We haven’t won at Tranmere for 20 years, so 3 points there is overdue. My best memory of Tranmere away games is a Colin Flatt double in our 2-1 win in 1967.

The man in charge is fourth year referee Carl Berry from Cheam in Surrey, so quite a trek for him too, although as the UK and Ireland Distribution Manager for a major provider of network security appliances, he’s probably used to travelling.

He has refereed Southend four times before - firstly, 2011/12’s opener and customary win against Hereford at home. He did okay as far as I can recall with Hereford just shading the yellow cards 3-2.

The second was the 1-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers the same season when a somewhat "soft" late Harrold penalty clinched the points. We had a good shout for a penalty ourselves which was marginally outside the box. One yellow apiece with Prosser getting ours.

Thirdly was a far from convincing performance in the home win against Rochdale in 2012/13 and later in the same season as a late replacement at Barnet which saw a 2-0 defeat both with goals and cards. Prosser again and Hurst.

His card count is way above average with 54 yellows and 5 reds (all for double yellows) from 14 matches.

Assisting will be Ken Haycock from Keighley and Alix Pashley from Chesterfield with James Wilson from Cheshire acting as 4th Official.

Freddy's 2nd debut.

There wasn't a pen.

Ours was.

Terrible ref.
