Southend United Sturrock and Stockport County Simpson speak out

07 August 2010 01:26
Both managers have their say before Saturday's League Two season opener between Shrimpers and Hatters, and both will have plenty of new players that will need to gel as quickly as possible. Sturrock:Simpson: 'I'm 99 per cent sure of the team to play Southend' Hatters boss Simpson told www.manchesteronline.co.uk: "I'm 99 per cent sure of the team to play Southend. I'm delighted with the attitude of the players and the fitness levels are getting closer to where I would like them to be ahead of that first game. I would rather have had six weeks longer with my preparation because I've had to put this group together in the space of three weeks, so we've had to assemble a squad very quickly. Hopefully, we won't be too far away come Saturday."
