SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made four changes to his starting line-up for tonight’s clash at Doncaster Rovers.

David Worrall and Michael Timlin have both been handed their first League One starts of the season with Anthony Wordsworth and Gary Deegan dropping down onto the bench.

Will Atkinson has also been preferred to Myles Weston while Kevan Hurst has replaced Joe Pigott as the Shrimpers switch to a 4-5-1 formation.

However, there is again no place in the squad for Noel Hunt who misses out with a foot problem.

Southend United: Bentley, White, Bolger, Barrett, Coker, Leonard, Atkinson, Timlin, Worrall, Mooney, Hurst

Substitutes: Wordsworth, Prosser, Payne, Weston, T Smith, Deegan & Pigott
