Strong Reserves Side Faces Southend
Wednesday, 20th Jan 2010 11:30

Town are set to field a strong reserves side in this afternoon’s game against Southend United at Playford Road (KO 2pm). Lee Martin, Alex Bruce, Tamás Priskin and Alan Quinn are all likely to face the Shrimpers.

Ben Thatcher is expected to play his first game since the pre-season friendly at Bury Town, having continued to have problems with the knee ligament injury he suffered in the 3-2 derby victory over Norwich City last season.

Ed Upson and Shane O'Connor are back from a virus and a knee ligament injury respectively.

Former Town academy schoolboy Stuart O'Keefe and on-loan Sunderland defender Jean-Yves M'voto, who was signed by Roy Keane during his time at the Stadium of Light, have been included in the Southend squad.

Bergholtblue added 13:15 - Jan 20 It is a strong team. Embarrasing if we should lose. If Priskin can't score against this lot who will he score against?

bleedblue added 14:57 - Jan 20 Yes elburro3, he is a quality striker who jst hasn't been given enough of a chance yet in the first team, hopefully he will do well and be involved at southampton.

bluemonday added 15:14 - Jan 20 time is running out for Priskin I think. He needs to prove himself not only in the reserves but in the first team. It's down to the player at the end of the day.
