Phillips: 'I was a little bit rusty against Wycombe Wanderers'
It was great to see centre-back Mark Phillips back in a Shrimpers starting line-up for the first time in five months in the 3-2 win over Wycombe Wanderers at Roots Hall Tuesday evening .
The former Brentford skipper had at last recovered from various hernia and hamstring injuries to take the place of Bilel Mohsni who is out for up to a further five weeks.
However, news from Roots Hall is that Matt could well have picked up more problems in the Chairboys match and may be a doubt for the weekend and the tough trip to Devon and fellow play-off contenders Torquay.
Anyway, as of yesterday, Matty seemed to be fairly confident of his availabilty for the League Two clash.
Phillips told www.echo-news.co.uk: "My fitness is fine and hopefully things are on the up for me so I can play again this weekend. I was a little bit rusty which is what you would expect after such a long time out and I do still need to work on my sharpness but that will come with games. My injuries are fine and I'm happy to be back. Hopefully now I can help the team get more good results as well because we've been on a good run lately."
We hope so mate.
