Southend United’s play-off push is well and truly alive after a huge Easter weekend.

Scott and Oli are back to break down two massive wins – a chaotic 3-2 victory over Braintree on Good Friday, followed by a dominant 3-0 away performance at Sutton on Easter Monday. Six points, six goals, and momentum building at exactly the right time.

With the Shrimpers now sitting in the play-off places with games in hand, we take a deep dive into the National League table and ask the big question… how far can this team go?

We also look at Southend’s attacking output this season, with Gus Scott-Morriss and Andrew Dallas both hitting 15 league goals. With 70 goals already on the board, is it finally time to drop the narrative that Southend don’t score enough?

Looking ahead, we preview the next big test at home to Solihull Moors as the promotion race intensifies.

In Part Two, we discuss the appointment of Oliver Gage as Southend United’s new Director of Football. What does the role actually mean?

What does his background in the UK and North America bring to the club? And could this be the structural change needed to take Southend forward long-term?

All that and more on Episode 46 of The Custard Splat.
