REFEREE
Ross Joyce (Cleveland) Joyce has shown 43 yellow cards and one red in the seven games he has taken charge of so far this season.
Joyce last refereed the Shrimpers in their 4-0 win at Chesterfield in a game which saw Spireites midfielder Dion Donohue sent off on the stroke of half-time.
Joyce also sent off Jason Demetriou in a 4-0 defeat at Northampton Town last September, but the decision was later overturned on appeal.
