Nice strong team playing 442. Really excited by what Brown has been able to put together this season. Fingers crossed...

A 1st, FIRST!!!!!!
Correct team guess!!!!!
Just hope the predict win is good too.
King on bench is surprise.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

As expected really, bring it on! UTB

 

[SUFCStu]

Come on you Shrimpers.

Looks like a good strong team that. Nice to see us playing 442. I see that King is on the bench, didn't think his international clearance would go through in time, but seems it has.

Emmanuel-Thomas starting for Gillingham worries me a bit.

Think he will still leave this window, just nobody has come in with the offer they're looking for yet.

For anyone who thinks opposition fans get away with everything saw one Gill being arrested for trying to get a flare in. First game of the season and arrested. What a numpty.
