Sturrock: 'I put Bilel on to win a few headers'; Knell: 'We thought we had weathered the storm'
Southend United's Paul Sturrock and Bury's Alan Knell both had their say after the points were shared at Roots Hall Friday evening. Sturrock: 'I'm speaking to several targets'Not the most exciting of games, until that French Tunisian bloke came on, and Blues boss Paul Sturrock was certainly pleased that centre-back come forward Bilel Moshni was passed fit enough to sit on the bench until called upon with 14 minutes left to eventually save the game. Sturrock told www.southendunited.co.uk: "Bilel was a bit ring rusty and I put him on to win a few headers, but I was really pleased that he got the goal. I would have been very disappointed if we had not taken something out of the game. In the first half we were the better side and if any side deserved to come in at half-time in the lead it was us.Fair enough, Bury hardly looked promotion contenders, but looked to have done enough to claim the three points until the Shrimpers stoppage time equaiser.Sturrock continued: "But they are a very good side and have the best away form in the league, so it was disappointing to see that sucker punch floor us again at home. However, the players showed character and we chased the game and got our reward. Our defending at home has been our biggest problem this season but hopefully we can settle down now the players are fit. I would still like to add to the squad offensively and I'm speaking to several targets." try { FB.Event.subscribe('xfbml.render', function() { var fbTags = $('.facebookLike'); for(var i=0; iretweet-->Knill: 'The opportunities were there but we didn't take them'Obviously Bury boss Alan Knill was upset to have seen victory grabbed from his hands so late in the day meaning that the Shakers winless run is now stretched to seven games.Knill told www.buryfc.co.uk: "To concede like we did right at the end was very disappointing. We thought we had weathered the storm but we paid the price for not taking more of a lead when he had our chances. The opportunities were there but we didn't take them and that has ultimately cost us the win that would have got us back on track."So all hos side can do is dust themselves down and await the next challenge.Knill continued: "We can't do much about it now though and at least we've got a point, so we must take some consolation from that. It would have been a very long journey home if we hadn't got something from the game and now we must kick on against Shrewsbury next week."
