VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Southend manager Paul Sturrock told BBC Essex:
"We've very disappointed, with having an hour of being able to play against 10 men.
"(We had) several chances, I thought their goalie had an excellent performance.
"We put a reasonable performance in, it was just our final finish that let us down."
