Shrimpers manager Steve Tilson has will not be making any loan signings for Southend United.
The Blues boss has been hit by a series of injuries in recent weeks but has again ruled out bringing any temporary players to the club despite hinting that he would.
"I have looked around but it seems clubs are all operating with small squads these days and don't want to let people out," said Tilson.
"It's only worth bringing people in if they are better than we already have and I'm not prepared to take a gamble by bringing in someone I haven't seen play."
