SIMON WEAVER has told his Harrogate heroes to keep going for the jugular.

The Football League’s newest arrivals went straight to the top of the table with this shock thrashing.
Ja c k Mul d o o n sc ored tw ice as
Southend fell apart at Roots Hall, with
Lloyd Kerry (right) and Aaron Martin also on target.
The Sulphurites take on West Brom in the EFL Cup on
Wednesday i n a game that will be televised live on Sky.
And former Lincoln defender Weaver
(inset), whose dad
Irving is chairman, is determined not to be a one-hit wonder.
The Harrogate boss said: “We have got something to prove at this level because it is new to us.
“There are a lot of shouts at this minute that it’s ‘great for you to be here’, but we are not here just to be ‘nice Harrogate Town’.
“We will only have a good experience if we win.
“I want to have that winning mindset and every single game go for the j jugular!”
So Southend are a club in disarray following r relegation last season and Mark Molesley is the man trying desperately to stop t the rot.
The ex-bournemouth player left We y m o u t h to replace Sol Campbell, but has inherited a side that seems resigned to losing.
Mol e sl e y wa s cautioned by referee Anthony Coggins for complaining about the third goal, which was given d e spit e a Shrimpers defender being down in the box with a head injury.
The Southend manager said: “The referee has apologised to me. Our centre-half has a serious head injury and he’s lying down for a good 30 seconds and the ball hasn’t stopped.”
