Southend United striker Wayne Gray is confident the Shrimpers can sustain a push for promotion this season.

Steve Tilson's side currently sit sixth in the League table, but the in-form forward is expecting a tough few weeks for the Seasiders.

"I think we have four games coming up in about nine days and if we can keep doing well during that important period then we have a good chance," said the frontman.

"The League is very tight so a lot could change in a very short space of time, but we've been doing well and got a good result at Bury at the weekend."
