Albion are weighing up whether to let Glen Rea stay at League One play-off candidates Southend United.
The Republic of Ireland under-21 international's loan spell at Roots Hall ends on Saturday.

Southend want to keep Rea, who can play at centre-half or in central midfield, for the rest of the season.

Albion manager Chris Hughton told The Argus: "No decision has been made on that. We were very much waiting to see how much football he gets. He is certainly enjoying it there and he has been involved.
"He probably hasn't had the amount of minutes he would have liked but, from our point of view, it's something we have to assess."



Rea has made seven starts and ten substitute appearances since joining Southend in August.
He was an unused substitute in their heavy home defeat by Millwall at Roots Hall today.

Don't see the point unless Prosser or Bolger are on their way.

Good player but could our budget be better spent elsewhere?

i don't think we really need him at the moment. i'd let him go then look at getting him again at the end of the season with a view to replacing Barrett and/or Prosser as I don't think Barrett can manage another season at this level sadly, legend though he is

Keeping Rea and letting Prosser go would make sense to me, and free up some wages.

I know Prosser is left sided but isn't Rea a right footer?

Not to me it wouldn't.

You are not alone

Bolger has been out of favour for quite a while now, is he on his way at Rea's expense ?

Think main reason is Thompson has been superb so no room for Bolger at the moment.

Makes a lot of sence to me.
Thompson Barrett Bolger and Rea (who can play midfield) are all ahead of Prosser. Do we need a fourth choice centre back.
Prosser. Piggott out on loan and bring a centre forward in too help Mooney and Hunt (when he is fit)
