Hmm really tricky before Colchester game would never have started Fortune ahead of Tudguy but he had a great game
on the day completely justifying his selection I thought Phillips had his best game in ages too.
Turner and Cole not really fully fit so would not start them - Bigi also not had...
I think jury out with Bigi have to regard him as unproven now but then so was Armstrong........Bigi has now had years training with premiership players
and his heart is with Cov - I hope he'll do better than some including myself first think......very useful midfield cover anyhow!
Erm most of our loans expire in Jan a bit early to say get rid.......Bigi unproven now for me and loan expires in Jan, Armstrong goes in Jan in theory,
Joe Cole probably gone, Ryan Kent again could go! So too early to say - would keep Burge as back up goalie for sure....also would keep...
Cannot see him making start XI in our current 4-2-3-1 formation. Fleck & Vincelot definitely ahead of him in holdng roles
Better option in the 3 more attacking midfield roles - he would end up like Bryn Morris not getting enough game time!
I have still seen nothing to say that Armstrong is our only Kent??? Anyhow assuming that he is out my team
is below 4-2-3-1 formation.
RCC
Phillips RB
Ricketts CB
Martin CB
Stokes LB
Vincelot CM
Fleck CM
JOB ACM...
I know Kent is out but I have not seen anything official about Armstrong being missing yet.....
Are we sure he is definitely out.
Think we certainly have enough similar players to cover for Kent as I have said previously.
If Armstrong not about would quite like Tudguy to get a start for...
This is side I would pick for today.
Burge GK to give him a run out
Phillips RB
Ricketts CB
Martin CB
Haynes LB
Fleck CM
C.Thomas CM

JOB ACM
Murphy ACM
Tudgay CF
Subs: RCC, Stokes, Harries, Lameiras, Fortune, Sambou, D-Kelly Evans.
Hmm I did not see it that way but joined a nine ball world rules pool team - play in various dives
around South London & Kent - got told this was my mid-life crisis by friends though!!
Glad Kent not starting - would prefer JOB starting or Tudgay to Fortune but good to see Lameiras getting a start!
Joe Cole still injured would presume.
Cheers Folks will try to book up match tickets tomorrow - did not see them listed on the away tickets section of main website thought it was a bit odd! :facepalm:
Are tickets on sale for that Colchester game yet? Booked trains but there's a bloody replacement train bus service from Ingatestone to Colchester
on the day....which is nice. Not bothered at all about Kent we have cover......bit gutted about AA but have doen all right without him in past
and...
Morris recall makes sense for all parties we have players contracted who need to step up in case of injury/suspension to first choice pairing.
Middlesbrough were never going to be happy with him being a bit part role and although I may be in the minority I think Conor is more than
experienced...
I think the depth issue with the loans is good and it is not an issue......it is more the fact some of us feel
some should be offering depth from the bench given current performances and not starting automatically ahead
of some of our own contracted players...in my case Kent!!
Yep I would rather start Lameiras, Tudgay, Murphy or Fortune over Kent at the moment imo.
I think given the options would rather Lameiras got first look in.
Thought him Job & Maddison looked great when they played early season.......we have two to
keep selection relatively balance it is who...
Starting Kent every bloody game bothers me far more than giving Joe Cole a few games to get fit!! I know
Joe Cole can produce end quality.........i don't see it with Kent tbh......anyway said Swindon game was Kent's big
chance which he blew...again....will be very surprised if Kent not...
Callum was one of our "own" players as is Lameiras who arguably has contributed more than Kent in terms of end product and for both those reasons
people can argue with some justification he should start and Kent should be on the bench as Kent has already been given more of a crack with less
end...
Yes I mean Kent of course and if he starts would love him to shove my comments back at me! I am a fan of Tudgay though
his 1-2 with JOB at Millwall was class and he scored at Burton and played well.....I think his performances have merited more
game time perhaps but it is refreshing to have so...
