Although Brown was in discomfort against the Chairboys, the ex-Leyton Orient midfielder isn’t set to be a long-term concern. Discussing the reasons behind the 25-year-old’s early withdrawal, Seasiders head coach Ian Evatt said: “I was suffering with a really bad chest infection for a few weeks, and Jordan has had the same. “He’s been fine and training all week, but the level raise of intensity really caught him out. “He was ill, actually quite ill. There was a loss of vision, and it did get worse than that; I don’t really need to share too much else because fortunately he’s okay now. “He wasn’t in a good place, but thankfully he’s settled now, his body temperature has come down, his heart rate has recovered to where it should, and hopefully he’s on the mend.”
