    Based on fitness and what we've seen in pre-season



    No room for Fullah unfortunately, Mannion, Burke, Godden, Berry and Taylor miss out through injury, I'd expect A. Mitchell, Kanu and Ahadme to have left by this time next week. 

    Enslin and Dixon alongside Fullah to be the wildcards that could break into the first team squad/impress in cup games
    Think it will be this but maybe Leaburn instead of Kelman. It probably depends on if Kelman plays well today or if Jones thinks he could do with a bit more time to gel and start the Stevenage game instead

    wouldn't be totally surprised if we don't go 433 with TC and Tanto either side of Kelman  
    Haven't played that shape at all in pre-season, I'd be stunned if we suddenly switch to it in the first game

    Kaminski 

    Apter Ramsay Jones Bell Edwards 

    Coventry Rankin-Castello Carey 

    Olaofe Leaburn 

    Purely based on fitness for this particular game. 

    I see our best 11 having Kelman in for Olaofe and Knibbs in for Carey. 

    However, I do see Olaofe starting away to teams where we will be counter attacking and low possession due his runs into the channels being effective.

    Won't it depend how southend play, who they have and how they set up, and then more so for Watford? Watford being higher grade could mean the game with Southend may tell us rather little.

    Longer term I just can’t see Doc getting a game 

    Hopefully Dr Will Abbott stays on the side lines as we have enough players now.😀

    Yep, I think exactly this. Perhaps, Kelman in for Leaburn but let’s see. 

    Subs bench will be super strong:

    AMB/Mannion, Gilllesphy, Mitchell/Burke, Doc, Anderson, Knibbs, TC, Kelman, Godden (if fit/Mbick if not)

    This is the final game before season starts,and just the test Charlton need before next weekend 🤣.

    Hope Nathan has got everything up and running,

    I hope it’s Alaofe.  I like TC but from the bits I’ve seen, Tanto does more

    If we only have five new signings in our starting XI, Nathan has some explaining to do.

    That sort of selection will not keep us up.
    So if say Jones, Ramsay, Edwards, Coventry, TC, Godden start on Saturday, Nathan has explaining to do … give it a break

    I think Tanto might start ahead of Kelman on Saturday

    I asked ChatGPT to predict our strongest XI and it gave me PTSD

          Isted / Kaminski
    Edun – Jones – Hector – Bennett
           Dobson – Bell
       Blackett-Taylor – Anderson – Campbell
                 May

    It made a point of saying this was Chem Campbell
    I asked the same question - gave it the current squad list and the Southend line up:

    Kaminski

    Ramsay - Jones - Gillesphey - Bell

    Rankin-Costello - Coventry

    Olaofe - Carey - Campbell

    I’m not sure Kelman and TC works as a 2. Neither of them are good in the air. 

    I think Olaofe will start as Jones will most likely want at least 1 striker that’s able to compete and be a nuisance to defenders

    This for me except maybe Tanto for TC.
  • ElthamaddickElthamaddick
    I think Olaofe and TC start up top with Kelman on the bench, will need a bit more of a physical presence I think to begin with

    I was referring hypothetically to this nonsense statement - ‘If we only have five new signings in our starting XI, Nathan has some explaining to do.’

    First game back, big crowd, priority needs to be given to those players we’ve got a song for. #nosongnoplay
