Saturday provides an interesting conundrum for Town fans. A win for the Mariners would mean rivals Scunthorpe are promoted, while a defeat could seriously thwart the Iron's promotion bid. Regardless of this though, Southend will be tough opposition. A poor start to the season saw the Shrimpers near the foot of the table. However, an excellent second half to the season has seen Steve Tilson's (left) men climb firmly into the promotion picture. Their form has wobbled since their LDV Final defeat to Wrexham, compounded by a defeat to Yeovil last weekend. However, promotion is still in their own hands with victory on Saturday taking them up to League One.
Solidarity starts from the back and in veteran defender Spencer Prior, Southend have just that. Another experienced defender, Duncan Jupp (left), who has appeared for Wimbledon, Fulham and Luton, joins the former Manchester City and Cardiff defender in the Southend back line. Luke Guttridge was snapped up from relegated Cambridge United in March while former Barnet midfielder Mark Gower provides creativity from the flanks or in the centre of midfield. In attack, Tilson can call upon Lawrie Dudfield, a former Hull City striker and also the former Wimbledon striker Wayne Gray.
Freddy Eastwood (left). Explosive striker who joined the Shrimpers earlier this season for an undisclosed fee from Grays Atheltic. Netted against the Mariners back in November and has scored a total of 21 goals this term, making him one of the most feared strikers in the division.

A Freddy Eastwood goal following a mistake by Rob Jones meant that Southend grabbed a point at Roots Hall back in November. The Mariners had previously taken the lead against the Shrimpers, through a rare John McDermott strike after 32 minutes. However, The Mariners were unable to hold on and were forced to settle for a point.
