No doubt chubbyman will let us know

I think the ref suffered from little man syndrome,he was terrible as was the linesman near the away end, but the other linesman had a cracking game(for us anyway)As for the incident just before the goal it was diabolical refereeing,one of Southends players was down and the ball was played half way down their half hitting one of their players and going out for a Stanley throw in.The whistle was blown as the ball went out and the ref brought play back and wanted Southend to play the ball to Stanley but they insisted on the bounce just outside our box and the ref went along ,they won the bounce and scored....it was their first and only effort on goal until once more in injury time.The stats say we had 1 shot on target it was 4 ...we had 7 corners to 3.. 57% possession and they conceded 4 more fouls than us....Just to mention Aldred was huge today...McCarten had two chances in the short time he was on ...on from a sharp angle close in and their keeper pulled off a great save...there is no doubt Southend will feel they gained 3 points they didn't deserve....

That's more or less how I saw it too. Both keepers had excellent games.

Stanley denied a stonewall penalty in the first half according to the Shrimpers forum.

I cannot say as it was awkward viewing where we sat.

Almost safe but not quite. Cashy Wycombe played Northampton last week. Can only go down if Wycombe and Bristol draw then both win their last game whilst we lose both by a combined total of five goals. Also needs Northampton to win their last two and Morecambe and Exeter to both win one.
