TEAM CHANGES FOR COLCHESTER

It was suggested on another thread that the team selection for the Exeter match was partly with a view to keeping some of the players fresh for Monday. Do you think there will be many changes?

I would anticipate Papa Waigo being in and Antonio dropped to make way for him.

I expect Jaidi will be back and Thomas and, like JMB said, Antonio to be dropped for Papa. I like Antonio and, while he's been a tad crap in recent games, I think he has a lot to offer bearing in mind he's only a kid.

As I said in previous thread sure Jaidi will start and think Thomas at RB with James in midfield would be good idea. Think he will start 4 5 1 with Waigo starting and Connolly on the bench. Could be undone though if Lallana not considered fit.

I'm not convinced about Antonio though accept as a youngster he has scope to improve but dont think he has done well in recent games when he has started. Is he better than Holmes who never gets a look in?

Missed the start of commentary so exactly how we are lining up, but it looks interesting. Very strong bench as well

Containing Colchester well so far.

Antonio makes another boo boo

Colchester edging it clearly at the moment.

1-0 to Colchester

Now we have to lift ourselves.

free header from corner but fortunately misses

Utd nearly make it 2

Trotman and Antonio go into the book

At least we have Papa and Connolly on the bench because Saints have been very poor. Colchester have a great home record but Saints haven't been good enough.

Connolly on Morgan off.

Don't have a clue why he is keeping Antonio on.

Saints starting 2nd half at very high tempo.

Saints much the better team this half. Papa on for Anotnio

Jaidi has had a couple of headers which have gone close

Papa equalises.... NOOOO. offside against Lallana who passed to Papa (so it wasn't Papa who was offside)

Lallana tripped. Freekick to Saints 20 yards out central

Lambert's free kick saved well. Saints nearly get rebound

crap. Gillespie makes it 2-0 to Colchester on the counter

Williams makes third superb save in the last 10 minutes from lambert.

Trotman off and Gobern on.

Colchester should have made it 3

Saints pilling on the pressure once more
