Barrett down about Shrimpers slump

The Shrimpers suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Exeter on Saturday and ahead of the busy Christmas period, Barrett told the Southend Echo of his frustrations at how things are going."We need to be mentally stronger, more ruthless and be able to break teams down," he said."It's really disappointing because I think their (Exeter's) goal could have been avoided and we also created quite a lot of chances."I thought we dominated the second half at times and to come away losing is again quite hard to take and we're all very down about it."
