Tonight was absolutely superb, on par with the first two. Last week episode reminded me alot of Band Of Brothers in the last few episodes after they took Foy in Belgium.
I thought when Alan first came here, he was overweight. Looked slow on the ball, never really gave us anything and just didn't look like he settle down here. But when Gus came in he has changed dramatically, he looks settled now he is living down here. He lost alot of weight and is looking like...
His movement and looking for space is very good, but needs to work on his body strength to many times he holds the ball up and loses it. I'm not sure about permanent signing, because can he be a 25+ goal scorer to get us promoted next season? I honestly don't think so.
As a follower of Dutch Football, the league is very good standard and for Mclaren to win the Dutch title would be superb feat in itself. I really hope they do it, because he deserves some luck.
I still think he needs a few games to get throughly match fit, but I honestly don't think he gives us anything like the others do in Navarro, Dicker and Hendrie. I think £2.5 million was a waste of money.
I hope they are proud of themselves, because they'll not be seeing the first game at Falmer. I know we've got abit of a past with Southend, but this aint the 1980's anymore.
