BLUES boss Paul Sturrock has made one change to his starting line-up for this evening’s encounter at Bradford City, with Ryan Hall replacing Sofiene Zaaboub on the left flank.

Zaaboub has been ruled out with a foot problem but the rest of the team remains unchanged with Chris Barker again partnering Bilel Mohsni at the heart of the defence with Peter Gilbert at left-back.

Sturrock also made a late alteration to his substitutes bench as Scott Spencer picked up an injury during the warm up.

His place was taken by Luke Prosser.

Southend United: Morris, Clohessy, , Mohsni, Barker, Gilbert, Simpson, Easton, Grant, Hall, Sturrock, Corr

Subs: Evans, Coughlan, Paterson, Bouzid, Soares, Herd & Prosser.
