Southend United's Paul Sturrock and Gillingham's Ian Hendon speak after JPT tie
It was the boss and the assistant show after Southend's 4-3 penalty shoot out win over the winless Gills Tuesday, and while one was unhappy in victory, the other was poitive in defeat. Sturrock: 'Roots Hall has to become a bastion'Blues boss felt it was 5-5 when Blair was hitting the winning penalty, as he didn't have a clue what was going on hiding in the changing rooms!Overall though he wasn't happy with the team performance and believes they have to up their game to make the home of football a place to fear for visiting teams.Luggy told www.southendunited.co.uk: "We are looking to a certain standard because Roots Hall has to become a bastion. If we are to turn the corner then we must be confident of winning our home games and I still don't think we have found that magic formula. We were very, very leggy Tuesday. I gave the players as much rest as I could but I am starting to think that maybe I have been under training them."Blimey, not good news for the lads who look like they are going to have to put some work in before Saturday's tough match with 100% Torquay United. Then we're see how much progress has been made.Luggy continued: "My players didn't play well, as a team or individually, and I won't be using tiredness as an excuse. I think that some players aren't up to fitness yet and they can't contribute Saturday/Tuesday/Saturday. But when asked to do individual jobs they let themselves down."Those poor players! Hey Luggs, we did win. And the Shrimpers manager acknowledged that!He concluded: "At the end of the day I am happy to be through to the next round as I want to go as far as possible in the trophy."
