Will we even miss Copps that much? For large periods of last season he was woeful and only improved to be one of our better players in the closing weeks of the campaign. Its the same with Stock too.
Oster wouldn't had been booed if he put in a shift and went in for a challenge every now and again.
b*llocks was Oster the only play who looked comfortable to receive the ball. He near enough shit himself when the ball came anywhere near him, falling on his arse half the time isn't looking comfortable to me.
Im a huge fan of Copps, but can anyone deny that Bennett wont be better given the same amount of game time Copps had in his early career? Lets not forget that Copps took a good few seasons in League one, it wasn't all 'Southend' and stand out player from the start.And while the crop of players we've had punched us above our weight into the championship, we all knew a new generation was needed and perhaps with this generation lessons can be learned with contracts, tactics (namely a need for a versatile team where plan B CAN exist) and when the right time is to sell/let them go?Its sad to see the SOD team go, but I for one am looking forward to seeing the Saunders team in action! (and hope he'll take cups reasonably serious! Could inject the positivity the team so badly needs early on)
