Swindon Town 0-1 Southend United

Southend gained another vital three points on their travels and extended their unbeaten run to 8 games. Simon Francis' 18th minute deflected goal was enough to beat their mid-table opponents at the County Ground.

The Blues remain 5th in the table, just a point behind Nottingham Forest, but - most importantly - Southend now have a three point buffer between themselves and 7th place, thanks to results going in their favour.
