Jamar Loza blew a last gasp chance to get Southend's play-off hopes back on track.
Norwich loanee striker Loza headed the ball into the ground and over the bar on his debut from six yards with five minutes to go as the Shrimpers stretched their winless streak to twelve games.
Assistant manager Dave Penney said:
"If we'd won 1-0 it would've been the perfect performance. We had the chances to win it."
But both teams looked low on confidence in a very poor game and Rovers face a relegation scrap. Boss John Ward admitted:
"It was a dull game. We were a little bit edgy."
*****
A short report this, but far longer than the game merited! Both teams looked like they were lacking confidence for different reasons. Southend can see their chance of going up slipping away. While Rovers seem to realise the deep trouble they are slipping towards.
I think the Gas have the right man in charge to keep them up, but Ward is certainly going to be earning his corn in the next few weeks.
