Southend United boss Steve Tilson was disappointed that his team let a one goal advantage slip to defeat against the Latics at Roots Hall. He was generally pleased with the team's performance but told the press, "We started well and we should have been out of sight by half time. We have let them score two goals from set pieces and that is frustrating. In the first half Walker should have scored, we had a goal disallowed and have also hit the post."

"We dominated at the start of the second half and a good move has led to our goal. When we scored, I thought we were going to go on from there, but we have allowed their player to score from a free header. That kind of thing is especially frustrating. We played well and should have gone on and won. I'm pleased with the performance, but obviously not the result."
