SOUTHEND United winger David Worrall wants his former Bury side to be left feeling pig sick at Roots Hall tomorrow.

Worrall was forced to miss Tuesday night’s 1-0 defeat at Newport County with a virus.

But he now feels ready to return and is desperate to help Blues get back on track after suffering four games without a win.

“I’m feeling again now so hopefully I can get a good training session under my belt today and be OK for tomorrow,” said Worrall, who scored on his first league start for Blues against Exeter City last weekend.

“I’m not sure whether or not I would’ve played at Newport anyway because the gaffer made a few changes to for us to try and win the game.

“I’m sure he will do the same against Bury and of course I would love to play against my old team.”

Worrall came through the youth ranks at the Shakers before then returning as a professional player and spending a successful four year spell at Gigg Lane.

The winger recalls his time at Bury with great fondness but is desperate to get the better of them this weekend.

“I have a lot of good memories from being at Bury,” said Worrall.

“I still know a lot of people there and I’m hoping I can walk off at the end with a win because a few of them will be mentioning it to me if we don’t.

“This is the first game I really looked for when I joined and we need to get the win.”

The Shrimpers have not triumphed since beating Shrewsbury at the end of September.

But 24-year-old Worrall is refusing to panic.

“All it takes it two or three wins and we’ll back to third in the table with everyone buzzing again,” said the winger.

“When I went up with Bury from this league we went 10 games without a win but I can’t see that happening here and I still think we have a really good chance this year.”

Worrall is also keen to play a part in helping the Shrimpers secure a top seven finish this season.

And he has also been pleased by his start to the campaign, despite having made just one league start.

“It’s not been frustrating for me,” said Worrall.

“Normally I’ve been a bit injury prone around this time so it might actually have done me some good.

“Hopefully this can be the first season I’ve had without getting injured.”

That would also justify Worrall’s decision to move to the south of the country for the first time in his career where he now feels settled.

“It’s different from the north and I’m obviously not near my family and friends now,” said Worrall.

“I had to leave my dog in Manchester too but I did bring my goldfish down so they’re alright!

“I have the right people around me though and that’s certainly helped me so I’m enjoying it here.”
