Adam Webster makes his first start in a Town shirt in this afternoon’s friendly at Cambridge, while David McGoldrick is on the bench having recovered from his hip injury.

Manager Mick McCarthy has named a team largely made up of the players who came on for the final half hour or so at Colchester on Wednesday.

Keeper Dean Gerken, who would have been on the bench having played the full 90 minutes at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, misses out with a hamstring problem and Michael Crowe takes his place.

Adam McDonnell misses out with a knee problem suffered in training.

Second-year scholar Flynn Downes and first-year Tristan Nydam, both midfielders, are also included as cover with the U21s having been in action at Coggeshall last night.

Town: Bialkowski, Emmanuel, Knudsen, Hyam, Webster, Berra (c), Bishop, Skuse, Murphy, McLoughlin, Blanchfield. Subs: Crowe, Chambers, Digby, T Smith, Kenlock, Dozzell, Bru, Douglas, Sears, Pitman, McGoldrick, Stewart, Malarczyk, Nydam, Downes.

AliceTheobald95 added 14:52 - Jul 23 Chris Smith is a first year scholar, think he is a decent player. Just not sure if that's meant to be Tommy Smith as Chris played 90mins last night. If it is correct could we read into it that Tommy Smith will be sold?

cats_whiskers added 15:05 - Jul 23 SHAUN DERRY (Cambridge manager) was a tough player and I would expect his team will be a tougher proposition than Colchester Utd was. I wouldn't be surprised to see them come out as the winners we are virtually incapable of scoring more than one goal per game. Just don't see McGoldrick scoring unless we are awarded a penalty and he's only likely to get the final 20 minutes

LimitlessBlue added 15:18 - Jul 23 On the bench! - old sicknote is a million miles away from being at the top of his game. I expect another injury hit season for him.
