Staying positive - Southend United manager Chris Powell
SOUTHEND United manager Chris Powell says his side must ‘go for it’ against Barnsley in the second round of the FA Cup tomorrow.
Blues host the Tykes at Roots Hall looking to join the Premier League sides in Monday night’s third round draw.
And Powell will be adopting a positive approach to the game.
He said: “We’ve got a tough draw but lets get out there and go for it because what’s the worst that could happen?
“We have to dig deep and really put it to them.
“We could go through and get a real humdinger but if you’re beaten by a team who then get a plum draw it really hurts.
“I don’t want that to happen and it would be great to get through.”
The winner of the tie at Roots Hall will receive £54,000 in prize money.
