After a third pitch inspection the game is on.

Looks like if left side whatever that formation is!

[London Villan]

With those subs the starting 11 need to get it sewn up early.

[PeterWithesShin]

Good to see the Russian and RDL on the bench.

[SoccerHQ]

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.

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

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.

[AV5nobs]

Bruce out.

[somec]

I must admit I've never heard of O'Hare before.

Has he even been a sub before?

[Richard]

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

[eamonn]

Could anyone in a million years have predicted that line-up? Looks great! Hope Audrey comes on to destroy 'em.

Also, bearing in mind the number of fringe and youth players involved can we take it that Gardner/Elphick/Richards/Caramac are all either on the way out or injured?

HA HA

[Tuscans]

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

[Comrade Blitz]

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