SOUTHEND United will be sending a young side to face Ryman Premier League side Brentwood Town tonight.

Shrimpers boss Phil Brown will be using the friendly to take another look at the club’s under 21 team, along with two trialists.

And the game will also see him coming up against new Brentwood boss Holdsworth who Brown worked with while at Bolton Wanderers.

“I know Dean well and we will be sending the under 21 team over to have another look at them,” said Brown.

“Danny Galbraith will also be playing again on trial and so too will a Portugese centre-back called Yago Fernandez who has been training with us.

“It will be a young side though as the first team are playing at Canvey Island tomorrow.”
