Trialist Bilel Mohsni was amongst the players on target as Town’s U21s thrashed Cardiff 6-0 at Playford Road this lunchtime. The Southend man slammed in the third from 30 yards in the second half, Ronan Murray, Kyle Hammond, David October, Mark Timlin and Jack Marriott netting the other goals.
Left-back David October turned down a loan move to a non-league side as he’d prefer to go to a Football League club, manager Mick McCarthy has revealed.
