POST-MATCH REACTION
Player/coach at Southend United Graham Coughlan told BBC Essex:
"I feel if we played with a bit more tempo and urgency we may have won out. But it was a typical end of season game, both teams had little to play for apart from pride.
"You could see at the end, they were delighted with the points, all-in-all it was a fair result.
"We took our foot off the pedal and they got themselves back into the game."
Burton manager Paul Peschisiolido told BBC Radio Derby:
"I'm relieved. It's been a long three months, when you consider we've played 27 games in three months, that's more than half a season, that's some going.
"The lads have given me everything they've got and there's a very happy dressing room right now, me included.
"We've had a good run, these last five games we've performed fantastically well against all the odds."
