Southend United are heading back to Wembley after a huge 3-1 win over Southport in the FA Trophy Semi-Final, and we break it all down on this episode of The Custard Splat.
We react to Southend United’s dominant performance at Southport, analyse the key moments, standout players and what this result means ahead of the FA Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium.
Attention then turns to the National League playoff race, as Southend United secured a crucial 2-1 win over Yeovil Town to strengthen their position in the playoff places. With a 3-point cushion and two games in hand, we assess Southend’s chances of promotion and whether Kevin Maher’s side are peaking at the perfect time.
We also preview a massive Easter weekend with fixtures against Braintree Town and Sutton United, two huge games that could define Southend United’s season.
In the second half of the podcast, we discuss the major club restructure announced by Southend United, including CEO Tom Lawrence stepping down at the end of the season. We break down the new leadership structure, including the introduction of a Director of Football and General Manager, and what it means for the future of the football club.
We also cover the departures of John Still and Jason Demetriou, and discuss how the new football structure could shape recruitment, performance and long-term success at Southend United.
This is a huge moment for Southend United on and off the pitch, with Wembley on the horizon and a National League playoff push building momentum.
