Four central midfielders, and a striker that can't score.

I don't have high hopes for this.

Burge back in, Willis to right back and Hyam Central

Vincenti in for JMD

Both JMD and Dion KElly Evans vanish from the squad completely.

I was hoping to see an attacking formation, maybe I was expecting too much.

What are the odds of being 1-0 down and waiting until 70 minutes to make any changes after hoofing it all game? Not that inspired by that lineup but hope to be proven wrong.

JMD was shocking on Saturday and DiKE too, though seemingly not recovered from injury.

We now are threadbare on the defensive front and the bench only has the one defender in Haynes.

Fingers crossed there are no more injuries in the back line.

JMD dropped or injured?

Assuming dropped. Permanently hopefully.

No pace or attacking guile apart from McNulty in that team.

Seems very defensive on paper

Just had a bet on Colchester winning, more than 1.5 goals as well.

5/1 on Stevenson anytime too.

Feel annoyed by that lineup (Do hope it comes back to make me look a fool and we spank them)

To be quite honest, we have lacked pace ever since Jodi Jones got injured.

It will still be defensive at 1-0 down as well.

No pace in the team and how much for Max to go down holding his face at some point.

And if so, that is why people are getting annoyed with the manager. All the fans can see it needs shaking up and changing away from home, so why not Robins?

If ever you were going to pick Reid, surely tonight was the night.

I thought Reid would definitely start tonight, disappointed Robins hasn't put him in

Far too attacking. We need 8 players in defence then 2 up front.

I think Colchester was expecting Reid to start and have been preparing as such, if by any chance we are still in the game after 60 min he will bring him on

We may well might. Do worry if we go a goal down however.

Got a sneaky feeling this one could end up 0-0.

Probably be 3-3 after 12 minutes now though in saying that, just you watch and see.

I don't think Reid is match fit. Didn't expect him to start.

It may well work tonight, but that doesn't mean it couldn't have worked better with a different lineup.

We need a good creative display from young Bayliss tonight.

Shame we haven't got Doyle in so he could mark Ben Stevenson.

I'd put a bet on us giving Stevenson way too much time on the ball as well if I could and standing off him when it's pretty obvious if you snap him you get in his head and take him out of the game.

Good that he’s dropped the jokers from Saturday but what’s the point in signing JCH when you’re not going to play him. Especially when McNulty has shat a stone being ill.

when people are disappointed because Kyle Reid's not in the starting line up you know your season is going to shit.

Yep, but if there was one league game you were going to play him in then it would be this one surely.

Anybody, they are paid athletes so shouldn't be pussys from standing on his ankles, his feet and just outright bullying him.

Seen it so often from kick off when players are kicking Doyle to try and make him lose his head and take him out of the game.

Colchester fans probably saying something similar about KR. Perhaps a good reason not to start him

I laughed out loud, but the truth in that is extremely alarming!

Picked a team not to lose simple as, soak it up and hope we sneak a McNulty Special - not beyond the realms of possibility.

That's the problem, he often picks a team not to lose and hopes we snatch one. If we don't there's no other plan.

If we want promotion, we should be aiming to win. Everybody else does.

It’s a safe selection but agree lacking ambition. Possibly looking for a steady first half with options for changes last 25/30. Colchester are hardly prolific scorers so a goalless draw or goal either way will probably settle this.

I'd rather play a 100% Ponticelli than a 80% McNulty. If you're not 100% you shouldn't be out there.
