Southend Predictions

[Isleworth_Bee]

Lots of rotation so a tight game but we should edge it. I dont think they have had a great start to the season.

2-1 Bees Judge and Nico.

 

[w7 bee]

We’ll just edge this one with Cliff Crown (late sub) getting the winner.

 

[Brentford Bob]

With our 'reserve' team looking as strong (on paper) as it does... I'm going for a big win.... four nil to us.

 

[ruislip bee]

Can we change the entire team or do we have to play a certain number who started previous game?

 

[Gee Bee]

Much depends what Southend team turns up. It won’t be a stroll.

 

[Leonardo]

2-1 Squad rotation but we have questions over unproven CF. Judge and Benrahma to score.

I think Forss will be ok but needs the game time and support from everyone as there will be times this season when he will be needed.

I agree but he's not played at all at this level. I think he's got it and hope he translates B team goals last season into 1st team goals. But it is a big step up for him and hope he doesn't let the pressure get to him

Agree. Without going too far off topic i wonder if we are in the mix come Jan will the club try and sign a striker................. A lot of potential pressure on the young man.

 

[shouldbee]

5-4 on pens :shrug:

 

[Floydbee]

Judge to spark out that **** hyam..bees to win..?

Exactly. Expecting a tight game.

 

[Rob-BEE]

Expecting a similar game to the AFC Wimbledon one last year, won't be easy but I think we'll edge it 1 or 2-0.

Really hope Judgey gets on the score sheet, you can see how desperate he is to make his mark since he's come back, think it will be a big relief for him.

I've been wondering about that. The cup rules say the team will play it's "full available strength", with a policy issued to define that. I can't find any reference to the current policy.

Here's the EFL Carabao cup rule from their site.

6.5 Each Club shall play its full available strength in and during all Cup Competition matches, unless some satisfactory reason is given. The Board will from time to time issue a policy as to what constitutes 'full available strength'. In the event of the explanation not being deemed satisfactory the Management Committee shall have power to impose such penalties as they shall think fit. The provisions governing disciplinary matters in relation to the Competition are contained in Rule 24.

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

2-1 either way depending on what team we put out........more likely 2-1 them though knowing past history of cup competitions thesedays

Is this a new policy? Or one that they just ignore when 95% of teams don't comply with it. We certainly won't be playing a 'full available strength' team.

Been in the rules for years.

 

[AB]

As long as we beat them I don't think anyone's going to complain about an understrength team.
