Southend United's 2025 National League campaign concluded with a solid 6th-place finish, a position they will look to build upon when the new season begins. The club amassed 81 points from 46 games, winning 23, drawing 12, and losing 11.
Southend's final league position was underpinned by a potent attack and a resilient defence. They scored 83 goals across the season while conceding 47, giving them a healthy goal difference of +36. Their recent form at the end of the campaign, recorded as WLWWD, showed a team capable of picking up points consistently.
