Southend manager's view
Last updated : 27 September 2009 By The Chairman
Blues boss Steve Tilson told the official site after the game, "We never got going today. It was a lackluster performance and we didn't do enough to win the game. We didn't pass the ball well enough and each man for himself wasn't up for it. I haven't seen the penalty for their goal, but being at home I expected us to be more creative. It was a great ball from Freedman at the end for Laurent and he has got to score, it's as a simple as that."
"This is a tight league and apart from Leeds and Charlton everyone is beating each other and I think it will stay the same all year. We have the opportunity to bounce back in three days time at Brentford. Our attitude will have to be spot on and if it is, then we will be OK."
