Sturrock: 'We've got to be as hard working as we have in the last two games'
Blues boss Paul Sturrock believes the main problem with his side remaining at the top of the division as they take the long road to Crewe is the Shrimpers own complacency!
Sturrock told BBC Essex: "I fear ourselves. The problem with Southend is we get over-confident and a bit complacent. Then it costs us dear. At the end of last season, when we were going very well, we lost games and it shows if you're not totally committed you can come unstuck."
After winning five consequtive matches they only head League Two on a goal difference of three goals over Crawley who are also away, to Northampton Town; Morecambe, Shrewsbury Town and the wonderful AFC Wimbledon can all replace Southend if they slip up at gresty Road.
