GUS Scott-Morriss returned to action for Southend United tonight despite not having trained.
Scott-Morriss missed Blues’ last two matches with a knee injury.
But boss Kevin Maher opted to hand the wing-back a recall for this evening’s clash with Altrincham which the Shrimpers won 2-1 at Roots Hall.
“Gus was brilliant because he’s literally done no training since he came off against Oxford,” said Maher.
“It was a late decision to put him in but maybe the break has done him good.
“We changed to a back four at the end to save his legs a little bit.
“But his know how gets him through the game and his calmness was brilliant.
“All credit to him for getting through the 90 minutes.”
