Southend United Preview – Can Southend stop the rot?
Unfortunately for Southend United, Saturday’s hosts seem to be fighting a losing battle as the club lurches from one crisis to the next and not least on the field where The Shrimps have managed to win just one of their last 14 matches in all competitions.
A poor sequence of results towards the end of last season saw Southend relegated from League One after losing six of their final seven matches of that disastrous campaign, and their situation hasn’t improved this season either as the home side have lost six of their first seven matches of this new term – the other was a draw.
With financial insecurity behind the scenes, Southend have lost three of their first four matches this season despite dropping down to the fourth tier, following losses against Harrogate Town, Carlisle United and Morecambe, although they did pick up their first point of the season in last weekend’s 1-1 draw away at Crawley Town.
Exeter City Preview – Can Exeter take advantage?
Exeter City are usually to be found in the top seven of League Two and so far this season, The Grecians haven’t disappointed as the visitors currently sit in 6th place in the early standings of League Two and they’ll be keen to cash in on Southend’s current plight as the west country club look to avoid the play-offs altogether this season.
After finishing in 5th place at the end of last season, Exeter suffered yet more play-off heartache as they were thrashed 4-0 in the League Two play-off final by Northampton Town, and although they made a slow start to this season (drawing 2-2 at Salford City and losing 2-0 at home to Port Vale), they’ve since bounced back.
Exeter City have won their last two matches on the trot with victories over Mansfield Town 2-1 away and last weekend’s 2-0 home win over Cambridge United and this momentum gives Exeter a great chance of another three points at Southend this Saturday.
