Player Ratings - Southend

[JJ 0]

Gallacher 6 - Ok, not at fault with goals (although I didn''t get a clear view of the third).

Colin 6 - Started well and faded.

Drury 6 - Better than Saturday but that''s not saying much.

Shackell 5 - Left for dead for the first goal.  Almost put through his own net.  Looks really shaky.

Docherty 7 - Best of the defenders.

Safri 6 - Did ok but gave away possession for the last goal

Etuthu 7 - Excellent but tired towards end.  Good header for goal.

Hughes 7 - Filled in well for Robinson.  Decent match although a tiny minority seemed to disagree.

Croft 7 - Good game, missed him when we went off.  Stupid antics on the touchline.

Mcveigh 6 - Okay game without anything spectacular.

Earnshaw 8 - Did the business in front of goal.  Missed a sitter at the end.

Henderson 5 - Came on, gave the ball away a lot.  Not good enough. Get rid.

Jarvis - Not on long enough for a rating.

Fans 10 - Magnificent support.  Even at 0-1 down they got behind the team.  Deserved better (again!)

i actually prefer hughes to robinson but neither would be best (in a 4-4-2 formation if the board had pulled their finger out and bought a decent striker to partner Earnie)

I thought the back four were ok last night, the first goal went over docs head and shacks had to come across and cover if you saw doc after the goal he went up to shacks and was saying sorry for not dropping deaper.Doc was great last night, and i think that if we have a back four with just one midfielder covering in the last 25 mins as was the case last night the reults will speak for them selfs no matter how they play.The first few games this season we got it right 2 banks of four and we hard to beat, last night was the opposite.Football is a team game when we do not play as a team last night was the result.Many times last night you could see no options for any pass from back four no target man up front we all know the reasons but until the club do something the team will struggle.
