He said: "What the result will also do, of course, is give us massive confidence going into tomorrow's game. The players can only be lifted by what happened at Southend and they will be in a good frame of mind to take on Scunthorpe.
"It won't be easy - Scunthorpe are a threat and very well organised. But our level of performance was excellent on Saturday and I see no reason why we can't carry that on."
