Sturrock: 'I did feel fresh legs were needed'
Blues boss Paul Sturrock is in no doubt that he has the size and talent in the squad to make a concerted promotion push in League two this season, helped by a 3-0 win away to Barnet Tuesday evening.
Sturrock told BBC Essex: "It was a difficult game. We had a hard game on Saturday. We took a lot of energy out of ourselves, so I did feel fresh legs were needed. The boys responded very well. Football is a squad game in this day and age and one of them got a goal as well. (Anthony) Grant came in. Bilel hasn't had many starts lately, and Hall got to play in a position he doesn't normally get to play in, and I thought the wee bit of freedom was the real benefit."
Once again, the canny Scot has been proved right!
