SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made just one change to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s clash against Scunthorpe United at Roots Hall, with Ben Coker returning to the team.

Coker replaced the injured Adam Barrett in the back four in a move which sees Luke Prosser move to the middle of the defence alongside Cian Bolger.

But the rest of the side remains unchanged with John White missing out with a thigh strain.

Striker Noel Hunt had also been doubtful with a thigh problem but the experienced Irishman has been selected on the bench.

Southend United: Bentley, O'Neill, Bolger, Prosser, Coker, Leonard, Deegan, Timlin, Worrall, Mooney, Pigott

Subs: T Smith, Wordsworth, Payne, Weston, Atkinson, Hunt & Rea
