Show notes
Phil opens with a tribute to former Southend player James Walker, who died aged 38. Sean joins Phil and Chris while Charlie is away, before a short football quiz.
The panel reviews the 1-1 draw at Eastleigh, including Colclough's cross for Omochere and the late equaliser. Missed chances and communication at the back remain concerns, with illness also affecting the squad. The discussion then turns to the gap to Boreham Wood at the top.
Southend have drawn Berkhamsted at Roots Hall in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup. The panel considers rotation and the need to respect the opposition. There is also an Academy update, including progress on penalties in the FA Youth Cup and a 6-2 under-17 win over Watford.
The Ladies beat Hutton 2-0 following Nick Sheldrick's departure, with Dan Mann in interim charge. The panel welcomes the win and wishes Sheldrick well.
Against Fylde, Cardwell's press helps create Oldaker's early opener. Goodliffe's own goal prompts a debate about the backpass and Sims' positioning, before the panel works through Colclough's reply and Goodliffe's goal at the other end. Daley-Campbell is their man of the match; Hartigan's protection of the defence gives Oldaker more freedom. Fylde's missed chances and Southend's second-half drop in energy temper the reaction to a better performance.
Boston United away is next after their 6-0 defeat at Yeovil. The panel expects Southend to win but considers the home side's possible response. Sean predicts a 4-0 Southend win, Phil goes for 3-0 and Chris calls 4-1. Charlie's prediction is still to come.
