Drove as well so didn't even have ale to dull the pain ☹️ 7th September, 27 years ago! I'll not say it seems like only yesterday but bloody hell. Had a car load of Southend fans driving past taking the piss on the drive back. Still: new ground, 4 Wembleys and 2 Cardiffs, 9 UEFA aways later - versus what, you tinpot, National League, cockney wannabees? I like this sort of talk.

Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted August 14, 2023 Members Share Posted August 14, 2023 I'm wondering if we'll rest JDC and bring Forrester in so we can move Jones to right-back, saving JDC for Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s just for one game, pick Forrester v Wigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I think one thing that's stood out for us in the two league matches, compared to last season, is that we've had two genuine threats on both wings Jones can "do a job" but isn't the wing-back JDC is Edited August 14, 2023 by Lt.

I didn’t think we offered much down the right and Cogley struggled to get involved (midfield often choosing to go left or down the middle), certainly Williams far more involved. Just my take on it. And Forrester made his Stoke debut in a win at WBA, he’d take the Wigan game in his stride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I would not change a single player unless they have broken a leg (or been sold). Sheehan is very quickly proving me wrong as I had never rated him. However as he is now picking the ball up from centre halves it is freeing Morley and Dempsey (especially Dempsey) to play a bit further up the pitch, we look balanced. Dempsey is more left side , Morley right and it seems to be helping both wing backs. Big Vic and Dions work rate have been excellent too.

radcliffe white Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 IE made too many changes in the first part of last season, once we became settled our results became more consistent save rotation for the cup games or unless someone is carrying a knock this side has scored 6 & conceded 0 in the league why change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty enough cup ties in which a periphery player can at least show he’s worthy of a place on the bench ready to step up if the need arises. Until then, stick with what you’ve started with. I’d like another crack at 100 points and 100 goals. That means putting smaller teams to the sword every week, not underestimating them by playing a weakened team and ending up with nothing.

Wanderlust Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Wade Elliot's comment that our 5 subs that came on against Cheltenham would walk into any League 1 team has a ring of truth about it - although I'm still not sure about Dan - but we have the squad to put out a team for any opposition without weakening it in theory. And that's what IE claims he wants - the ability to tinker with the starting team to "tailor it" for each game i.e. bespoke rather than rotation as we know it. Just have to trust he knows what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
