Southend UNITED 1 Rochdale 2

A brilliant almost 8k crowd saw the Mighty Shrimpers fall to a last minute goal but it cannot be understated what a fantastic achievement it is to finish 9th. From minus seven points to sniffing the playoffs, what a great team and what a great management team.

First half and it’s a super start with Gus Scott Morris slotting home yet another Jack Bridge assist on 8mins. Danny Waldron missed a good chance moments later and Jack hits just over. Dale have a chance with Hayes Travel hitting the bar before a mistake in defence lets him through to shoot past Collin right on halfo, 1-1.

Second half and Wes Fonguck and Noor Husin are on after an hour with Noor shooting over and Wes fluffing a shot six yards out. A few corners pile on pressure but with Blues committing players forward the dangerous Rodney Trots thru on 91 mins to slot past Collin for a jammy victory.

Aldershot lose but Halifax win 3-0 to clinch the last playoff spot.
