Southend boss Steve Tilson will be able to call upon the services of full-back Charlie Mulgrew for the trip the County Ground to face Swindon.Mulgrew was due to link up with his Scotland Under-21 team-mates, but the Scottish FA have granted the Shrimps special dispensation to field the on-loan Wolves defender against Town.

Tilson will be without striker Alex Revell, who is set to feature in the reserve game against Norwich on Tuesday after finally overcoming a hernia injury.

Full-back Che Wilson will not feature again this season after suffering an Achilles injury.

Lee Barnard and Anthony Grant both came off the bench during Good Friday's draw with leaders Swansea and will hope to have done enough to force their way into Tilson's starting XI.

Tilson has no doubts about his aim for the rest of the season, saying: "What we want to achieve this season is a place in the play-offs."
