All credit to the Southend United players and staff. They can’t control anything else that’s going on but they’re doing their job on the pitch ⚽️
An excellent second half from Southend United, and Jack Bridge in particular. Blues were fully deserving of the three points in the 2-0 win over York. Reaction

Nick has been a massive support to me and has been a joy to work alongside.
I’ll miss him a lot ⚽️
FYI -
After 35 years of reporting from and commentating on Southend United matches, I’ve decided to step down from the role at the end of this season.
Although this is entirely my decision, I shall miss commentating on the Blues' matches terribly.
