Southend United vs Accrington Stanley preview - Shrimpers wait on duo
Posted Friday, February 13, 2015 by PA
Southend will run the rule over both Ben Coker and Adam Thompson ahead of Accrington's visit.
The Shrimpers, unbeaten in 10 Sky Bet League Two games, are assessing Coker's hip problem and Thompson's thigh strain before determining if they can retain their places in the starting line-up.
Boss Phil Brown did have more positive news to report on a now fully-fit Kevan Hurst after he was only used as a substitute in midweek following a knock.
Mads Ibenfeldt (foot) is a long-term absentee for Brown's in-form side.
Accrington will make the trip with a fully-fit squad at their disposal.
Stanley snapped a run of five straight defeats by beating Oxford 1-0 at the Store First Stadium, and boss John Coleman could be tempted to name the same starting XI.
Coleman's new signings Scott Davies, Gerardo Bruna and Terry Gornell, who scored the last-gasp winner in midweek, all started and look set to retain their places.
Joint-top scorer James Gray will also be in the mix after rejecting the chance to join Southport on loan on Thursday, hours after the two clubs had announced the switch.
