Southend fail in Phillips appeal

Image: Mark Phillips: Will indeed serve his suspension

Southend have had their appeal against Mark Phillips' red card against Dagenham upheld.

The centre-back was dismissed for a reckless challenge on Rhys Murphy during the 1-0 defeat. Phillips failed to overturn his three-match suspension and will now sit out Saturday's trip to Newport as well as the home game against Mansfield the following Friday and the trip to Exeter on November 16.
