Blues boss Paul Sturrock has urged Southend fans to be patient over the acquision of a new striker.
The 53-year-old hinted in an interview following the Morecambe game that Southend could not compete financially with fellow League Two sides.
And although he is attempting to try and bring in a new forward player, he has admitted that his quest is “difficult”.
Many fans are eager to see a new forward player at the club.
However, it is the defence that has come in for criticism in recent weeks following the 3-2 home defeat against Morecambe and the 2-1 reverse at Northampton.
