Port Vale deserved their victory over Shrimpers says Sturrock
Both managers have their say after Port Vales 3-1 victory at Roots Hall Saturday afternoon. Sturrock: 'Supporters should expect a certain level of attitude & work rate'There was no hising place for Blues boss Paul Sturrock after a horrible defeat at Roots Hall Saturday afternoon, where his hastely assembled squad did well to keep it down to just a two goal margin so out played were they all over the field of play.Luggy told www.southendunited.co.uk: "There should be more than frustration from the fans as there were players today that I don't believe should be taking their wages home."Oh no, let's not go there!He continued: "If you support a football club you expect a certain level of attitude and work rate, which I didn't see in my team today. Hopefully now people will be realistic and get a reality check, we are nowhere the standard. We have a lot of players who are here for a reason because they have come from all different clubs of varying levels but now thay are League Two players."Oh well, at least we didn't lose 7-0 to Crewe, yet!Even so Sturrock was was full of praise for Port Vale and their manager Micky Adams, though giving the Shrimpers faithful a reminder that it took the Valiants boss 18 months to get to this stage.Luggy concluded: "We are not going to build a team overnight, I thought we were further down the line than we showed today but the potential champions of this league have beaten us. They played the game the way I like to see it played and I'm going to work day and night to make sure that happens."
