SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made five changes to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s clash with Millwall.
Goalkeeper Mark Oxley has replaced Ted Smith between the sticks while Ben Coker has been preferred to Harry Kyprianou on the left hand side of defence.
Blues have also switched to a 4-4-2 formation with Jermaine McGlashan and Jason Demetriou both earning recalls in midfield with Adam King and Jakub Sokolik dropping out of the team.
Further forward, Stephen McLaughlin has come in for Simon Cox and is expected to feature in an unfamiliar striking role alongside David Mooney.
On loan centre-back Ryan Inniss has also been selected among the substitutes after being released from prison.
Southend United: Oxley, White, Thompson, Barrett, Coker, Demetriou, Atkinson, Leonard, McGlashan, McLaughlin, Mooney
Substitutes: Smith, O’Neill, Cox, King, Bridge, Kyprianou & Inniss
