A surprise to see him on the subs bench Saturday, should start Tuesday
At least Southend should be able to put out a more experienced line-up against the Farmers with Joyce, Sankofa, O'Keefe, Scannell, Freedman and Walker all expected to get a game.
However, the Shrimpers will take a look at two trailists for the game.
Lee Wilson is a defender from Barton Rovers while striker Scott Spencer plays for Rochdale having been on loan with Yeovil and Maccesfield. They are both on non contract terms with their present clubs.
20 year-old Spencer was bought by Everton from Oldham for half a million in July 2007 before joiniing the Dale in the summer where he has made only four substitute appearances.
