So, folks, who gets your vote for player of the month for August? Is it:
1. Darryl Flahavan - who has pulled off wonder saves this month, notably at Walsall; but most of whose saves have been in defensively poor matches, notably the League Cup debacle?
2. Shaun Goater - who started the month on the treatment table, but finished it with a brace against the Scum?
3. Marky Gower - who has also struggled with fitness, but who seems to be showing signs that he's on his way back to the form that won him Player of the Year in 03-04?
4. Wayne Gray - who scored a stunning goal in the season curtain raiser, and whose form and energy have kept Freddy in the shade?
5. Luke Guttridge - overrated and defensive against Scunthorpe according to Wiggy, but scored a cracking goal to seal the win at Bradford (his first for the Shrimpers) and was a clear man of the match against the Scum?
6. Or someone else (and in which case, have you taken your tablets yet)?
As Founder and Chairman of SUGARS (see my sig), my vote goes to Luke Guttridge, who I believe will prove to be one of Tilly's shrewdest signings. However, you could make a case for all of them - and the sentimental so-and-so in me would be delighted to see the vote won by The Goat. How happy is he to be with the mighty Southend, and how happy are we to have him up front for us?
Get voting, folks.
