Wignall commented to the club's official website, www.southendunited.co.uk, that, "he is a quality player, certainly one of the better ones in the Conference. He is equipped with the experience of playing League football an can score goals". Gower, who has also had a spell with Scottish Premier League outfit Motherwell during a seven-year career declared, "It is a good opportunity for me; I have been out of the League for two years now". The midfielder, who is equally capable in the centre of the park or on the right touchline, added, "I think the manager wants to get down and pass it and that is what my game is all about: getting on the ball passing it and bringing other players into the game".
