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.”
