v 
SHRIMPERS
Poor old Antonio, stuck in traffic and dropped to the bench with a threat of the same happening at the weekend.
I hope the QPR youngster plays, it's time for a new striking partnership to shake up Barry Corr and the son of Luggy.
The other loanee Jack Midson from Oxford United can come on from the bench if needed but certainly below is my prefered starting eleven, with Ryan Hall given another chance to show he can do the business over 90 minutes and not just 20, it's up to him if he gets the nod.
Once again midfielder and the real class act in the side, one Anthony Grant, is still one yellow for a suspension, but as the opposition seem intent on kicking lumps out of him it seems to have not only affected his goalscoring ability, last scored October 9th away to Chesterfield, he seems to have lost the abilty to wind the ref up the wrong way.
Go on Granty, get the one match ban and miss the cup replay against Macclesfield next Tuesday, and the winning strike against the Stanley.
Centre-back Graham Coughlan is having a late fitness test but should be OK, if not Luke Prosser will step in.
Might not be a great crowd with gale force winds forecast, Stanley don't get huge crowds at home let alone a game of this distance to their travelling faithful, so I can see only a goal in it, and I believe it will go to the Shrimpers, and, see above, possibily a Snoop Dog shot from outside the area!
Possible Southend United: Morris, Clohessy, Coughlan, Mohsni, Gilbert, Simpson, Grant, Easton, Hall, German, Corr.
Subs: Evans, Herd, Prosser, Soares, Zaaboub, Midson, Sturrock.
COME ON YOU BLUES!!!!!
OPPOSITION
Suspended pair defender Phil Edwards and midfielder Chris Turner will not start, with Jonny Bateson likely to replace Edwards.
Other than that Stanley boss John Coleman has no new injury worries.

HISTORY
Accrington had been without a football team following the collapse of the original Accrington Stanley in 1966.
The original team had been formed in 1891, and played in The Football League from 1921 to 1961; it had spent its final four seasons in the Lancashire Combination.
In a meeting in the town library in October 1968 the revival was started and in August 1970 the new club played at a new ground, the Crown Ground.
Since their formation, Stanley have climbed the non-League pyramid to reach The Football League. Eric Whalley, a local businessman, took control of the club in 1995 and started the development of the club's ground.
After the club was relegated in 1999, Whalley appointed John Coleman as manager.
In 2005-06, Stanley won the Football Conference and were promoted to League Two, switching places with relegated Oxford United - in a reversal of fortune, the team that had been elected to replace the former Accrington Stanley as members of the Football League in 1962.
