Strong bench too, good to see we have plenty of back up.

Would’ve liked McCullough in middle of park to add a bit of cover for the defence. 3 attacking players could leave us open. Especially away from home

McCann has said on the radio that he has no injuries and therefore a full squad to choose from.
I thought Luke would have at least been on the bench.

Personally I would have had him in the team instead of Whiteman.

On a side note, I see the new rule in L1 looks like being keep playing until Sunderland score.

Good morning everyone, great weather here in Eastern Canada, hope it's the same in Southend, be a great season opener, would be wonderful day if we can secure a win, we have a team who can do it.
Title: Re: Southend v rovers
Post by: Dutch Uncle on August 04, 2018, 02:47:07 pm
By the way there is actually a new rule in the EFL this season.

Each club must name at least one 'homegrown' player in the 18 man team sheet, or only name 17 players. Oversimplifying 'homegrown' means having played at least a year (I think) in our own age group teams. Lund and Amos and most of our youth players qualify (not Watters and not sure about Blaney). 

Also re McCullough, always a chance he was ill on the day

COYR  :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

 ROVCON 2

Edit have just seen BST's post on main board, so 1 is high tension, 5 low

Wasn't worried at first...first game, home team up for it and out of the traps early as you would expect but you can see they think the breakthrough is imminent. Just lacking a mister to put his foot on it and keep the ball at present.

Have we the players to play a counter attacking game? Not looking good at the moment. Get to HT 0-0 and reshape the team.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on August 04, 2018, 03:42:49 pm
I know it's a point you're going to keep pressing, and as it stands that's understandable. Players should be able to defend as well as attack however if we're outnumbered then collectively they are not doing their jobs. Looks like maybe Kane might be required sooner rather than later.

Dangerous tactic, a defence can only last for so long before the opposition score. To play the counter attacking game the ball has to be moved fast out of defence through midfield to the attacking players.
Title: Re: Southend v rovers

Sky bet stats, Southend Shots on target 8 off target 3 corners 5 possession 57%

Rovers Shots on target 0 off target 1, corners 0 possession 43%

Looks like a team who haven't got a clue what they are doing.

It does remind me a little of the sheff Utd friendly we battered them and had loads of chances and their keeper made some worldies to keep them in it, we lost 2-0 , could this go the same way and we come out and play in the 2nd half

Organising to absorb pressure and hitting on the break is one thing.

Being run ragged and conceding a load of chances with nowt in reply is another.

We sound more like the latter.

Nearly 10 mins of added time... redculous

Why is it ridiculous, if it was correct?  I dunno, I wasn’t there..

Anyway, the result is the same :)

It wasn't ridiculous at all. A minute for each of the five goals, a few subs, a drinks break, Andrew's injury... all adds up.



First 25 minutes or so were awful and I was expecting brutal sodomy but they hung in there and grew into the game. Came flying out of the traps in the second half imo and maybe could've had at least one more.

How was it RedJ, was it the free flowing attacking football which we were promised? If not, does it look like there was potential glimpses of it?

It’s supposed to be 30 seconds per goal and 30 seconds per sub.

At times, yes there was free flowing attacking football. It was enjoyable to watch. We do need to impose ourselves more in the coming games as we looked like we'd get f**k knocked out of us after the way it started but there were promising signs.

Even so, two and a half minutes from the goals alone, then the subs, and the water breaks. Soon adds up.

That’s what I thought too, but if goal celebrations and substitutions take longer, the officials can add that time too..

Very rare you get 10 mins injury time though unless you’ve had a serious injury

Pendant alert.. it’s not just “injury time” though, is it?

Anyway, we won the game..

I've thought for many years now that time added one was always too little to be honest. I notice yesterday a few others with larger than the usual 3-5 mins added on - I wonder if refs/offcials teams have been told to make sure it's more accurate.

The four minutes at the end of the first half was much more than I expected too.
I was thinking also that it might be a new instruction to refs.


Don’t worry though, the novelty will probably wear off and we will be back to normal by Christmas.

There were two water breaks in the first half so that will account for some of it, as well as the usual stoppages.

I’m sure you know what I meant, other than the Rotherham game last year I don’t recall playing anywhere near 55 minutes in a half regardless of what you want to call it

Luton away, something like 12 added on to the first half. Seem to remember there was a fair bit added on at Charlton too.
