Sturrock: 'Thought we shaded it'
Preston North End: Southend United manager Paul Sturrock was short but sweet after his side had defeated League One Preston North End 1-0 entering the next stage of the competition. Sturrock: 'Showed we really wanted to win' A few words from both Blues boss Paul Sturrock and Preston manager Phil Brown, and as you can imagine, one was happier than the other! Sturrock said: 'The players worked hard and I thought we shaded the win, and I'm pleased for Dicko too. In the end I decided to not make many changes because the players wanted to play. We showed we really wanted to win.' However, Luggy revealed that centre-back Mark Phillips with his hamstring, which led to his 81st minute substitution, and the groin of left-back Peter Gilbert, have left both defenders in some doubt for the weekend visit of Bristol Rovers.
