Skipper Ian Goodison set them on their way to a League One victory with a close-range header following a 10th-minute corner. Terry Gornell doubled the advantage with an angled strike after the ball ran loose in the box in the 72nd minute. United's Sean Morrison was denied by a goalline clearance from Shaleum Logan and Scott Malone missed the target with a well-struck free-kick in the first half. Southend tried hard to get back into the picture in the last half hour but Alan McCormack and Sean Morrison wasted chances and home keeper Luke Daniels did well to block an Adam Barrett strike. It needed a fingertip save from Steve Mildenhall to deny Rovers sub Ian Thomas-Moore a third goal late on.
