Sturrock before Lincoln City: 'Steve Tilson becomes the enemy at kick-off'
Southend United manager Paul Sturrock expects former boss Tilson to get a great reception from the travelling faithful before Saturday's clash at Sincil Bank, then it's all about grabbing three points! Sturrock: 'I think Tilson will have his troops wound up for Saturday' It's official, Blues boss is a fully paid up member of the Tilly fan club after the present Imps manager's brought several seasons of success to Roots Hall.Sturrock told www.southendunited.co.uk: "Steve's record at this football club was excellent. He did a fantastic job for Southend United over the years and he has left the club a bit of a legend. I am sure he'll get the praise he deserves from our fans before the game but I know football fans. He becomes the enemy at kick-off and I don't think anyone would have it differently."So he goes to Sincil Bank Saturday to praise Tilson, but he also wants to bury him.Sturrock continued: "Tilson has taken Lincoln out of the relegation tussle they were in and I think he will have his troops wound up for Saturday. For us though it's important to continue the progression we have shown and get ourselves into the play-offs and the only way we can do that is by winning games. The only way we can move up the table is by geeting three points each week and we have to go to Lincoln and be disciplined then I'm sure we will get the three points."
