If used as an attacking outlet rather than constantly dropping back to defend,Macca will do ok for us.

If our left sided midfielder ( whoever it is ) doesn't track back , then Coker will be (a) exposed and (b) negated as an attacking threat , so sorry , your plan is flawed I'm afraid to say.

Would rather have Macca attacking the full back than Cokes,still it's all about opinions.
He still would be, but you want Coker pushing up supporting as well. Same as the winger still has to track back or Coker would have to deal with a wide player and their fullback.
Our fullbacks are exposed enough as it is.
Worrall does the same and does plenty of attacking.
He has also signed 3 strikers in the summer.

I am pleased with the signing. I rate SM highly and think he will be an asset. I understand the disappointment for some in not having a new striker but am positive ,if we put the right combination out from the ones we have, we will get goals. A player like SM added can only aid the strikers we have with quality balls in.

McLaughlin is probably better than any other left winger we have at the club going forward, why complain about something that will improve the first eleven? A big part of why we aren't scoring is that the crossing isn't good enough, McLaughlin will help with that.

may be Brown is going attack, attack , attack . Apologies I bumped my head yesterday
Bentley; White, Prosser, Barrett, Coker; Timlin, Leonard, Wordsworth; McLaughlin, Hunt, Worrall.
That will do nicely - can see that XI causing a lot of problems once Noel gets off the mark. 😁

Im most probably wrong, but didn't Phil Brown once say that Jakub Sokolik was practically a Southend player and the deal was all but done? Then he went to Yeovil?
Yes but that was a bit different, he thought he had a good chance of him joining and he didnt, this time he thinks he has already signed.
