    If the season started tonight, who's everyone's first XI as it stands? Taking into account current fitness levels and injuries?

    Kaminski 
    Ramsay Jones Bell Mesík 
    Docherty Coventry 
    Grant Carey Campbell 
    Godden

    Brooks, McNamara, Koumetio, Enslin, Rankin-Costello, Knibbs, Fullah, Olaofe, Leaburn 

    Obviously I'd rather have Kelman, Alli, Sichenje, Apter, Mannion and Edwards all involved somewhere, plus 3 new faces at a minimum 
    With that midfield, nul point. And Doc not even fit enough for the friendly tonight.

    Scary thing is we are one injury away from starting Knibbs or Oloafe

    Might be just a friendly but it’s a massive game for players like Knibbs and Mwamba it’s a big chance to stake a claim

    Lincoln 3-0 down to Grimsby.

    Means nothing but good to see another fan base in meltdown.

    Olaofe on the right, will be interesting to see how he plays given whenever he's played wide he seems to have been on the left

    Think he’s there purely because we don’t have any other right sided forwards available. What it does tell us through is that Grant will be playing off the left

    Doubley big for Mwamba as Colchester have previously wanted him on loan

    Is there a burglar alarm going off in the background?

    Maybe a prison breakout.

    Said it on the rumours thread, but he played 2 nice forward passes through the lines within 2 minutes. The kind of passes our current midfield (other than Costello) don’t try nearly enough

    He shouldn't have had that dodgy curry before game.

    Picks it up on the half turn and passes forward.

    Is that allowed?!
