Southend United decide not to offer trailist a contract

Thomson: Pining for Robins

Jake Thompson: Looking as if he didn't do enough to convince Luggy
 
It was short and sweet, as tweets tend to be, but it was fairly comprehensive, after just a couple of games midfielder Jake Thompson will not be offered a Shrimpers deal.

Echo journalist Chris Phillips wrote: 'Jake Thomson will not be offered a deal by Blues.'

This was after the former Saints youth played in both the Dartford, the first 'goalless' half, and Great Wakering Rovers, opening hour, victories.

Mixed reviews from the attending faithful, looked good on the ball when he saw it but nothing special sort of thing, there will not be a great shock in those quarters that a deal will not be in the offing.

Blues boss Paul Sturrock may believe that he has enough in the midfield department even after the departed Craig Easton, as ever, only time will tell.

It looks as if right-back Ryan Leonard is the favourite Luggy trailist at the moment, and the only on eon the plane to Scotland.

Thompson himself added before the Darts game: 'Southend, manager wants too see my work rate...', to which norwood_31 replied 'jake thompson - work rate, you have no work rate.'

 A good friend obviously, but it looks as if Luggy agreed!
