    Must admit i'm slightly puzzled why we keep starting Kanu, as i keep hearing he's going out on loan. I can only assume that NJ is undecided on him.
    They all need minutes and keeping match sharp, loan or not...

    I dont think that Kanu has looked that bad this Pre-Season.

    He just needs minutes though, rather than the sporadic game time Grant used to get

    Dont think that can be guaranteed with those names ahead of him

    I would suggest outside of Ramsay who needs the minutes and Kaminski who as a GK will start to get locked in now, this is the reserves essentially.

    This tells me that the first team is looking like:

    Kaminski
    Ramsay
    Jones
    Bell
    Apter
    Edwards
    Coventry
    Docherty
    TC
    Leaburn
    Kelman 

    Knibbs to come in to this 
    I'd put Gillesphey in for Bell, and Olaofe in for Kelman or TC come Watford at the moment.

    MAYBE even Costello in for Docherty
    Kaminski
    Ramsey
    Jones
    Gillesphey
    Apter
    Coventry 
    Doc
    Edwards 
    Knibbs
    Kelman
    Olaofe

    Starting v Watford at the moment

    Baffling team .  
    Why?
    Just that half of the team won’t be playing against Watford and this is the only meaningful friendly left .  
    What... You think that they need a full on match to get used to each other.

    That can also be done on the training pitch

    I'd still rather focus on minutes in the legs right up until Watford, than telegraphing our best eleven
    What’s your name ,  Nathan?

    Ok Nathan 
    To be fair I think Ronnie is right here. Don’t know why he gets ridiculed. 

    Instead of being sarcy why don’t you just come back with your ideal 11. With what’s happened today of all days we should not be hating and mocking others! Get a grip of yourself.

    Be surprised if Knibbs is in the starting eleven so soon, but yeah, don't think you're far off

    Can we expect a ‘sparkling’ performance from Lambrusco (Lembikisa) ? 😉😆

    Sounds a lot like the stuff that Katrien Meire used to play. Maybe she's back as CEO

    Completely agree with what has been said above,  Would’ve hoped by now we would have started playing a team which would resemble what we might start against Watford,  given the nature of the opponents we are playing. Southend will tell us absolutely nothing 
    Don’t think I have ever seen us play the team
    that starts our first game of the season in a pre season friendly. Most teams like to keep under wraps the starting team for the first game of the season 
    The eleven that played against Portsmouth in the last pre season friendly 12 months ago all started v Wigan

    Its a bit dark at Colchester isn't it...? - They could at least turn the Floodlights on
