Aw poor Nigel Adkins, hope he's alright. Unlucky given it's a breakthrough case from the sounds of things (assuming it's been two weeks since his second jab).
Agree. The first half starting team is what would be the 1st team, apart from those isolating. The 2nd half team is the U23 squad, led by the old warhorse Pearce.
People may wonder why Pearce is not playing with today's 1st team ....... my guess Pearce is a left footer, same as Famewo but Akin is 1st choice as left sided CB.
Elerewe (New Deji) is right footed and highly rated, therefore takes Inniss' place at right CB, pending another incoming CB signing?

Both Innis & Gilbey have now missed all 3 pre-season games. The first 2 were down to "niggles"......I wonder if the same goes for today or if its Covid related.

Trouble is they might now be fit, but if their niggles happened early in pre-season then they could well be two weeks behind in terms of basic fitness - Hence why we're not seeing Schwartz yet either

I wouldn't read anything into the selection at all other than those starting will probably get nearer an hour than 45 minutes. I wouldnt read anything in to it until the Fulham game tbh.

Would swap Vennings with Gilbey as well
Of course, Vennings would have played with the U23s if Gilbey had been fit.
There's 13 'subs' today BTW, 2 'spare' players in case anyone needs to come off. Perhaps they don't get a run out if there's no injuries, like against Welling?

I imagine they want some experience in the second half to guide the youngsters

Oh, wouldn't matter I suppose because our squad building has been a success & we could easily replace them with the other members of the squad 🤔🤫.
Seems like getting players in before transfer deadline day is important after all. Who would have thought it.
Do you know which players are missing due to COVID?
Harness
Matthews Elerewe Famewo Purrington
Morgan Dobson Vennings
DJ Stockley Washington
Hope Nigel and the rest of those now self-isolating get well soon
