Steve Tilson is still positive that Southend can get a result at Doncaster next Friday and reach the play-off final.

The Blues chief was hoping to take an advantage into the second leg up north, but he will looking for the team to continue their impressive away form.

"We wanted to get an advantage tonight to take into the second leg, but there is still all to play for," Steve told Blues World.

"I said before the game that as long as we were still in the tie after this match I would be pleased.

"That is certainly still the case and we remain confident.

"We wanted to take a one or two goal lead into the second leg, but Doncaster might be thinking that they have already won the game.

"We have a good away record of late and I'm still positive that we can go there and get a result.

"Doncaster are a good footballing side and one of the best in our league.

"We know it's going to be tough, but we are certainly still in this game.

"I believe in the players and feel that we can go up there and get a result."
