Southend United skipper Craig Easton on Chesterfield defeat before Rotherham United

Southend United skipper Craig Easton can't work out how his side keep making poor defensive errors early on at Roots Hall that leave them as good as beaten by half-time. Easton: '2nd game in a row we've lost the match inside the opening 15 minutes'Actually it was the first five against Cheltenham last Monday! Poor old Captain Craig, he did his best to bring the Shrimpers back into the 3-2 defeat at home to the league's top team Chesterfield, now clear by five points, with an absolute cracker in the second half.Then again it was his daft tackle that gave away the penalty that set the Spireites off in a winning direction in the first, followed by boy v man on the half-way line as all the centre-backs went up for a free-kick. Boy, Johnny Herd, lost.So there's a start Craig, but to be fair, here's the man himself.Easton told www.echo-news.co.uk: "It's the second game in a row that we've lost the match inside the opening 15 minutes or so and we have to be doing better. We need to focus more, be tighter and do our jobs we've been given much better right from the start of the match. It's hard to explain why it's happening and although we did get better in the second half we just gave ourselves too much to do again."
