Southend United's Paul Sturrock watches tapes to stop Roots Hall losses before Bury
Southend United manager Paul Sturrock is armed with DVD's of his side's recent home games to try and work out why they have not picked up a win since beating Rotherham United last October. Sturrock: Blues boss Paul Sturrock is desperate to work out why we've stooped gaining three points in front of the faithful with the last success two and half long months ago against er, Rotherham. Saturday's surprise 2-1 win at the Don Valley Srtadium was Southend's fifth league win away from Roots Hall this season, this compares to just three victories at the home of football, so what's going on? Sturrock told BBC Essex: "I've been watching tape after tape to see if there's anything in what we're doing. I'm not going to promise anything but I'm going to try and come up with something that might help us." The Shrimpers now have a great chance to turn this form around as they face back-to-back home fixtures against Bury and Macclesfield and, due to rearranged matches, seven of the next ten games up to the end of February are on the hallowed turf.Luggy concluded: "If we could just turn our home form. If we start winning our home games on a regular occurrence we'll be shooting up this league. I've told the players that. We've got two home games on the bounce and it's vitally important we take six points."
