Freddy: Knee let me down

[Evening Echo]

FREDDY Eastwood feels a persistent knee injury stopped him hitting top form during his loan spell at Southend United last season.

Southend would be crazy to miss this opportunity.If fixing the knee, brings him back to anywhere near his best, he will tear those League 2 defences apart. Definitely worth the gamble. Could be the best signing for years. Give a One Year contract, with an option to extend.

Balls over his head stopped him hitting top form.

Do you know how many times I read that before realising you meant high balls and not Freddys balls?

It would slow the best of us down ...................

The main message that I get from the article is that Freddie wants to stay ..... I know his agent might think differently but that all sounds good for the future .... the only fly in the ointment that I can seee is that we seem to have a number of strikers who can only play for part of the season before injuries or old age begin to take their toll. Wouldn,t it be nice to have some youngster coming through?

Still I don't subscribe to the view that you need a 20+ goal scorer to get promotion (although it would help!) if the midfield and defence are also weighing in with goals.

You can get a special pair of sport pants for that condition!

just wasnt match fit when he came to us, a good pre-season and he could get us up on his own.

 

[stortford]

And a crafty way of undermining any attempts his agent might make to sell him elsewhere?

"Freddie Eastwood? He's got a dodgy knee, we can't gamble on him".

On a more sensible note,imo he would be wasted here,for just the reason given above. If both Corr and Dickinson are fit for the start of next season, and PS wants to play with two strikers i can see Eastwood being left sitting on the bench. Both Corr and Dickinson are much more suited to PS football than Eastwood ever will be.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Will Corr ever play again? The man is a legend as from what I saw in the playoff games he's still head and shoulders above ALL league 2 strikers.

Well lets hope Sturrock adapts then to play better football.

He has already suggested that at home things will change, and we saw a change in tactics in the last 4 or 5 games.

Id rather we set out to play to Freddy's strengths than Corrs as Id be very surprised if the latter features much if at all so not wise to base our tactic on him being there.

The thought of a fit Freddy and partnership next season, watch out :)
