Southend did a job on us today. V little between the sides, we probably played the better football in atrocious conditions, but had to work hard to create a clear chance. When we did, they defended really well, blocking and spoiling. When they could, Southend got shots off and looked to pick up rebounds in the box - first two goals came in this way. We had large amounts of possession 2nd half but didn't properly test their keeper. Plus they were good at the darker arts - Hughesy got a nasty challenge in the back that eventually saw him off. Not the best day at the office, but happened to meet a crafty, well-drilled side who made the conditions work for them.
