BLUES boss Phil Brown has made six changes to his starting line-up for tonight’s EFL Trophy clash with Leyton Orient at Roots Hall.
John White and Adam Thompson have been recalled in the back three in place of Adam Barrett and Anton Ferdinand while Luke O’Neill has replaced Jason Demetriou – who is away on international duty – down the right flank.
In midfield, Adam King has come in for Stephen McLaughlin as Blues switch to a 3-5-2 formation.
As a result, Marc-Antoine Fortune and Simon Cox will both start in attack with David Mooney and Jermaine McGlashan dropping out.
Southend United: Oxley, White, Inniss, Thompson, O’Neill, Leonard, King, Wordsworth, Coker, Fortune, Cox
Substitutes: Smith, Mooney, McLaughlin, Atkinson, Sokolik, Bridge & Kyprianou
