Quotes from the Hall: 'We were lethargic'

Bristol Rovers: As ever, players and manager have things to say after the 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers that still kept Southend United top of the table.

Phillips: 'Yeah, gutted my 30 yarder never nestled in top bins'   It was, in the end, two points lost I believe, the Pirates didn't have a shot on target until they scored, Prince Harry as well, still, we warned you to watch him!   Anyhow, still 16 games unbeaten, and still top of the league, just!   Blues Paul Sturrock said: 'It was one of our more disappointing games at home this season. We were lethargic but had the clear cut chances to win it.'   Bit hard on the lads to be honest, thought they did OK, certainly should have won.   Goalscorer Neil Harris: 'Even though I'm scored I'm massively disappointed. But that shows how far we've come as a team this season'   And it was a great goal, as would have been Mark Phillips cracker from 30 yards, looked on it's way for a while.   He said: 'Wow gutted with that draw we absolutly dominated the game..on a plus note I got through game, was in agony and now body in tatters'   Well played Mark, man of the match for S24; and as for our loanne keeper who didn't enjoy his stay at the Memorial Stadium last season he's told us.   Luke Daniels: 'Disappointing to only get a point but the unbeaten run goes on. Great reception for me from the hillbillies'   Fair enough!   Striker Liam Dickinson was just pleased to get away: 'The 1st mouthful of a beer after a game is heaven #Fosters'   We were with him until he mentioned the fizzy stuff!   So, we usually leave the last word with our excellent centre-back, but he got his say in earlier, so how about the super sub, yes, Matt bloody Harrold, you just knew he would, from a long throw as well, that's our tactic!   'I always get a bit of stick here so it's nice to score. It's all a bit of fun and I know myself I didn't play well when I was here.'   At least he has some self awareness, but how Echoman Chris Phillips can write: 'Harrold had a similar scoring record at blues to Hooper, Revell and Macdonald. Why does he get more stick than them?', is beyond me!   Official match report: www.southendunited.co.uk   Match gallery: www.southendunited.co.uk   I-player highlights: http://www.bbc.co.uk (League 2 usually about the hour mark)   Scores, reports and quotes: http://news.bbc.co.uk   Top Seven   1 Southend United 19 6 3 1 17 7 7 0 2 20 11 13 3 3 37 18 42 +19 2 Crawley Town 19 8 1 1 24 9 5 2 2 16 16 13 3 3 40 25 42 +15 3 Cheltenham Town 19 6 1 2 13 6 6 1 3 16 12 12 2 5 29 18 38 +11   4 Shrewsbury Town 19 7 2 0 16 5 4 2 4 16 14 11 4 4 32 19 37 +13 5 Burton Albion 19 6 3 1 15 10 4 2 3 17 16 10 5 4 32 26 35 +6 6 Swindon Town 19 6 2 1 20 7 4 1 5 10 9 10 3 6 30 16 33 +14 7 Gillingham 19 5 3 1 14 7 4 1 5 19 18 9 4 6 33 25 31 +8   A new striker needed thoug?
