Phillips 7.5 several great saves to keep it to 1 Konsa 7.5 looked like a full-back! Fox 6.5 Thought he defended well and nearly scored a screamer Bauer 7 largely dominant Teixeira 7.5 absolute class as per Crofts 7.5 won the ball well and lost it well too, mostly in credit but not outstanding EDIT he scored?? Shit I thought it was Magennis. Extra point Ulvestad 6.5 drove us forward and looked a threat, not quite perfect but entirely adequate Chicksen 6.5 put some great balls in, defended...ok Aribo 8.5 MOM another fabulous advert for the youth team. Get more of them involved, it's clearly not that big a step up if one of them can run the show in his third game or whatever Magennis 7 crap defending for their goal, barely anything stuck...but kept going, and to such effect! Ajose 6 great free kick to Tex the highlight of another ineffectual display Botaka 8 like gaining an extra player when he came on, will be missed
Phillips: 8 - good saves, couple of poor kicks, no fault for goal. Konsa: 6.5 - better in the second half Fox: no comment Bauer: 6 - caught out a couple of times. We were wide open twice before our goal. Teixeira: 6.5 - as above but without a blatant handball Crofts: 6.5 - we lost the central battle quite badly. Ulverstad: 5.5 - honestly didn't know he was playing for about 20 mins Chicksen: 7 - really good player here. Excellent crossing. Aribo: 9 - my new hero. Magennis: 7 - worked as hard as ever with shitty passes to him. Ajose: 5 - tried and failed. Botaka: 8 - lively as anyone, he and Aribo looked great together.
Phillips: 7.5 Konsa: 6.5 - tough job, looked very isolated Fox: 6.5 - the booing was ridiculous Bauer: 6 - starting to have concerns about him Teixeira: 8 - made one of the best tackles I've seen! Crofts: 6 Ulverstad: 6.5 Chicksen: 7 Aribo: 7.5 Magennis: 6.5 Ajose: 4 Botaka: 6

Today's squad/team is exactly what that old Cunt Shitbag wants. Loads of youngsters giving it a go.
Phillips: 7 Improving . Will be happier when Rudd is fit because I fear him getting injured and Decs will provide good competition . Konsa 6 Not sure he is a right back Fox: 5 Looked like a player playing his last game before a move . Had a good shot though . Bauer: 6 Fairly solid Teixeira 6 As per Bauer Crofts: 6 Gave him a par score because of a well taken goal . These moments change games .He gives the ball away too much for my liking Ulverstead 6 fairly inventive Chicksen 7 I like him , but more as a left back . Maybe a ready made replacement for Fox . Aribo 8 MOTM . Left footed as well . Particularly like his corners . Maybe Jacko can become an impact sub rather than a starter now. Maginess 6 Kept going against a well marshalled Southend defence by Anton Ferdinand Ajose 5 Not a winger in my view Botaka 7 Made an impact . However , that is what he is good at . Not so impressed when he has started .
Ahearne-Grant Pleasantly surprised that he made a difference . Maybe he should feature more . Umerah Did all that was asked of him .
Phillips: 7 - couple of good routine saves, looks really one footed Konsa: 6 - not a right back but got better second half Fox: 6 - not as bad as most make out, but not great either Bauer: 7 - solid Teixeira: 7.5 - unlucky not to score Crofts: 6.5 some wayward passing, extra .5 for the goal Ulverstad: 7 - did most things well Chicksen: 7 - average untill moved to left back, has to start there now Aribo: 8 - great game, will only improve, hope people lay off him when the inevitable bad game happens Magennis: 7 - nothing really came off for him today, but can't fault the guys work ethic Ajose: 6 - played out of position and it showed Botaka: 7 - I like him, looked a threat when he came on
Phillips: 8 - good saves, looked a good keeper Konsa: 7 - better in the second half Fox: 7 - Did ok imo Bauer: 7 - no real mistakes Teixeira 7 - as above Crofts: 6 - Passed poorly at times. Ulverstad: 5.5 - positioning very poor but worked hard. Chicksen: 7 - Played ok Aribo: 9 - Impressive Magennis: 7 - worked as hard but poor first touch. Ajose: 5 - tried and failed. Botaka: 8 - good as a sub.
KR: - Did ok with subs but team still poor at starting a game.
Phillips 8 - excellent and kicking good Konsa: 4 - thought he was poor today Fox: 6.5 - Bauer: 6 Teixeira:6.5 Crofts: 5 - we will never dominate a game with him there; although point for the goal Ulverstad: 6 Chicksen: 6.5 Aribo: 7.5 Magennis: 6.5 - overall excellent, but was at fault for their goal, and why did he shoot from 25 yards rather than the simple ball to Botaka Ajose: 5.5 - poor, but I thought he was goal scorer so why play him so he is never near their goal! Botaka:7.5 - excellent when he came on
Phillips: 8 – kept us in the game with some excellent saves Konsa: 6 – still puzzling to see him at right-back, but looked a bit more comfortable in the second half Bauer: 6 – tends to be an asset advancing with the ball, but sloppy today, and shaky defensively Teixeira: 7 – so much better than he was against Millwall Fox: 5 – poor again; nothing going right for him at the moment, unfortunately Ajose: 5 – not his fault he was put out wide, but he made virtually no impact Aribo: 8.5 – what an exciting talent! Ulvestad: 6 – improved after half-time Crofts: 7 – caught out a couple of times, but got stuck in, made some important interventions and, after Aribo, was possibly the player we saw most of Chicksen: 7 – looked better at LB, but not bad in midfield either Magennis: 6.5 – not much came off for most of the game, but he kept running and threatened towards the end
Subs: Botaka: 7 – strange not to start him; direct, wanted the ball, and helped our attack in the last few minutes KAG: n/a Umerah: n/a
Phillips: 7.5 kept us in the game Konsa: 6 better CB than RB Fox: 4 poor again Bauer: 5 not his best game Teixeira:6 solid Crofts: 4 added extra point for goal. won a few tackles then gave the ball back to them straight afterwards Ulverstad: 6 made some decent passes and supporting runs Chicksen: 5 looked lost 1st half better 2nd half Aribo: 8.5 another great youth product placed in the shop window Magennis: 7 worked hard but little help from rest of team Ajose: 4 see above Botaka: 5.5 looked a threat sometimes but drifts in and out of the game

Aribo 8 MOTM . Left footed as well . Particularly like his corners . Maybe Jacko can become an impact sub rather than a starter now.
Maginess 6 Kept going against a well marshalled Southend defence by Anton Ferdinand
