Southend United form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League Two this season. Southend United, who have the fewest scored goals (23) in League Two, have only managed 4 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses from their games here at Roots Hall. With eight home League Two games in a row without a win, the Southend United fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Barrow game long ago, can be stopped today.

Southend are confident in defense, having played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Happy days for Southend in their previous game, a League Two match away at Harrogate Town (placed 15th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Walsall that ended 0-0.

The manager M. Molesley will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Morecambe in only three days.

Southend have scored 13 league goals here from 19 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Southend's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 25 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
