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

[dickos1]

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

[dknward2]

Good 11 and strong bench plus missing players in Luke and young Alfie

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.

[Dutch Uncle]

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

 ROVCON 2

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

So, owt happening in the game??

[Batleyred]

Good save Marossi

[Barmby Rover]

Shots on target Southend 3 Rovers 0

[Batleyred]

Southend on top at the minute.

[drfchound]

Two good saves by Marko.

[eastender]

Sounds like it's all one way at the moment , and not our way.

[eastender]

7 attempts to 0 

[Barmby Rover]

southend 60% possession, 4 shots on target 4 corners 1 shot off target. Rovers 40% posession

[hoolahoop]

Come on Rovers stop fecking abaht

[Surrey Rover]

We are all over the place, shocking currently

[goalkick]

Well done Marosi.not looking good.not happening midfield.

[dknward2]

Southend all over us only marko keeping us in it should be about 3 nil to Southend tbh

[hoolahoop]

Lulling them into a false sense of security and then .....BHAM ....just like a Batman movie

[DonnyOsmond]

Ahh this free flowing attacking football is going well.

[Akinfenwa]

Seems like shooting practice for them.

10 shots in 20 minutes is worrying.

[mpc123]

We need to get on the ball quick and put a few passes together we sound all over the place at the moment. First game though plenty of time, hopefully we settle down a bit

[Barmby Rover]

"Counter pressing" going well then.

[drfchound]

Marosi again keeps us level.

[dickos1]

Not the midfield for an away game.
Very worrying mcann thinks it is

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Who's gone missing in action then?
