Phillips: 'Bit of an anti climax for me as I got a niggle in my groin, not happy'
Echoman Chris Phillips was on hand after the game to pick up some early quotes from manager and players alike after the Shrimpers storming 4-1 win over the gutless Gulls Saturday afternoon at roots Hall.
Blues boss Paul Sturrock - 'Second half was great but we need to be starting games like that and that's the worry.'
Lighten up Luggs, who confirmed to BBC Essex that he may be looking for a loan signing re the keeping position and the limping shot stopper Glenn Morris.
So, what did the players feel like after that?
Debutant keeper Daniel Bentley - 'I'm ready to stand in for Morris if required and it was great to make my debut for the first team today.'
We shall see what Luggy can come up with, former No. 2 Rhys Evans is still without a club, maybe not!
Double goalscorer Kane Ferdinand - 'I'm pleased to have got the two goals but being honest I think I should've had more.'
A brace will do us for now Ferdy!
As for our goal scoring defender Mark Phillips, he's never short for words!
Phillips tweeted - 'An enjoyable afternoon at work today-great team performance,another goal for me and the fans were brilliant....defo something to build on. Think I'm gonna treat myself to a costa express, bit of an anti climax for me as I got a niggle in my groin.....not happy.'
Yes, saw him grabbing the area that caused him trouble earlier this season during the second half; how serious is the Captain Chris Barker lurgy? Bilel to get the call at Barnet in midweek?
Tuesday night can't come quick enough!
