Adomah and Onomah should just pass the ball back and forth to each other to drive the commentators crazy.

Class.

The pitch is meant to be sodden on the flanks according to Matterface.

Bet it's not this bad!

Is that going to be 3-5-2?!

Interesting stuff. O'Hare starting is an interesting call and a very young bench if the first 11 isn't producing.

Good to see De Laet back.

Have to admit that was my first thought, unless Bjarnason is playing LB.  If the latter option is true then I guess it might mean Amavi is off and we will need some cover there.

No Richards so that's good and nice to see a few returners from injury - just Jedi Grealish and Kodjia still out I think.

I hope Richards can find another club, one of our worst ever signings.

Got a different take on this game now after that lineup. If he played the 11 he played Sat he was set up to be criticised no matter what the result, but with the kids in I'm not only sympathetic but also optimistic

Good luck finding a team stupid enough to pay 50k for the fat oaf

Disappointing for Colchester fans not to see our proper first team. They must be gutted at forking out money and missing out on seeing Gabby, Bacuna, Hutton etc in the flesh.

They wouldn't be able to handle seeing Gabby and Richards in the flesh.

I like this line up. Interesting.

Like the look of that, nice shape and youngsters thrown in, almost like a top club.

Would someone mind taking me through that shape, please? If it's a flat, back four, who's LB? And if it is a three at the back, who are the wing backs?

I think Bjarnason is left back.

Shame for him that he's only played a handful of games and seems to be in a different position each time. It must be hard to settle.

How dare SB try something more left field, modern and youthful.

Dinasour has hit his head.
