that I know what they will give me then we will end up progressing up the league."

Monty Burns Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Is there anybody in the squad still on a six month deal? Sounds like theyre moving on. Keep Croft tho if he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Well we did progress up the league - one place at a time will do. Realisation that a home game, the one in eight after the 'frozen' pitch debacle, and I have a season card. August was good and then came September, October wasn't so bad but then came November, December has seen our worst display for years. January could be suicidal with four home games if the transfer embargo remains in place. Always look on th..............................

Which of course he cant stick with as Fane is suspended for the Southend game. Edited December 12, 2016 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
