Southend United centre back Adam Barrett claimed the Shrimpers had suffered another undeserved defeat following Friday night's 2-1 reverse at table-topping Bristol Rovers.

Barrett appeared to have secured the Seasiders a spirited share of the spoils with a fine second half header against his former side.
But the 24-year-old was left stunned just four minutes from time when James Hunt volleyed home a 12-yard shot to leave Blues a lowly 23rd in the League Two standings.
"I'm very disappointed and I just can't believe we're coming away from a ground again with no points," Barrett said.
"We dominated the play, looked quite comfortable and deserved at least a point for sure.
"We were putting them under a lot of pressure and you could hear that their fans were starting to turn on them a bit.
"We looked like we were going to win at one stage so to lose it to a late goal was very hard to take."
