Sawyer: 'I'm so excited to be coming back to Roots Hall'

Well, no official news yet, but there's no doubting that young Lee Sawyer believes he's back as a Blue for the Shrimpers.

Sawyer told www.echo-news.co.uk: "I'm so excited to be coming back to Roots Hall and can't wait to get everything sorted. I've had a tough year since my last loan spell with Southend and being released by Chelsea but it was a real kick up the backside for me. I really knuckled down at Woking and worked hard and will be doing the same for Southend so I can show what I can do."

Let's hope he's not shot his bolt prematurely, and that Anthony Grant isn't buggering off in a different direction, but for now it's all looking positive for a prodical son who, if he's not telling porkies, would be a massive shot in the arm for Blues boss Paul Sturrock in improving the squad for a serious play-off challenge.
