Southend United midfielder Michael Timlin wants the weekend's 1-1 draw with Morecambe to start another winning run for his side. Timlin: 'The important thing is we’re still in touch with the teams at the top' Shrimpers loanee Michael Timlin picked S24's man-of-the-match for another strong display in midfield during Saturday afternoon's 1-1 draw at Roots Hall saw a late own goal strike out the eventually sent off Phil Jeavon's effort in front of a bumper crowd. Now Timmers is determined to take only the positive from the shared points and see his club keep up their promotion push into the new year, when, unless another deal can be concluded, he will have to return to parent club Swindon after ten more league games in a Blue shirt Tilmlin told www.echo-news.co.uk: “We’re massively disappointed with the result but maybe it’s what we needed to kick start us again. The last kick in the teeth we had was losing at Swindon and we reacted to that with six wins in a row so maybe this will get us back on form again.” Southend now stand in second place in the latest fourth tier table, the draw allowing Crawley Town, who beat Shrewsbury Town 2-1, to regain the top position. However, the Peckham born 26-year-old says the squad have enough to worry about than that! Timlin said: “It makes no odds if we’re first or second. The important thing is we’re still in touch with the teams at the top and at least we’ve kept our unbeaten run going. One point is better than none but it was disappointing that we only seemed to react after going 1-0 down.” League Two Top Seven 1 Crawley Town 13 6 0 1 16 6 3 1 2 8 12 9 1 3 24 18 28 +6 2 Southend United 13 4 2 1 10 4 4 0 2 12 9 8 2 3 22 13 26 +9 3 Oxford United 13 2 4 0 10 5 4 1 2 8 6 6 5 2 18 11 23 +7 4 Cheltenham Town 13 4 1 1 9 4 3 1 3 11 11 7 2 4 20 15 23 +5 5 Shrewsbury Town 13 5 1 0 13 5 2 1 4 6 11 7 2 4 19 16 23 +3 6 AFC Wimbledon 13 3 1 3 14 14 4 1 1 9 7 7 2 4 23 21 23 +2 7 Morecambe 13 2 1 3 12 7 4 3 0 12 5 6 4 3 24 12 22 +12
