Southend United boss Steve Tilson again wants his sides' attitude to be spot on against Oldham Athletic.

Blues have lost just once this season, and are current unbeaten at Roots Hall, ahead of the Latics visit.

However, Tilson has warned his side against complacency when Dave Penney's team visit on Saturday.

"Oldham had a good win against Carlisle last week and we will have to go into the game with the right attitude because they are a good side," Steve told Blues Player.

"There are seven or eight teams in this league who you know are going to be there or thereabouts but other than them everyone else is very closely matched.

"Anyone of those side can beat any of the others and that's what we need to be wary of and make sure we show the right attitude."

Having collected seven points from the last nine on offer Southend are in good shape.

However, this season has already seen United record five draws.

"If I am honest I would rather have lost one then won one as it would mean more points," admitted Tilson.

"As Brucie said points make prizes but it is a confidence booster at the same time not to get beaten so we look towards the positives."

Blues face injury worries over Jean-Yves M'Voto (hip), Roy O'Donovan (thigh) and Johnny Herd (hip).

"They all trained on Thursday but it is a case of how they react to that now," he said.
