Good away following
Southend are bringing more than 600 fans to the SMH today. Fair play to the Shrimpers, they always travel in good numbers.
Southend boss Kevin Maher on Town:
“They’re in unbelievable form and the numbers they’re putting up are incredible. It’s a great credit to them and the job that Paul Cook and his staff have done.
“Their home form tells you that they’re rolling everyone over at the moment, but there’s nothing to fear in football and I’m sure they’ll be wary of us as well.
"Hopefully it makes for a good game with two teams that both go out trying to win football matches.”
