Southend United's Paul Sturrock and Aldershot Town's Kevin Dillon speak before the game

14 August 2010 01:24
Both managers involved in Saturday's game between the Shrimpers and Shots in Hampshire have had their say, and one believes we'll be in for a cracker, 0-0 then! Sturrock:Blues boss Paul Sturrock wants to get that first three points of the season on board as soon as possible, and as the team are on a high after the exciting Carling Cup win over Bristol City, this Saturday away to the Shots would be as good a place as any, though there will probably be changes to the team that played most of Tuesday.Sturrock told www.southendunited.co.uk: "Aldershot did very well last season altough I don't think they have started as well as they would have liked this year. We have to go there and be miserly in defence and hope the strikers who have some confidence now get us some goals. I am led to believe that Aldershot pass the ball around for fun. We like to pass it a wee bit as well so it should make for a decent game."    And as for the starting eleven, we may see the debut of centre-back Bilel Mohsni if the French Football Federation can catch up on their paperwork, but more doubtful we'll catch midfielder Adam Bouzid, where Luggy has even got the Morroccan players Dad involved!However, it would be a surprise if the team did not have a similar look to the side that took to the pitch against Stockport last weekend, hard as that would be on two-goal Matt Paterson, who must be pushing strikers Barry Corr and Scott Spencer very hard.Paul continued: "With the amount of minutes we played against Bristol City the other night I have to decide whether to freshen things up or not and that is something that will be mulling over my mind. 90 minutes would have been bad enough but another 30 on top has made it more difficult so I have got to make a decision on who plays and who doesn't."    Dillon:
