Southend United striker Lawrie Dudfield is determined to fire the Shrimpers to victory over Darlington at Roots Hall tomorrow.

The former Hull City forward looked lively during Tuesday night's 2-0 triumph over Swindon Town, scoring the opening goal, and is again hoping to hit top form against Blues' play off rivals this weekend.

"It's a very big game for us because Darlington are only just below us in the table," said Dudfield.

"We've been dropping a few points in the league lately but the win during the week has given everyone a massive boost.

"Our confidence is high again and hopefully that will make the difference."
