Hello from Bergen.
Team vs. Colchester; Brill, Widdowson, Ling, Coulson, Ekpiteta, Wright, Marsh, Brophy, JMD, Wilkinson, Dennis.
Looks like 4-5-1 to me.

Trying something different again today but I guess RE has to without the trickery of Angol to rely on. Both Gorman and Clay on the bench is a bold, if interesting move. A lot of responsibility on Marsh to... marshal (sorry very punny I know) the CM area.

I haven`t been impressed by JMD this season, but maybe if he is given a more free role in midfield he might be more effective.

Watching Essex in the T20 semi final and will have the commentary on when that starts.
It’s a lovely hot sunny day in deepest darkest Suffolk.
COYOS and I’ll be happy with 2-2 draw

Could be 4-4-1-1 with JMD in the 10. Could be a 4-2-3-1 (basically the 4-4-1-1 but with the winger pushed up).

Unmarked runner from deep. Who would have thought it? One nil down.

Crap. Not too keen on this midfield line up. Think we are tinkering with line up too much. I understand Wilkinson starting with Angol out. Wright appears undropable.

A formation for every week. We had to change from the 5-3-2 but don't seem to be able to stick with one alternative.
Losing Angol is a hammer blow because of how weak our bench is for strikers. CM without 3 in there doesn't look strong either.
