SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made one change to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s clash at Fleetwood Town.

New signing Josh Wright has replaced Dru Yearwood in midfield but the rest of the side remains unchanged.

As a result, Harry Kyprianou continues at centre-back alongside Anton Ferdinand with the fit-again John selected among the substitutes.

Teenager Nathan Bishop is also Blues’ back up goalkeeper on the bench with Ted Smith missing out with a slight injury.

Southend United: Oxley, Demetriou, Ferdinand, Kyprianou, Timlin, Wright, Leonard, Wordsworth, McLaughlin, Cox, Ranger

Subs: Bishop, Hendrie, Fortune, Yearwood, McGlashan, Robinson & White
