In the last match Southend’s season got up and running with an emphatic win at Sheffield United with the Blues coming away from Bramall Lane with a three-nil win.

Bristol Rovers visit tomorrow for a match Southend will be keen to use as one to build on that impressive midweek win.

The step up to League 1 has been a decent one for Bristol Rovers so far but they did suffer a midweek defeat against Bolton to the Pirates will be looking to get back on track at Roots Hall, we’ll of course not want that.
