Match Preview

Draper blow for Macc Macclesfield will be without suspended midfielder Ross Draper when they take on Southend. Draper picked up his fifth yellow card of the season on Tuesday night as the Silkmen extended their unbeaten run to four games, of which they have won three, by beating Bradford 1-0. Defender Paul Morgan (broken arm) is still missing, although he looks set to return to training next week. Striker Waide Fairhurst (ankle) is also nearing a return and is set to step up his recovering in a couple of weeks. Goalkeeper Jack Cudworth is still some way from coming back after an operation on his ankle. Ben Tomlinson missed the Bantams encounter due to a knock sustained against Crewe last Saturday and is sidelined once more. Luke Prosser is set to be contention for Southend as manager Paul Sturrock decides which XI to go with at the Moss Rose. Defender Prosser missed Tuesday`s 3-0 victory at Barnet on medical advice following concussion but should be back in the frame this weekend. Sturrock made five changes to his side at Underhill as the Shrimpers played their second game in four days and he is again expected to rotate his ranks as they prepare for a third match in a week. On-loan goalkeeper Luke Daniels stepped in for his debut to replace Glenn Morris, who remains sidelined for around another two to three weeks with his thigh tear. Elsewhere, Chris Barker replaced Prosser, while Ryan Leonard, Anthony Grant and Bilel Mohsni came in for Kane Ferdinand, Jean-Paul Kalala and Neil Harris, who each dropped to the bench. Fit-again midfielder Lee Sawyer continues to push for inclusion having overcome his thigh injury but striker Barry Corr (knee) is making slow progress with his rehabilitation.

Match Report

Southend go top Southend moved to the top of League Two with their ninth win in ten games - a 2-0 victory at Macclesfield. Macclesfield, themselves on a five-match unbeaten run, might have been expected to have provided tougher opposition. But shorn of their regular forward line they hardly posed a threat. Southend took advantage of their territorial domination in the 39th minute when Shaun Brisley could only loop a defensive header into the path of Ryan Hall, who blasted home a rising volley from 15 yards for his fourth of the season. The home side upped the pace after the break with Colin Daniel hitting a rising drive over the bar in the 49th minute and Vinny Mukendi stinging the hands of Luke Daniels with a rising 30-yard drive. Southend wrapped up the game on the hour when Macc failed to clear a corner and Kane Ferdinand turned to blast home his fourth of the season from six yards. The hosts tried to launch a rearguard action, but their best chance to grab a goal back went begging when Nat Brown sent a header inches wide in the 76th minute.
