All for One and One for All

On loan defender Dorian Dervite has, not surprisingly, formed a strong link with fellow French Blues Jean-Francois Christophe and Francis Laurent.

He told www.southendunited.co.uk: "I am living just around the corner from Jeff and Francis which has made it easy to settle in. It's nice to have a few people to speak in French with and they have made me feel at home. Hopefully that understanding can translate onto the pitch".

We hope so too, when we see the lads again, hopefully this Saturday at Roots Hall against Tranmere.

Like everyone the giant centre half has been frustrated by the weather and with the last two games called off has only had the one match v Bristol Rovers to show us what a good player he obviously is.

The team will be hoping to build on that 1-0 victory and start moving back up the table.
