Exeter 2 : 2 Colchester United
I'm happy with a point, although it's always disapointing to let go of a lead so late into the game. Pleased for Cousins in goal, didn't sound like he did too much wrong but he'll be disapointed to have to pick the ball out of the net twice.
Exeter are fast becoming our 'bogey' team so it's good to go there and come back with a point, it sounded like we had chances to win all three points mind you.

Southend United 1 : 1 Stockport County
A game which we should've won after sustained spells of pressure ended in relief to get a point after Blair Sturrock's last-gasp equaliser. Southend dominated for most of the match but lacked quality in the final third. Barry Corr does well as a targetman but he could've scored a hat-trick today and needs someone alongside him to play off him rather than playing on his own. Stockport threatened occasionally on the counter-attack, with Blues' goalkeeper Glen Morris impressing on his debut, and took the lead in controversial fashion. I'm not entirely sure what happened but I understand the linesman had his flag up for offside when George Donnely smashed the ball home. The goal infuriated the home side and manager Paul Sturrock was sent to the stands in his first competitive game. But it was the boss' son who saved the day in the 95th minute when he bundled home a Zaaboub corner.
Overall, a game lacking in quality, something Southend fans will have to get used to this season, but not lacking in talking points and not a bad peformance from our almost completely new team (only 2 of the starting XI played in the home game against Stockport at the end of last season). A mixed day for the Sturrock family.
