Team News |
|
| Wrexham | Southend |
| Injuries: Waynne Phillips, Mark Jones, Paul Barrett. | Injuries: Phil Whelan (cartilage), Stephen Broad (hernia), Graeme Jones (calf) and David McSweeney (Garden Wall!). |
| Suspensions: None. | Suspensions: Tesfaye Bramble |
| Squad (17): Dibble, Roberts, Carey, Lawrence, C. Edwards, P. Edwards, Whitley, Ferguson, Green, Morrell, Trundle, Sam, L Jones, Holmes, Thomas, Pejic, Rogers. | Squad (19): Flahavan, Sutch, Cort, Kelly, Searle, Marney, Maher, Smith, Clark, Foley, Rawle, Gay, Beard, Jenkins, Jordan, Thurgood, Tilson, Belgrave, Salter. |
| Other News: If today's signing Scott Green is to start then he is likely to replace Steve Thomas in midfield to join Darren Ferguson and Jim Whitley. Apart from this possibility Denis Smith is unlikely to make further changes with Andy Dibble in goal with a back three of Brian Carey, Steve Roberts and Dennis Lawrence. The wing backs of Carlos and Paul Edwards will remain unchanged and Andy Morrell is expected to shrug off a dead leg to partner Lee Trundle up front. | Other News: On loan Wolves striker Dominic Foley will start up front as a replacement for the suspended Tesfaye Bramble. Foley will partner either Mark Rawle or Barrington Belgrave and this is expected to be the only change to the starting line up. Between the sticks will be Darryl Flahaven and in front of him will be a back four of Damon Searle, Stephen Kelly, Leon Court and Daryl Such. Kevin Mather will skipper the side from midfield and he will be joined by Danny Marney, Jay Smith and Steve Clark. |
