Well, just when you thought it was safe to start picking a team to start against Peterborough Tilly throws a curve ball by deciding to end all interest in experienced left back Jamie Clapham.
"We've decided to look elsewhere for a left back" was the fairly definitive statement from the Blues boss.
Jamie Clapham - Not the new first team left back
The majority of Shrimpers who saw him play at Billericay felt this was the pefect guy to get a season or two out of to give more time for the promising 18 year old Johnny Herd to grow into the role.
No reason was given why Tilly decided on this course of action or if the player made the decision for him.
