Everyone knows the gaffer (Andy Scott) will continue to improve the squad. We feel we have had a good season, it can be great if we can finish higher. We are all ambitious and want to be part of it."Ex-Shrimper Charlie MacDonald has led the way with 16 goals this term and it seems he's been passing on his opinion of the club.The Bees own Mr. Bean continued: "Speaking to Charlie, he has been there and says the fans get on their backs. If we start well and get at them from minute one we can see if they can handle the pressure of the relegation battle they are in."We'll try Marcus, but S24 thinks Charlie means we got on his back because he wasn't very good at our place, and believes your hear a very passionate Roots Hall behind their team for this one.
