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.

We break down the win against Rochdale, the frustrating defeat to Altrincham, and the draw with Woking — what it all means and where this leaves Southend heading into a huge week.

With the FA Trophy Semi Final against Southport coming up, we look ahead to one of the biggest games of the season… with a place at Wembley on the line.

Performances, patterns, and pressure — this is where it starts to matter.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The episode starts with a look back at the frustrating 1–1 draw with Gateshead, another midweek game that felt like a missed opportunity despite the Blues continuing to create chances and apply pressure.

Attention then turns to Saturday’s impressive 2–0 win over Forest Green Rovers, a result that finally saw Southend beat a team above them in the table this season and delivered a huge boost in confidence heading into the final stretch.

The lads also look ahead to a huge test against league leaders Rochdale, discussing whether the Blues can build on the Forest Green performance and prove they can compete with anyone in the division.

All that and more as Scott and OG talk all things Southend United.

With this season marking 20 years since that historic title win, Che joins us to relive the memories of one of the most successful eras in Southend United history.

We discuss:

• The dressing room culture of the Tilson promotion squad

• Playing alongside Freddy Eastwood, Mark Gower, Kevin Maher and Adam Barrett

• Che’s first professional goal in the 4–1 win over Brentford at Roots Hall

• His memorable strike in the Essex Derby against Colchester United at Layer Road

• What made the 2005/06 title-winning team so special

• The atmosphere around Roots Hall during the promotion run

For Shrimpers fans, this is a nostalgic look back at a team that delivered memories that still live long in the memory.

Are Southend becoming a second half team?

With another slow start at Roots Hall and a battling point away at Carlisle, the conversation turns to whether the Shrimpers are giving themselves too much to do in games.

We also dive into a fascinating Top 8 mini-league, analysing how promotion contenders including Rochdale, York City, Carlisle United, Boreham Wood, Forest Green, Scunthorpe and Halifax have performed against each other this season.

The numbers reveal a few uncomfortable truths about Southend’s record against the division’s strongest sides and raise an important question ahead of the run-in.

Because if Southend reach the play-offs… these are the teams they will have to beat.

Episode includes:

Truro 1-1 reaction

Carlisle 2-2 analysis

Are Southend built to be a serious cup team?

Can this squad handle the relentless March schedule?

This is the big one.

In our most in-depth episode to date, we sit down with Southend United Chairman Justin Rees for a proper, long-form conversation about the future of the football club.

With the takeover completed in 2024 and COSU now firmly in control, this episode tackles the questions supporters have been asking around sustainability, promotion, infrastructure, governance and long-term ambition.

Chapters

🧭 The Five-Year Plan

When did the clock actually start?

What does year five realistically look like?

Is promotion built into that timeline?

And what does “success” mean inside the boardroom?

🏛 COSU & Governance

How does the consortium actually operate behind the scenes?

Who leads on finance, commercial, infrastructure and football matters?

How is investment structured within COSU?

And what governance protections are in place?

⚽ Director of Football & Football Structure

Why is a Director of Football being explored?

What would that role bring?

And what would success look like in year one?

💰 Budgets, Sustainability & Financial Oversight

We discuss the wider National League budget debate (including comparisons with Forest Green Rovers) and what financial sustainability really means for Southend United.

What position did COSU inherit?

Where does the club stand financially today?

What safeguards protect potential Fossett’s Farm development funds?

This is about building properly - not just spending loudly.

⚖️ Ambition vs Sustainability: Getting The Balance Right

How do you take supporters on the journey of balancing the books after years of financial mismanagement?

Is being a sustainable National League club the platform for long-term success in the EFL?

How do you avoid repeating past mistakes while still chasing promotion?

🏗 Fossett’s Farm & The East Stand

What’s the realistic timeline?

How connected are the two projects?

What happens if timelines shift?

And practically speaking - with 7,000 average home supporters - how would matchdays function during redevelopment?

🚻 Roots Hall & Matchday Experience

From facilities to phased improvements - how does the long-term vision align with the week-to-week supporter experience?

We break down a hugely professional 3-0 win away at Brackley, another goal for Tom Hopper, and the now inevitable “GSM doing GSM things” moment - because at this point, Gus Scott-Morriss scoring is basically law.

We also address something that’s been brewing for a while. The reaction to Hopper earlier in the season, the boos, the silence, and what real support actually looks like when a player is struggling.

With Southend United back in the National League play-off places, we look at the table, the momentum building, and what this run-in could become.

We’re recording this pre Boreham Wood… you’re listening post Boreham Wood. So if we sound clever (or not), that’s on timing.

Plus, we tease our upcoming conversation with Chairman Justin Rees.

Up the Splat

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Episode 36 of The Custard Splat, Scott W and Scott B react to Southend United’s dominant 5-1 win over Morecambe... arguably the most complete National League performance of the season so far.

We break down:

• GSM and Harry Boyes proving exactly why the wingback system works (Oli, you’ll have your right of reply 👀)

• A huge moment for Tom Hopper as he scores his first goal of the 2025/26 campaign

• Why the reaction from his teammates says everything about his standing in the squad

• Whether this result finally signals momentum ahead of Brackley

Sadie is back on the pod too and she’s wearing all the hats.

Mum.

Sister.

Marketing Director.

Entrepreneur.

And now a key figure in the new HER Soccer Academy.

