VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Southend manager Paul Sturrock told BBC Essex:
"In one way I'm delighted, but in another way we nearly shot ourselves in the foot.
"If we'd been more clinical in the first half we could have been 3-1 or 4-1 up. The chances we missed were very, very easy ones as well.
"At least the boys battled and worked their tails off and give us everything they've got."
