Southend United are represented in the latest Football League team of the week that has been selected after this week’s midweek action.
The performance by Ryan Leonard in the three nil victory over Sheffield United last Tuesday at Bramall Lane was enough to earn them a place in the side alongside the other most impressive performers in the Football League pyramid.
I think we’ll already know ourselves, and not just based on the latest performance, why Leonard was selected as part of the team but explaining the choice – the FL blurb read.
‘One of the performances of midweek came from Southend, who cheekily asked for all of their team to be selected following Tuesday night’s 3-0 win at Sheffield United. But sorry, we’re just picking one – and we’re opting for Ryan Leonard who ran the show in midfield.’
It’s always good to see the club represented in this way, and well played to Leonard for his recognition, but the most important thing about the weekend was of course the win.
Full Team:
Bartosz Bialkowski (Ipswich Town), Nathan Smith (Port Vale), Ryan Edwards (Morecambe), Carl Magnay (Hartlepool United), Brennan Dickenson (Colchester United), Isaac Hayden (Newcastle United), Ryan Leonard (Southend United), Ricky Holmes (Charlton Athletic), Tom Nichols (Peterborough United), Ched Evans (Chesterfield), Gavin Massey (Leyton Orient).
Manager Nigel Clough (Burton Albion).
