The doom and gloom at Southend continued at the weekend, when United lost 2-0 at Solihull Moors to extend their losing streak to four matches in a row.
As mentioned above, the Shrimpers have managed just one win all season, which arrived on the opening day at King's Lynn Town, and have picked up just two points in seven games since.
As a result, despite dropping down into the National League following relegation from League Two last campaign, Phil Brown's side find themselves in the relegation places heading into Tuesday's fixture.
To add to the misery within the club at the moment, there were further protests and disagreements last time out involving the club chairman and the travelling supporters at King's Lynn, with fans unhappy at the running of the club for a number of years.
The manager will be hoping his troubled side can remain focused on the difficult task at hand when they welcome Eastleigh in midweek, and come away with a victory to play a small part in lifting the dark clouds that have been hanging over the club for a number of years.
Meanwhile, visitors Eastleigh find themselves in the middle of a small revival after a slow start to the new campaign.
The Spitfires began with just two points from their opening four fixtures, but since then have lost just once in their next four, to lift them to 15th in the table.
After missing out on a playoff place by just three points in 2020-21, Ben Strevens's men will be looking for a positive result on Tuesday to continue their climb back up the National League.
