Still, five consequtive wins and in the hat for the last eight of the JPT Southern Section, the draw on Sky Sport's Soccer AM Saturday morning, and only three steps from Wembley!
Speaking to Echoman Chris Phillips after the game Blues boss Paul Sturrock said: 'I'm very pleased by the way the players battled through. We did well in difficult circumstances and our fans were fantastic'
Quite true, with getting up to a half of the gate coming from the south-east of Essex, 915 in an attendence of 2,393.
Meanwhile, brilliant brace goalscorer Ryan Hall, they were both sublime finishes, said: 'It was great to get two goals but I'm not too sure what happened with the penalty. Main thing was we won.'
Oh we're forgive you Ryan, who spent time on loan with the Daggers back in 2008, who went on to say to www.echo-news.co.uk: "Hopefully overall I’ve shown the manager what I can do and I can stay in the side for Saturday’s game at Crewe now.”
Don't envy Luggy that choice, who would you drop, if anyone?
Still waiting on something from Neil Harris, that's three in three now for the former Millwall scoring legend who is starting to find his feet in a Shrimpers shirt, even when coming on a second half substitute for injured Anthony Grant whose right foot was seen in a protective boot after the game, no news there as well.
Still, the game did well to start on time as there was a mad rush for midfielder Jean-Paul Kalala and left-back peter Gilbert to get to the ground as they were caught in traffic!
Gilbert said: 'JP had to become a rally driver to get us there in time. It took us 3 hours from Southend, but thankfully we got the result.'
Blimey, according to the AA route planner, it should take less than an hour!
Finally, Phillips himself requested: 'Does anyone know the fan who was hit by Neil Harris' shot in the warm up yesterday? Keen to do a story about Neil giving them a shirt.'
Now that is worth a follow-up, a shirt from the Bomber, get in touch!
