Basically we’d have to lose the last five by a cricket score for Southend to finish above us on GD

Not entirely true. The goal difference is 16 in our favour I think. We lose our last 4 games, we’re likely to lose another 5-6 goals in goal difference. If Southend win their last 3, they’re likely to make up 5-6 goals in doing so. Suddenly, not such a wide margin.
