Jakub Sokolik might not have been involved for us against Scunthorpe on Tuesday night but Phil Brown has said in his official website interview that he’s expecting him to have an impact at Roots Hall.

‘I was very impressed with Jakub in the game against Colchester and in training last week.

‘We’ve had a number of injury problems in the centre of defence this season and he’ll come in to play a big part between now and the end of the season.

‘He’s a young lad, but Liverpool have given him a good education. I’m sure he’ll come here and make an impact.’

Defensively we’ve struggled to keep a regular back four in place, if it’s not a full back being sidelined it’s a central defender and Sokolik’s arrival on loan from Liverpool was expected to see him become the latest central defensive option that we used but Brown decided not to bring the 20 year old in instantly and left him among the substitutes in our two-two draw with Scunthorpe.

Perhaps his debut will come in our next League 2 fixture but if we don’t suffer any injuries in training, and no one has picked up any major niggles, then I’m not so sure if Brown will change the defence so his chance to ‘make an impact’ might have to wait a little longer.
