Southend United will face Yeovil Town on Tuesday night after securing a spot at Wembley in the FA Trophy.
Yeovil Town will travel to Essex for their third away game in a row.
Southend’s Wembley-Bound Victory
Southend United booked their place at Wembley after beating Southport 1-3 in the FA Trophy. The Shrimpers initially faced a setback, going 1-0 down after Chris Sze scored. However, they turned the game around in the second half, demonstrating their quality.
Charlie Kendall scored twice for Southend, and Jack Bridge also found the net.
Yeovil Town Seek to Recover Momentum
Yeovil Town are looking to bounce back after a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Gateshead. The loss stalled what had been a slight pick up in form for the Green and White’s. It was a very tired side that looked like they had travelled the 350 miles they just completed.
In the last month, the Glovers have played eight times. That’s twice a week, or 180 minutes every seven days, with at most three days recovery.
Fin Cousin-Dawson will be suspended for the next three games.
Sims’ Impact on Yeovil’s Performance
The absence of Sims was notable in Yeovil’s previous game. Yeovil looked like they missed something with no Sims in the squad.
Sims started the season well and is remembered for scoring the Glovers’ first goal of the season. Over the past month and a half, the ex-Southampton has shown why he has 20 Premier League appearances to his name. Sims has been influential in bringing the best out of Daly and vice versa.
Southend’s Playoff Push
Southend have played well over their last five games with three wins, a draw and a loss to their name. That run of form has seen them cement their challenge for the playoffs, where they currently lie seventh in the league.
United will be riding the crest of a wave going into Tuesday.
Scott-Morris: A Goalscoring Defender
- Scott-Morris stands out as a goal scorer.
- He is a centre back.
- The 28-year-old is currently second for goals.
It’s not often you see a defender near the top of the charts for goals but there is something unusual about Scott-Morris that makes him stand out from every other goalscorer in the league.
Yeovil Town face a challenging match against Southend United, who will be riding high after their FA Trophy success.
