Bartosz Bialkowski starts his first game for the Blues as Town take on Southend at Roots Hall in their penultimate pre-season friendly (KO 7.45pm). Striker David McGoldrick is on the bench and is set to make his return from his knee problems in the second half.
Town fell to a controversial 2-0 defeat at home to Southend. Mark Gower put his side ahead with the Blues appealing for an offside and still protesting the lack of an earlier penalty award, then Peter Clarke added another from a set piece. Late on Lee was sent off for handling the ball into the net.
