Roots Fool

Hi-Tec is back at Southend. Rejoice. 

Had to cut that wage bill down. Losing some 3star prospects is difficult to stomach, but I have to look at the big picture.

On the incoming side, taking advantage of my new link with Bristol City. But also been screwed over by a season ending injury to Ryan Glover. Delighted to get to the stage where I could actually spend some money, and Elliot Whitehouse has already cemented a place in the team. 

After starting the season with my job under threat, we're now on an 8-game winning streak and have risen to second going into January. When everybody is fit, we line up like this. Having previously tested 442, 4231 and 442 diamond earlier in the season.

Annoying that my two best players, Ralph and Clifford (the latter of which missed the first few months of the season) are both left back. Might start to move Ralph central, but he's deadly storming up the wing.
