SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made one enforced change to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s game at Dagenham & Redbridge with Daniel Bentley returning in goal.

Bentley had missed the last three games with a groin problem but played 90 minutes in a behind closed friendly in the week and is now fit enough to replace Ted Smith between the sticks.

However, the rest of the side remains unchanged with the fit again Will Atkinson selected among the substitutes.

Southend United: Bentley, White, Thompson, Prosser, Coker, Worrall, Leonard, Timlin, Hurst, Corr, Pigott

Substitutes: T Smith, Weston, Atkinson, Payne, Deegan, Binnom-Williams & Cassidy
