No change for Southend against Gulls

Southend are hoping to put their league defeat at the hands of Cheltenham behind them when they take on Torquay in the replay of their FA Cup first round match.

Manager David Webb will be calling on the same set of players to help them through to the second round where they will meet either Port Vale or Canvey Island.

David Lee and Scott Forbes, both of who played in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Cheltenham despite carrying injuries, will be in the team again.

Webb said: "It would be nice to meet Canvey Island in the next round as it would set up a local derby.

"But our minds are focused on the game with Torquay before we start thinking ahead."

Torquay United will be without sweeper Jason Rowbotham for their trip to Southend.

Rowbotham is cup-tied and so United boss Wes Saunders will have to again make changes to his back line.

Left wing-back Robbie Herrera is still ruled out by the knee injury he received in the 1-1 draw against Southend at Plainmoor, while top-scorer Kevin Hill is suffering with a heavy cold and will need a late fitness test.

Saunders said: "We will wait on Hilly and see how he comes through. If Kevin is all right it will be roughly the same as Saturday with someone coming in for Jason at the back."

Teenagers Simon Lyons and Jimmy Benefield are added to the squad as cover.
