We still await official confirmation that returning midfielder Lee Sawyer had signed on the dotted line, but the player himself seems to think he's back at Roots Hall! Sawyer: 'I'm so excited to be coming back to Roots Hall' Well, no official news yet, but there's no doubting that young Lee Sawyer believes he's back as a Shrimper. Sawyer told www.echo-news.co.uk: "I'm so excited to be coming back to Roots Hall and can't wait to get everything sorted. I've had a tough year since my last loan spell with Southend and being released by Chelsea but it was a real kick up the backside for me. I really knuckled down at Woking and worked hard and will be doing the same for Southend so I can show what I can do."
