Really like the lineup but I'm starting to think Richie is bipolar, some of these players couldn't get in the starting eleven let alone the squad some weeks

Hello from Bergen.

I guess Perkins deserves a chance after his performance on Sunday. Good to see Graham back in the squad.

Think he’s finally realise that he needs to try new things. Dropping Kelman is a big move imo and one that was necessary a) to give the player a physical and mental rest and b) to give ageyi more freedom and to play up front. Unfortunately our options are so limited that our best right sided player appears to be Perkins. Saying that, he had a good game last week and deserves a shot but if he fails to take it, it might be his last

Boarders been talking about Kelman being an impact sub. Interesting to see if that'll work out for him. I want him scoring goals, as with everybody else. Come on O's!!!

Also an enforced change in CM with Warrington getting his chance based on there being no other options, Brown presumably injured / suspended?

[essexfootball]

Bonne and Moncur both on the bench for Southend

Good work by Ayegi and well read Perkins
