Roots Hall welcomes Colchester United reserves in the Essex second team derby Tuesday afternoon.

Tough to see the side Graham Coughlan will actually take to the field, he may give himself a rest, but I'm guessing Peter Gilbert should get a game after missing out last Saturday in the defeat against Crewe, joining centre-back Matt Phillips.

I've put in Luke Prosser as he had such a poor game at the weekend and I'm doubtful he will play against Bury, then again you could make a case for the most of the team outside Anthony Grant!

Of course it would be great to see Barry Corr, or even Blair Sturrock, get some match time but we've heard no word that they've even returned to any light training.

Awaiting news on any possible trailists, yet after last week when there were none we did see a welcome return to playing in a Blues shirt for Scott Spencer who Luggy hasn't been able to ship off to a club on loan al la Matty, go Screech!

The game has a kick-off time of 14.00.

Possible Southend United:
Evans, Ferdinand, Prosser, Phillips, Gilbert, Woodyard, Bouzid, Jarvis, Spencer, Crawford, Zaaboub.

Subs: Chambers, Ofori-Acheampong, Smith, Abdellah, Furlonge, Woodyard, Okai.
