Southend 0 Preston 0

Southend were brought back

down to earth as the struggle to

find a league win continued

against high-flying Preston.

Hoping to build on their Carling

Cup heroics, Southend proved

unable to stop their winless league

run reaching 13 games.

Manager Steve Tilson said: "The

biggest plus was that we kept a

clean sheet for the second game

and if you do that you give

yourself a platform to build on."

Efe Sodje went close for Southend

but his shot was headed off the line

by Matty Hill, while midweek

hero Freddy Eastwood hit the bar.
