Forest Green
Tuesday’s football match at Roots Hall pits together Southend United and Forest Green, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the 2020/21 season. The Seasiders are desperate to secure the League Two survival, while Forest Green’s main goal is to book a place in the playoffs. Southend United were not in action at the weekend, meaning that tired legs are unlikely to prove to be a big problem for the rock-bottom side.
In their last league match the Seasiders did well to beat Walsall on the road. The Green Army, on the other hand, aim to regain their spot in top three, and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Forest Green showed character in a 2-2 draw with Barrow, with Cadden scoring the equalizer in the 6th minute of the stoppage time, and they are surely capable of beating the relegation strugglers behind closed doors.
Highlighted Player (Mark Oxley):
Born in Sheffield, England, on the 2nd of June, 1990, Oxley's football journey started as a Rotherham youth product. The English International signed his first professional contract with the Millers in 2007 but failed to make a single appearance for the club during that season.
The following season, he signed for Hull City, who, in turn, sent him out on successive loans to clubs like Walsall, Grimbsy Town, Oldham Athletic, and Hibernian. The 6ft 3-inch goalkeeper's professional debut meanwhile, came on the 27th of February, 2010, playing for Grimbsy in a 2-0 away loss to Dagenham in League Two. Oxley's performance during his six-month loan period with Hibernian earned him a permanent deal. He signed a two-year contract starting with the club in July 2015. In his time at the Scottish outfit, he made 90 appearances and kept 35 clean sheets. Oxley then joined his current club Southend in July 2016 on an initial two-year deal.
He had a fantastic first season, winning both fans' player of the year and players' player of the year awards. As of August 2018, Oxley has signed a contract extension and also got given the captain's armband. On the International forefront, the 29-year-old is a former youth International having capped once for England at the under-18 level.
