Steve Tilson admitted that Southend United will look back on several missed chances to have got something out of the game following a 1-0 defeat at home to Yeovil.

The Blues chief saw his team spurn a number of opportunities, particularly after the break, as he reflected on a lack of a cutting edge needed in the final third.

"It was a frustrating afternoon, but we had the chances to get something from this game," said Steve.

"Yeovil scored early on, but they haven't really tested us from that point.

"We needed to show more of an edge in attack and unfortunately, we just haven't been clinical enough in front of goal.

"Their goalkeeper has made a number of goal saves and it is a disappointing day for us.

"Yeovil had to play most of the second half with 10 men, but I'm not sure if that helped us.

"They played with a lot of men behind the ball and it became hard to break them down.

"We had a good result at Leyton Orient on Tuesday night and we were looking to build on that today, but conceding after just six minutes is never going to help.

"We have a very tough game at Leeds on Tuesday night, but we have to go there positive that we can get something out of the match."
