SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made one enforced change to his starting line-up for tonight’s clash against Newport County at Roots Hall with Joe Pigott replacing Barry Corr in attack.

Corr had been doubtful for the game after returning home to Ireland due to a family problem and has been selected on the bench, meaning Pigott has been recalled up front against the team he spent time on loan with earlier on this season.

However, the rest of the Shrimpers side remains unchanged with the fit-again Ryan Leonard also on the bench as Gary Deegan continues in midfield.

Southend United: Bentley, White, Bolger, Barrett, Coker, Atkinson, Deegan, Timlin, McLaughlin, Cassidy, Pigott

Subs: T Smith, Worrall, Hurst, Payne, Binnom-Williams, Corr & Leonard
