i think we've seen the back 3 and wing backs that's will start and maybe the 3 cms today. tanto has played alot in pre season so I still think he might start against Watford.. strange he didnt get any minutes today.. but maybe rested..
I liked the look of apter and Carey.. kelmans link play and running wete good. Gas did well, I wonder if he may force himself into the reckoning. or if that will ignite a deal
Fullah is taking the piss with that turn and effort
So obviously doesn’t need a years loan sloshing around in L1 or L2.
Scouts must look at him and think he’s not big physically, but he doesn’t need to be, so comfortable on the ball and a great football brain - not always obvious though because he’ll be patient, keep possession and wait for the right time, rather than constantly looking for the Hollywood pass or shot like say a young Shelvey.
Good for Ahadme. To be fair, he did look a different sort of player in the cup games against lower level opposition last season. He's not a useless footballer he was just out of his depth in our side, especially when he was being expected to contribute more than just getting on the end of chances. I think he'll do well to revive his career in L1 with Bolton but there's a life for him in L2 if that doesn't work out
First time to really watch Carey and I thought he was excellent, was a huge threat in the second half and really cut through the middle. Bell impressed yet again, I think we’ve found ourselves a real gem there. Apter looks good too, and Fullah.. there’s so much potential there!
Thought we were shakey defensively, Southend got balls into the box a lot in the first half.
We stepped up 2nd half, much faster and on the front foot but still vulnerable at the back.
Campbell was good and worked hard, Apter and Carey linked up well, Docherty was solid, the big new striker, didn't catch his name, was a handful and scored twice. Worth a contract.
The kids were good. The u21s will be worth watching again and some will get games and sub appearances.
Hope L Jones is fit, slight concern that we have so many potential 1st teamers not fully fit but that's why you have a squad.
As much as Ahadme is the butt of a good deal of jokes on here, I don't think that, fit or not, he would have fitted into the side after December, we just didn't play the way that suited him. Will we play that way this season ? We now have players who can deliver crosses, certainly that's in Apter's locker and perhaps in Carey's too. It still seems a stretch for Gassan to get past the players in front of him and a loan seems likely, as his wage would unlikely to be matched by a buying club, but if he's still here and gets on the bench, you never know, football has a habit of throwing up surprises.
How all the players congratulate him shows just how much he’s a part of the squad, they all feel his frustrations. I hope today will get him a good loan spell.. and who knows, maybe he’ll develop into a decent striker in the end
Now not a great fan of Gas, and fully expect him gone, either permanent or loan by the end of the window, but you still have to be in the right place at the right time to score, and National league or not that's a fact, so well done Gas, and good luck wherever you end up...👍

Hah!
Sorry that"s my vile side coming out.
He struggles to string a run of games together before he is injured.
Which is frustrating for everyone.
So for me Ahadme should be in the squad, over Miles.
