Shrimpers Reserves to make Brisbane Road trip

Last updated : 09 April 2002 By Mark Wallis
Tesfaye Bramble could feature at Brisbane Road.
Southend's injury plagued strikefore could be making a return to action in East London tomorrow as Tesfaye Bramble, Tony Richards and Mark Rawle are all expected to play some part in proceedings. The trio have all been suffering from groin injuries.

Another player expected to return to action is midfielder Ben Smith who has missed much of the season with knee problems.

New signings Adam Wallace, who came on as a second half substitute at Plymouth on Saturday, and Rio Alderton should also adopt a starting role.

As United search for their highest possible Combination finish, with both Cardiff City and Cheltenham Town battling it out alongside Blues for a top ten placing. A repeat of last season's 5-1 thrashing of Orient at Boots & Laces will most certainly be welcome! Orient, having finished bottom of the pack last season, are having a much better campaign tghis time around and are currently sitting in seventh position.

United twice came back from a goal behind to see off Swindon Town at Roots Hall last week during an enthralling second half, Anthony Clark grabbing a late winner.

Don't forget that prior to our last match of the season against Gillingham at Roots Hall next Wednesday, Blues are on the road again, this time at Woodside Road, Worthing on Monday afternoon to take on Brighton & Hove Albion.
