Amos-4 Nice f****** kicking Dijksteel-6.5 MOM I actually thought he stuck into a few tackles quite well and didn't get bullied off the ball DaSilva-5 Meh Sarr-4 Didn't seem to want to touch the ball, seemed to annoy Amos because of it Konsa-5 He did ok Kashi-3 Think he kicked up one long ball Aribo-6 Made a few good runs Holmes-5 Yeah he's fast and makes good move but his selfishness frustrates me. There were a few times where if he had looked up, he could have found KAG in the box, instead took it on himself. It's a team game Ricky Reeves-5 Fine goal, his set pieces need work KAG-5 A couple chances, could have scored in the 2nd half Magennis-4 Tried jumping over everyone and gave away too many fouls because of it. Clumsy today Lennon-5 Did ok for what I did see of him
Amos 5.5 not so commanding Dijksteel 5 got rinsed by their left side and made dreadful error for 3rd goal Da Silva 6 did ok down the left Sarr 6 wasn't the problem today Konsa 5 think he got outjumped for the opening goal and lost it plenty Kashi 4 hell's happened to him Aribo 5 not much happened for him Holmes 5.5 did well occasionally but awful delivery and kept sodding shooting when he was never going to score Reeves 6.5 MOM everything good looked like happening through him KAG 4 urrrrrgh Magennis 5.5 got an assist, i guess that's something Lennon 6 proper english centre back, loves a foul, loves assisting their 3rd goal with a poor clearing header (i think), actually didn't look *too* bad but isn't the answer imo
these are p much the worst marks i've ever handed out i think? jesus
Amos 5 didn't run his area at all Dijksteel 5 Think he was at fault for the 3rd, looked out of his depth at times, but others looked good! Da Silva 6.5 did OK not a lot wrong Sarr 5 looked a liability a few times, considering his size he should be more commanding Konsa 5 average at CB, Lennon 2nd half was much better Kashi 3 he's given up, doesn't want to be here, expect to hear of changing room bust ups. Aribo 5 average Holmes 5 someone teach him when to pass and not shoot, i.e. when you are within 2ft of the byline. Reeves 6 cool finish, but still not sure where his role within the team is. KAG 4 ho hum....... Magennis 4, for his size he does;t win enough balls, when he does he invariably gives away a foul, poor for a while now. He's making Novak look quality....... Lennon 6.5 did OK when he came on, more than one of our attacking stages came from him picking out a decent pass.
Amos: 6* - Because of the camera angle and quality it was hard for me to tell how much he was at fault for their second, but it didn't look good. I reserve the right to change rating after seeing the replays of the goals.
Dijksteel: 6.5 - All of their attacks came down his side and he battled two good wingers for this level and two good center forwards. All of my issues with him were his positioning. At times he got too tight, at times he got too narrow. He looked his best, and I don't think this is a coincidence, when he stepped into the midfield, broke up play, and looked to distribute. I am looking forward to seeing him play in his natural defensive midfield position.,
Da Silva: 7.5 - How many of their attacks came down his side? Not many. When the ball turns over he tries to put pressure on it.
Sarr: 7 - An extra half point for playing on his weaker side in the second half with a 20-year-old defensive midfielder at right back next to him and still looking decent. That said I can already feel the scapegoatism coming on to him.
Konsa: 6 - Looked like he got outjumped for their first and then struggled to get in the game in the second half. Had his usual 2-3 bursting runs through midfield. Not his day.
Kashi: 5 - Suspect he might have been rushed back too soon. He wasn't good, and he wasn't helped by a shit pitch that kept tearing up and the fact that Southend basically played lump it forward to bipass the midfield then press our defense in the first half.
Aribo: 6 - Struggled to get in the game.
Holmes: 5.5 - There's a reason he's not playing at a higher level. Okay, there are 2-3, the first two being his crossing is erratic and he's not quite quick enough. But the third, and the one on display today, was his decision making. Passing is always the last thing he looks to do, after trying to take his man on, trying to work a shot, then sometimes trying to take his man on again, then looks to get rid of it. As a result attacking move that he helps to create lose momentum and/or break down.
