Sturoock told PA Sport: "I'm very excited about the squad I've got and that showed with players who can come off the bench and have a big influence on the game. We had to show a lot of character to win that game, and I mean the whole squad, including the substitutes. Bilel Mohsni is a quality player and a bit of a character as well. But he's come on and turned the game for us."
However, he had some critism about some sloppy defending before the break, while accepting Southend could have had the match sewn up soon after!
Sturrock said: "I was very disappointed by the way we conceded the goals in the first half and we had three great chances at the start of the second half. We're back on top but we've just got to keep winning games and then other teams have got to try and catch us. But we've got some difficult games coming up, especially away from home, so the more points we can get on the board now the better it will be for us."
Indeed it is as we get ready to face the second match of our four game awayday marathon!
