STURROCK TO TINKER

Posted on: Fri 03 Sep 2010

Southend United manager Paul Sturrock could tinker with his attacking options ahead of Saturday's match with Torquay United.

The Blues have led the line with Barry Corr Sturrock's son Blair in Southend's last three matches.

But the Scotsman may decide to change things against the Gulls as Blues bid to end Torquay's unbeaten start to their League Two season.

"The strikers have suffered the most out of all the players because of all the work they've had to put in during the last few games we've had," Sturrock told Blue Player.

"I think they look the weariest of the squad, so I will monitor that and see if I need to freshen it up."

Matt Paterson, who scored twice against Bristol City in the Carling Cup last month, could enter Sturrock's thoughts, along with Scott Spencer.

The striker trained with the rest of the squad yesterday after recovering from the back spasms which forced him to miss the matches against both Bradford City and Gillingham.

Right-back Sean Clohessy will return to the team after serving a one-match suspension against the Gills, with Josh Simpson pushing further forward on to the right flank in place of Adam Bouzid who featured there on Tuesday.

"We tried Adam out wide but he's really a central midfielder and maybe it was a bit unfair playing him there," he said.

"He played in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Wednesday though and that did a few of the players good with their fitness."
