Southend United

Accrington Stanley

2013/14 Prediction League – Game 44; v Southend (away)

You might expect that a side in the playoff spots would be fairly tough to beat; you’d certainly think they’d be solid at home ……… so it’s a surprise to see that Southend have actually only won twice in their last 8 home games :confused: (Oxford 3-0 and Torquay 1-0 – which is the score that everyone beats Torquay by! :p:p); they’ve drawn 4 (Newport 0-0, Bury 0-0, Hartlepool 1-1 and Wycombe 1-1) and lost to the Wombles last time out (1-0) and Exeter (3-2); it actually isn’t any better away – 2 wins, three draws and three defeats, giving them an overall for their last 16 matches of 4 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats :rolleyes: …………..the other thing about them is that they don’t concede shedloads of goals – 38 in 43 League games, and their last eight at home have resulted in four clean sheets, three single goals, and one three. Not going to be easy, and likely not 7-4 (Wynonie please note!) :D

They’ve done some signing as well, nearly all on loan; two of the loanees (Cian Bolger and Luke O’Neill) suffered injuries in their debut games, which is unlucky :o:o ………They propersigned Adam Thompson (21), a defender from Watford with NI u21 credentials, and Senegalese MF Bedsente Gomes (25); they’ve brought back, on loan, Lee Barnard, who played for them from 2008 to 2010, scoring 37 in 85:), before moving on to Southampton (where he appears never to have played for the first team :(); recent loans include Liverpool’s Czech defender Jakub Sokolik (20), who they signed from Banik Ostrava in 2009/10; Sunderland’s Irish defender John Egan (21); and a pair of 19 year-olds from Norwich – Jacob Murphy, a winger, and Jamar Loza (striker)

We actually lead in the head-to-head :D:D; P7 W2 D4 L1 since they came down from League One at the end of season 2009/10; the only defeat was at our place (2-1 in 2011/12); the wins were by 3-1 at home in 2010/11, and by the odd goal in one at the beginning of last season, away, the goal being scored by ……………..anyone? Reading’s Karl Sheppard, who we had on loan :p

Leading goalscorers for the Blues are Kevan Hurst – Scunthorpe, Carlisle and Walsall – a 28 year-old MF, who has 12; Barry Corr (29 - Sheff Wed, Swindon, Exeter), a striker with a better than decent scoring rate of 44 in 112, who has 10 in the current campaign; Ryan Leonard (21), a midfielder who started at Plymouth (where he made one appearance), who has 7; and the veteran (over 30 = veteran :p:p:p:p) striker Freddy Eastwood, ex Southend first time round, Wolves and Coventry, with 6.

I think we owe a debt of gratitude to Burton for beating Hartlepool, and Pompey for doing Brizzle Rovers; teams in real trouble are still quite plentiful :cool: – mainly Northampton, Wycombe and Bristol Rovers, but I wouldn’t really like to be a Hartlepool, Exeter or Morecambe fan for the next couple of weeks either! :D We probably, realistically, don’t expect anything much from a trip to Southend (jellied eels, anyone? :o) but that’s when we’re at our most dangerous, it seems to me; we’ve actually taken more points, and won more games, away from home than we have at home :D; (home) W5 D10 L7 F30 A27; (away) W7 D5 L9 F19 A25 ……… outside of the top nine sides, only Cheltenham and Mansfield have won as many as we have away from home ……Makes you wonder ………!

Deadline for entries is, as always, scheduled kick-off time, which is 3pm on Easter Monday, 21st April. I think most people, in their hearts, believe that we’ve done enough to be safe – we’d have to have a real shedder of a collapse in form, and several sides would need to play out of their skin three times in a row …..I know we aren’t, mathematically, across the line, but my cup – thank you very much – is half full! And my nomination for Manager of the Season is ………..JB (In Whom We Trust) :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Good luck to everyone ……… ….Remember; passion overcomes logic……..….. Keep the Faith ……………… and thanks for playing!

...... (ignoring the spelling which can be put down to haste) landed at 1505 on Saturday. Would have been all right last week of course, but should I let it through this time? It would score a point, wonder what effect would that have on the table? Ah, just one place - so who would lose out? Me!! :eek: What to do, what to do??

You'll just have to look at the table (very near the bottom of part 1) to find out .... :tongueout

Meanwhile - no we're not statistically safe :(, but it would need hideous results elsewhere :rolleyes: and two dreadful performances from us :rolleyes: - surely passion won't overcome logic? So roll on the U's ... it would be the perfect time to beat a bogey team now, and hear 70 voices singing "Down with the Stanley .... you're staying down with the Stanley" at 1655 on Saturday :D.

On Stanley On!!

You somehow knew I was going to do that, didn't you :D

Not spot-on, only Ossy Kid took the max 5 points, but 3 was enough :) to make Teach "statistically safe" regardless of "results elsewhere". These included 4 for Football19 which took him 2 clear of AngeB, who after only picking up a single bonus point :( now shares third place with Sherry who got 3. 4 points, too, for DAV007, PMIG (by default of course) and Yerself. The other 3-point pessimists were Bdc, CmonStanley and Valairian.

The overall voting was 15 for us, 10 for them, and 14 for the draw - the thems had it, nonetheless :rolleyes:.

Now, an ethical dilemma :confused:. This post .....

I think that it should be OK, 5 mins in still 0-0. By the way, the title says game 40??

:) :) :)

Re: 2013 Prediction League; Game 40 v Southend Utd (away)

By the way it's Mansfield's results table. :D

Re: 2013 Prediction League; Game 40 v Southend Utd (away)

Woo hoo! Now all we need is for Stanley to be statistically safe come 5pm Saturday. (On the moral dilemma with Chubbyman's prediction, trouble is allowing it would set a precedent even though it doesn't change the table much).

Hi Joe

I was struck down with a bug courtesy of the grandchildren, the daughter and the wife ....... The way I felt it was lucky I managed to put a thread up at all (which also explains why it was the latest I've ever put up .......)

Only realised two days ago that I'd put 40 for 44 (get it? Forty for forty four :D)

And that's why this one was slightly early .... Guilt!

:o

Has happened to us twice in four seasons ....one we allowed (2 mins, still 0-0, and someone whose official duties may gave caused the problem) the other entry was 15 mins in and 1-0, and the guesser withdrew the entry when the circumstances and potential for problems were pointed out ....We try to stay alert. Britain needs lerts .........
