My pal was at Southend's match at the weekend, once again. Her husband chose a day out in the British Museum instead.
The game was pretty dire and Southend were, apparently, largely outplayed. They didn't take the lead until after they had had a man sent off. I am led to believe that Morecambe, who are Southend's final opponents of the scheduled league matches, are a big, robust team who will give Southend a particularly hard time. The expectation is, therefore, that Bury will win and Southend will lose, forcing them back into the play-offs.
