Freddy Returns

Last year was a good session for Southend United the team came together and performed so much better than anyone would have thought of at the start of the session. We even managed a streak of great form that saw the team at the top of the table mid session. The thing we lacked was the capacity to capitalise on that streak and we missed out on gaining promotion.

Now the manager, Paul Sturrock, is building his team on last years success with promotion in mind, with hopefully a session in league one the following year.  Of course the signing everyone is talking about is the return of Welsh International Freddy Eastwood who scored the winning goal when Southend beat a full strength Manchester United at Root Hall in 2007. Over the years he has become a Southend legend and he just moved to the club for another two years.

I can't wait for the session to start this year, it going to be a hard one, as always, but an exciting one too. The football in the lower divisiona is hard and competitive, but I'm sure with the manager we have we will do well. Last year we had a good team and it already looking that at the start of the session we will have a great team.So come on you blues....
