BLUES boss Phil Brown has made just one change to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s encounter with Bristol Rovers at Roots Hall with Adam Thompson replacing the suspended Ben Coker.

Thompson will figure at right back with John White moving on to the left hand side of the defence.

However, the rest of the rest remains unchanged with Barry Corr continuing alongside Freddy Eastwood in attack with Cauley Woodrow again selected among the substitutes.

Southend United: Bentley, Thompson, Phillips, Prosser, White, Hurst, Leonard, Atkinson, Straker, Eastwood, Corr

Substitutes: Smith, Timlin, Reid, Clifford, Payne, Banton & Woodrow
