Breaking News Mildy out Joyce in

[jackspratt]

Southend United will be without goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall for tomorrow's match against Hereford United.
Mildenhall limped off at half-time against Brighton and Hove Albion with a knee injury on Tuesday evening.
And although the problem is not severe it is likely to keep Blues number one out for at least a week.
That means that Ian Joyce will start only his second match in the Football League having also replaced Mildenhall on Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile, midfielder Alan McCormack has shrugged off a groin problem and is available for the match against the relegation threatened Bulls.
Strikers Dougie Freedman (thigh) and James Walker (hamstring)

Shame, Mildy has been getting a good run of games and has even been immune to criticism form the Wigster in the last few matches. Nothing against Joyce but lets hope he gets back soon.

 

[South Bucks Shrimper]

I hope he grabs the opportunity with both hands, and the occasional firm punch.

 

[MK Shrimper]

We've suddenly got a solid back four so hopefully he won't have much to do, and when he does I'm sure he'll rise to the challenge.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Good luck to Joyce, I thought he played well on Tuesday when he came on.

Hopefully he wont have a great deal to do.

Yup, good luck to the lad. Waited patiently, hopefully he'll do us proud. No keepy ups at the back though, Ian.

[Reg Martin]

good opportunity for joyce to win a new contract

 

[Basildon Blue]

I think he deserves the chance to show us what he is capable of. I hope he does well and challenges Mildy for the number 1 shirt.

I'll take a 4-3 win as it was with him in goal at Crewe, Just win Blues, Win!

 

[pickledseal]

Good luck Joycey! Hope he is a good challenger to the No1 jersey... will keep Mildy on his toes!

Let's be honest, he couldn't have a better game to come intp. Hereford are the worst team in the division, IMO, and not being at Roots Hall will probably help. Plus having a Premier League quality centre-half in front of him won't hurt either.