A fresh, confident and unapologetically loud voice in women’s football... and football in general.

We talk about the upcoming Southend United Women vs Colchester fixture in May, the new mascot drawing initiative, the growing engagement from groups of young girls, and why visibility matters.

Women don’t want preferential treatment in football.

They want equal treatment.

And here’s the thing, Sadie is just as passionate about the men’s game as she is about the women’s. This isn’t about division. It’s about growth.

And don’t forget - we’ll be sitting down with chairman Justin Rees next week. Send us your sensible questions.

In this episode of The Custard Splat, Scott and Oli react to another National League postponement, discuss the communication around waterlogged pitches, and break down the brutal reality of Southend now facing 15 games in 49 days.

What does this fixture congestion mean for the Shrimpers’ season, squad fitness, and playoff hopes? And how can the process improve for supporters?

Forest Green Rovers have published their numbers and they’re eye-watering.

£6.5 million a year on wages alone. Championship-level spending.

And here’s the mad bit…

Despite all that? They’re right there with us in the same play-off fight.

So it got us thinking:

Is throwing money at a league the smart way to get out of it?

Or is building sustainably, backing good recruitment, culture and togetherness actually the better long-term play?

We chat through:

• What £6.5m wages really means at this level
• Why budgets don’t always equal success
• The difference between “buying” promotion vs earning it
• Where Southend sit in the picture financially
• And whether patience + sustainability might actually win the race

A proper reality check on what we’re up against and why maybe we’re doing things the right way.

Because if money guaranteed promotion… the table would look very different.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode we get into what those results really mean, how fragile momentum feels right now, and whether patience is wearing thin.

The big question: if COSU are serious about promotion this season, will they back it with investment - or are we expected to make do?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On the pitch, we review the draw at York City and the impressive 4–1 win over Eastleigh, then look ahead to a brutal run of five consecutive away games, starting with Boston United.

We finish by shouting out the Southend United U18s, who take on Wrexham tonight at Roots Hall in the FA Youth Cup.

We talk through Nick Hayes’ move to Hartlepool and what that means behind the scenes, Adam Crowther’s departure to Chelmsford, and the club’s plans to appoint a new Director of Football as the next phase of the rebuild continues.

There’s also reaction to the news of Ron Martin being declared bankrupt, what (if anything) it changes for Southend United, and where the club stands now off the pitch.

And to finish on a high, we look back at positive progress in the FA Trophy and what it could mean for confidence and momentum going forward.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From Christmas results to key talking points and performances, the lads break down what we’ve learned over the busiest period of the season and where things are heading next.

This episode also features a chat with David Matthews, Marketing Director at Bath City FC, ahead of this weekend’s FA Trophy clash - offering a look at the opposition and the occasion from the other side.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Part One of this chat was previously released on Spotify and other podcast platforms, while the full interview was originally a Patreon exclusive. Today we’re opening it up for everyone.

Think of this episode as a teaser of the kind of deeper, longer-form content you can expect more of going forward with extended interviews and exclusives continuing over on Patreon.

Settle in, enjoy the full conversationvand we’ll be back soon with brand-new episodes.

Up the Shrimpers 🦐

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Scott, OG and Scott B look back on the defeat to Tamworth... asking whether it’s just a frustrating blip or a warning sign as the play-off picture tightens. Are we in danger of slipping out… and could that actually provide the spark this squad needs?

We’ll be back following the Boxing Day game when we’ll have absolutely no idea what day it is.

Merry Custard Splatmas… and up the Shrimpers 🎙️💙

Later in the show, Sadie (aka Mrs Scott W) makes an emergency loan-signing appearance on the pod, bringing with her a completely non–fact-checked quiz to put OG and Scott to the test.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We also discuss the long-awaited return of Harry Cardwell to the club. What does his comeback mean for the squad? How will he fit into the current system? And what can supporters expect from him this time around?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

And this poses the central question of the episode:

Is this genuinely our level right now - our “glass floor” - or are COSU capable of breaking beyond it without financial firepower?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But it’s not all smooth sailing. With Harry Taylor suspended and Ben Goodliffe a major doubt after a tight hamstring, Scott and OG dig into the very real possibility of a defensive crisis, and what options (if any!) Kev has left at centre-back.

Harry opens up candidly about the challenges of navigating football during a global pandemic: the isolation, the uncertainty, and the mental toll of constantly being in and out of the side. He reflects on the frustration of feeling close to establishing himself but never quite getting a consistent run and the moment of clarity that ultimately pushed him to request the termination of his contract in 2021.

From there, Harry charts a remarkable comeback story.

We explore his move to Billericay Town, where he became a record-breaker, playing every single minute of an extraordinary 52-game season across league and cup, a feat of endurance, resilience and professionalism. Harry shares the highs and lows of that campaign, how it rebuilt his confidence and why experiences like that were exactly what he wished he’d had on loan at 18 or 19.

Now donning the gloves for Cray Wanderers, Harry discusses his mission to rebuild his stock in the non-league game and prove himself all over again. He also talks passionately about his role as manager of the Ben Bradford Goalkeeping Academy, the pride he takes in coaching young keepers and how his journey, with all its twists, helps him guide the next generation.

Expect honesty, insight and a powerful look at the realities of bouncing back in football.

This is the conclusion to an unmissable two-part interview and a must-listen for anyone who believes in second chances, hard work, and the fight to carve out a career in the game.
