Captain Craig: 'Michael Timlin is a good pal of mine and he's just keeping my spot in the team warm'
Blues skipper Craig Easton is naturally upset to be out for at least a month with a calf injury, but knows the club have signed on loan a very capable replacement in Swindon's Michael Timlin. Easton: The Shrimpers skipper Craig Easton has been replaced, but he hopes only for a month! By his former team mate, fellow midfielder, and it seems close friend, one Michael Timlin.Yet another Robin, and another player Blues boss Paul Sturrock has signed in the past, was picked up on a month's loan from League One Swindon Town after it was confirmed that Captain Craig could be out until mid-October at the earliest due to a calf injury picked up at the Cobblers Saturday.He told www.southendunited.co.uk: "Fortunately I have only strained it, it happened in the last five minutes of the game against Northampton Town. The medical staff are saying that I should be out for around 3-4 weeks which is a blow as were starting to find some sort of settled side"And the club captain was quick to make sure everyone knew that he expects to be back in his central midfield position once he recovers full fitness, while keeping a smile on his face.Craig continued: "Michael is a good pal of mine and I've told him he is just keeping my spot in the team warm. Seriously though he will come in and do a good job for us so I'm pleased to see him here."
