Midweeks not the ideal time for a night game on Merseyside, but history shows it doesn't generally faze our boys. I hope that hasn't jinxed our chances The match will have full commentary by courtesy of BBC Essex. Go to this site and follow the links: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/13629210Recent changes in the way the beeb now presents commentaries makes a direct link to the matchday commentary impossible.

16 gone, Mensah needlessly booked.
Best chance so far went to Cox, well saved by the keeper.

35 gone, Mensah walking a tightrope after a dubious challenge. Expect him to be swapped with Akinola at half time. Hamann has just been called on to make first serious save.

A good result on the road tonight, Southport sounded well beaten in the end.
