Southend missed out on gaining ground on the league leaders as Swansea comprehensively beat the
Blues 3-0 at the Liberty Stadium.
The Shrimpers stay sixth despite the result, but Nicky Bailey will face a suspension for getting
sent off.
Here are a number of reports:
BBC Sport
Sunday Mirror

Southend made it 4 league wins on the trot with prolific loan striker Leon Clarke scoring his
fourth in as many games, and the seemingly equally prolific midfielder Alan McCormack also bagging
another goal.
It was a nervy finish but the Blues held on for all three points, which moves them up into 3rd in
League One.

Tale of two halves as Blues fail to capitalise
I love football cliches - and there's no better than "a game of two halves". And the game
was certainly that. On Saturday the Blues were absolutely dreadful in the opening 45 minutes, but
then fought back to gain a draw against the league's bottom team.
Again the Blues started with purpose, giving Dean Morgan a first start, just hours after he signed
on loan from Luton Town.
No festive cheer in the north of England for Southend as three set-pieces undid the visitors.
Charlie MacDonald did score for the Blues to level the game at 1-1 but two more first half goals
effectively sealed the game in the opening 45 minutes.
Sadly longpier thinks this result confirms what most Shrimpers fans feared - that
the squad isn't good enough to mount a challenge to return to the Championship at the first time of
asking.
