As the match thread from Saturday has now ambled towards this game we might as well have a pre-match thread for it.
Gillingham twice in close succession two seasons running at the start of the season, it's just not fair somehow. Is this the match to blood youngsters, or will PB field the same side with a view to taking the points? Or will it be a side somewhere in between?
Riders and horses here please together with predictions and any other wondrous views we may not yet have had. This competition is not everyone's favourite, and coming so soon after Saturday I'm not expecting 4 figures to travel, lucky if we take 300 I think. Truthfully I have no idea what's in Phil's mind so I'm not going to predict a starting 11, but I will go for a 2-1 Southend win though because I'm an optimist.
