Easton: 'It's frustrating because before Saturday's hiccup we looked like we'd found a bit of form'
Blues injured skipper Craig Easton has been speaking about the Shrimpers travelling support, recent matches that have not gone too well, and when he might return to the side. Easton: 'We had a great support behind us at the b2net stadium' Southend United midfielder and club captain Craig Easton has been stuck on the sidelines in recent weeks but has continued passing on his thoughts to the Shrimpers e-newsletter Blues Insider.Easton said: "We had a great support behind us at the b2net stadium for the game against Chesterfield two weeks ago and anyone I have spoken to who made the long trip agrees we were unlucky not to come away with all three points. Apart from the first twenty minutes or so I felt we looked like the team more likely to score and although very disappointed, we should take a lot of confidence from playing so well against a side that are now top of the table."In contrast the disappointing display against Crewe at the weekend probably delivered a fair result in that I don't think we did enough to win the game. Granty had a shot blocked on the line and we should've had a penalty when Louis Soares was taken down in the first half. Had we got the rub of the green in one of these two instances the outcome might've been different but if we're being honest the performance was well below the standard set the week before.It's frustrating because we're only four points off the play-off places and before Saturdays hiccup we looked like we had found a bit of form. Our task this week has been to get back to playing consistently at the level we expect from ourselves and try not to drop too far below that even on a bad day.I've still been struggling a bit with my calf, disappointingly having a bit of a setback last week after pushing on with my rehab. It's settled down quickly and although it's been longer than I expected after actually having been ahead of schedule at one point, it shouldn't be too long until I'm back training with the lads.
