Opposition View - Tilson Looking For First Win

Posted on: Fri 04 Sep 2009

SOUTHEND UNITED manager Steve Tilson would love to claim his side's first League victory of the campaign when they play host to Orient on Friday night.

The Shrimpers have yet to register their first three-point haul this term, despite drawing four of their five starts, and Tilson wants to put that right as soon as possible.

He told Southend's official website: "I have been pleased with performances so far but it would be great to now turn one of those into a win.

"Matches with us and Orient are normally quite entertaining and there's a good atmosphere so we are looking forward to it."

Tilson only has 16 fit players to choose from for the visit of the O's and the Southend boss does not intend using his full quota of seven substitutes.

Midfielder Jean-François Christophe is suspended after being sent off in last week's 2-1 defeat at Swindon Town.

Striker Alex Revell and winger Kevin Betsy left Roots Hall on transfer deadline day to join League 1 rivals Swindon and Wycombe on loan respectively.

Francis Laurent and Lee Sawyer are hoping to return from ankle and knee injuries.
