SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made one enforced change to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s clash against Rochdale with Jermaine McGlashan replacing the unavailable Nile Ranger.

Ranger misses out after being suspended by the club following a serious breach of discipline meaning Simon Cox will partner Marc-Antoine Fortune in attack.

Fit-again left-back Ben Coker has been selected among the substitutes.

Southend United: Smith, Demetriou, Thompson, Ferdinand, Timlin, Atkinson, Leonard, Wordsworth, McGlashan, Cox, Fortune

Substitutes: Bexon, White, Matsuzaka, Coker, O’Neill, Bridge & Hines