Reeves: 7 - Everything good came when he got his foot on the ball in the final third. Took his goal well. The problem is getting him the ball in the final third.
KAG: 6.5 - Thought he did *alright* leading the line. But his head seemed to drop after that miss. Still an improvement on his form earlier in the season. I want to see his miss again, was hard to see on the camera angle.
Magennis: 6.5 - He actually won his fair share of headers today and often at least tried to direct them to teammates. He gives away a lot of fouls though. Something Best did that I really liked was when he knew he couldn't win the ball he'd turn and face the defender and look for seconds. If Josh could learn that it would be a huge help.
Lennon: 5 - Harry Lennon is summed up for me by his booking. Inside the opposition half, the ball goes to feet of Simon Cox who has his back to the (60 yards away) opposition goal and Lennon tries to run through him, getting himself booked. It was a combination of being overly aggressive and getting sucked out of position.
Amos 6 - did ok Dijksteel 6 - not as good as last Saturday & don't think he's a RB Da Silva 7 - steady as ever Sarr 5.5 - like a proverbial curates egg Konsa 5.5 - slowly being dragged down to League 1 level Kashi 4 - obviously not fit & gave away the ball as usual Aribo 6.5 - one of the better players on show Holmes 7.5 - best players by far - no point of him passing to anyone else as they will only f**k it up. Do it yourself son. Reeves 6 - better than of late. Still a prat even if he did score a decent goal. KAG 6 - at least he tried Magennis 4.5 - Scottish League 1 is his level Lennon 6 - should start when fully fit.
Amos 5 Dijksteel 6 Da Silva 6.5 Sarr 5 Konsa 7.5 MoM for playing two positions. Kashi 3 Aribo 5.5 Holmes 6 Reeves 6 (gets an extra one for the goal) KAG 5 Magennis 5 Lennon 6
I mean, you give Dijksteel 7.5. Watch the video. He fucks up for TWO of the goals. He showed some neat footwork and pace at times but he fucked up twice. Sarr wasn't at fault for any of the goals, however.
Goal 1: Dijksteel cackhandedly shoulders a high deflected shot towards his own goal, Konsa could head it over the bar for a corner but decides he wants an assist instead
Goal 2: Aribo loses his man, Amos a bit slow to get across
Goal 3: Dijksteel somehow misses the ball and lets his man get to the byline, JDS beaten in the air (as you'd expect), then Lennon decides that hey, Ezri's had an assist, I'd better get myself one as well. Meanwhile, Konsa himself is slow to follow in Cox
Sarr maybe could have anticipated the first goal a bit better but really who's going to anticipate two of your own team heading/shouldering the ball in completely the wrong direction? Apart from that he maybe misplaced one pass and missed one header. 2 out of 10? Come the fuck on.

Amos 6 - got some stick but dont think he could do much about either goals, needs to command area more Dijksteel 4.5, seems harsh but was struggling especially first half Da Silva 6.5 did well going forward dont think sid much wrong. Sarr 5.5- very poor first half not as commanding in the air and on the ball not comfortable today. Off day like everyone really Konsa 5- personally looked worse then sarr, lacked any leadership today Kashi- 5 another poor show possibly not fully fit? Aribo 5.5 cant think of him contributing much furst half and a bystander Holmes 7- only one trying anything first half and our main threat, but teams know this so gets failed or marked out Reeves- 6 not a winger doesnt close enough and when he does he doesnt put a foot in. Got the goal and looks ok on the ball personally think we need to play him CAM KAG 6, lightweight, a bit of effort but pretty much invisible first half. Needs a loan Magennis 5, would be lower but 2nd half actually won a couple of headers and got more involved. Not a main striker, lazy, feel if he isnt in the mood he just doesnt bother Lennon 7, solid when came on and we looked alot better with him at the back. More leadership and had more shape.
