Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 2-1 Chesterfield

Forums New posts
What a brilliant game of football. Two sides clearly too good for the 5th division going toe to toe.

Not a bad performance across the park from Southend players today. I thought to a man we were excellent. But I just wanted to pick out a couple of performances that I don’t think have been mentioned too much above.

Personally I thought Nathan Ralph was exceptional today. A proper captains performance and kept their 10, goal aside, to working with scraps.

And what about Oli Coker? Not sure enough is made of this super talent we have from our youth team. Just 20 years old and outplaying some of the best midfielders in the National League. Superb again today.

Finally Cardwell is a seriously good forward. He might not have scored today but the work that he put in was a joy to watch. We are looking at someone going places and he deserves to be playing up at least 1 division and quite possibly 2.

Genuine question on Jack today. Did anyone think he was carrying an injury as I don't think I saw him attack the defenders with his mazy dribbling the whole game. I'd be delighted if you all shout me down, but I thought he struggled today.

i thought that although first half we seemed to come down the right more. Second half he got more into it and the link up play with him, Wes and Noor started to tick.

Depends how you look at it. I don't think he had anything to do, and claiming a few crosses should be his bread and butter. Doesn't mean he played badly. Every player starts on a base score of 6 for me, and it goes up and down from there. Argument perhaps that he was worth a 7, but his kicking was a worry and ultimately kept him at a 6 for me 🤷

however, he didnt have any top draw saves to make but he made two or three routine saves similar to the one their keeper let in. Claimed crosses well and good with his feet. a sloid 7- 7.5 at least

Just seen on Instagram that our former kitman, Luke Purcell, was at the game today. I know how highly he was rated by the players but was forced to move to Stoke for the good of his family because of the problems of being an employee of the club under the current regime. Glad you had a fantastic spectacle to witness on your return Luke. Go well and perhaps there might be a happy permanent return one day.

weve become good friends with Luke mainly due to his SM stuff. He has got us comp tickets for QPR V Stoke in a few weeks. great guy and someone who i would expect back to SUFC one day. He only left due to circumstances and loves the club
 
My memory of nikki smith is this … never a full on first team player bit when he did play he orient put it around . A quality player , when Southend reserve games used it be a Saturday afternoon … I was standing on the east stand paddock when he came to take a throw in , and he took a crisp from my bag of a crisps as a 9 year old .. stayed with me forever ..
