Titus Bramble is again in the Town squad for today’s friendly against Blue Square Bet Premier Barnet at their new Hive Stadium. There is no place in the travelling party for another of the recent trialists, Tottenham’s Bongani Khumalo, while keeper Dean Gerken misses out with a minor groin injury and winger Paul Anderson is also absent due to a minor hamstring injury.

Academy keeper Michael Crowe comes into the first team squad for the first time during pre-season and left-back Aaron Cresswell is back after a thigh problem. Barnet manager Edgar Davids starts for the home side.

Town: Loach, Hewitt, Chambers, Smith, Cresswell, Hammond, Skuse, Wordsworth, Tabb, Murphy, McGoldrick. Subs: Crowe, Veseli, Bramble, Mings, October, Lawrence, Hyam, Berkane, Carson, Chopra. Nouble.

tractorboy81 added 14:24 - Jul 20 Pretty much a full strength line up, with the exception of maybe hyam as a sub and Hammond on the wing! Good to see Hewitt getting a start, come on you blues!!!

Len_Brennan added 14:26 - Jul 20 Jish Carson has gotten a fair amount of game & match day squad time over the pre-season. There is certainly a player in there capable of performing at Championship level, maybe he has learned from his mistakes & can make an impact for us this season.

Mark added 14:35 - Jul 20 Could Khumalo's exclusion mean we aren't taking him as Berra is about to sign?

Lightningboy added 14:44 - Jul 20 Doesn't seem to have been much said about Hammond??...can we have some more info on him please.

Robbie12345 added 14:54 - Jul 20 Think no Anderson because he is either injured, or Mick knows he will be first choise and wants to have a better look at some other players. He will be starting next game.

riley26 added 15:00 - Jul 20 Would seem with Veseli and potentially Berra both becoming permanent signings, Bramble and Khumalo aren't crucial to our plans. Certainly wouldn't expect both of them to come in, perhaps one or the other.
