As did Leon Clark throughout his time here on loan, didn't do him any harm. Wayne Gray was another who could sometimes look lazy but turn it on when necessary. I really don't think Paterson should be criticised for being of a similar type to these two.
 
Not quite, im always more than fair an id love to be proven wrong so there :p but i have doubt in him unfortunately that's more than fair, i wont stand up in the west an rip the poor lad like i know some do an will !

Freddy was lazy aswell but came to life when he got the ball.
 
Most players looked unfit, thats what pre season is all about. Paterson is a prospect, give the lad a chance. I think too many people expect him to be exactly like freddy. He's not that type of player, he's got a good touch and with a bit of encouragement can be a great player for southend. I honestly think he wont get the chance Due to the boo boys and will be offloaded and prove all u wrong just like Paynter and Hooper

Remember how totally knackered Damian Scannell looked after half an hour playing at Orient away last season? It's only a fitness thing and I'm not unduly concerned if he was puffing a bit or suffered a bit of cramp in only their 2nd game of preseason.

I'd hoped Paterson would have been bulking up in the gym over the summer. I'm not sure whether it was a fitness issue last season, but he looked lightweight. It is therefore a legitimate concern to hear that he was struggling.

FWIW I thought there was a touch of the Barry Conlons about his performance at Dartford. Conlon had a decent career, unfortunately it was not with us.
 
Starting XI

Morris

Clohessy, Coughlan, Phillips, Herd

Soares, Grant, Easton, Hall

Corr, Spencer

We also have a trialist by the name of Lee Smith who wears 18!! (No it's not me!)
 
I'm assuming it's the one that was at Histon last year, although I could be wrong of course!
 
Probaly Lee Smith from Gloucester city. Well experienced in non-league. Maybe could make the jump.

More likely to be the one who recently left Gloucester at the end of his contract because "highr league sides" were after him. The one at Histon is a striker who score 4 in 25 in the BSP. Not only does he not sound good, but we don't need another striker. The Lee Smith from Gloucester can play all the way down the right-hand side of the pitch, so he seems more likely.
 
The Gloucester one signed for Forest Green last month.

The Histon one generally played as a right winger for his former club Bury Town and is only 22.
 
Looking around the net, the Histon one was described as one of their best performers last season on the right flank. He sounds like a player with potential anyway.

But who knows, it might be someone completely different!

Surely we must have more trialists than just this guy and Phillips?
