Town manager Jim Magilton has already signed seven players since the end of last season to create a new-look side.

Magilton had 31 registered first team last year and Joe Royle 30 when he was manager, but this year's is still a sizeable group, which Magilton will trim by allowing three or four to go out on loan.
He said: “I'm happy with squad but if the possibility arises then yes I would like to strengthen. Defensively perhaps and I think we need an outlet on either flank.

Blues internationals Veliche Shumuliksoki, Alex Bruce and Owen Garvan are still with their countries and Magilton, who plans to watch the reserves at Colchester this afternoon, will be back training with the first team squad on Thursday.
