In recent years Southend have been associated with playing good, passing football.
We've always had good playmakers such as Bailey, Gower, Maher etc, with strikers such as Eastwood who favoured having the ball on the ground.
With the season soon approaching, I look at our squad, and I see Moussa being the most creative midfielder we have. Now, as put forward by some- do we structure next seasons side around having Franck in CM, and looking to play through the middle in a similar fashion to that of previous years.
Or, as we did towards the end of last season (with good results) should we use longer balls with a pacey striker.
Finally, could we look to use Revell more- as so far I don't think he has been used to full potential. Looking at his goals from Brighton, nearly all of them were headers. Yet with us, he has scored 1? The rest being with his feet. Maybe suggesting how he is being formatted to fit into our 'on the ground' style. Could we look to use a target man more this season, or would this sacrafice the good football people are so kean of.
I think the conclusion of this thread is the question- who do you think will be our key players that we look to build the squad around?
