SOUTHEND United fans have their say on Saturday's 1-0 win against Oldham Athletic.
Feels like a very important win. Dominant first half and then defended excellently in the second. Keenan and Parillon superb, and subs made at the right time too. Need to use the momentum now and grab that last play off place.

A fantastic, fighting performance against another team up there in the mix for play-offs this season. Clean sheet and a fully deserved goal for KAF The atmosphere in the North Bank today was almost deafening at times… it’s been a very long while since Roots Hall’s been THAT loud!

Really hard fought win I thought we defended really well. Leon and Keenan really gave us that energy and drive and Bonne worked his socks off. I fancy the play offs now, our run in gives us a real chance. Nobody will fancy playing us with the crowds we getting.

A massive win and a massive performance. We won the physical challenges, we dominated the mid field and we broke with intent. KAF was everywhere. Front two worked tirelessly. Thoroughly deserved win.
Superb performance, Forson & Parillon outstanding again. Bonne & Hopper ran themselves into the ground, but still no goals, and worried Hayes didn't come off his line for the ball. Ref made one mistake , luckily for us but otherwise was very good. On to Sutton with real hope now.

Best defensive display I have seen for a while as Hayes didn't have a save to make. Goodliffe had best game so far - KAF and LCP excellent. I just wish we would get more shots off when in promising positions.
@NeilWakefield20
Really solid, professional performance. KAF and LCP were fantastic. If we can find some consistency for the rest of the season then maybe, just maybe.
@DanDobisz
Fantastic atmosphere and a great advert for the National League. Great performance everybody stepped up after the disappointment of Tuesday night. Right in the mix now - exciting end to the season.
@AndrewHackling
A really gritty performance from the boys. Got the important early goal and never looked in too much trouble from that point on. Decent substitutions cancelled out any advantage that Oldham’s changes made too. On we go.
@djmikejolly
Excellent performance to a man. Everybody put in a really solid shift against a tough Oldham outfit. Keenan covered almost every blade of grass, Leon’s turn of pace when he beat the right back was something else, Bonne and Hopper didn’t stop running. We now need this every week.
@Smudgedann
Great atmosphere, Southend just didn’t let Oldham have time on the ball. Appiah Forson was everywhere.
