Phillips: 7 almost a calamity but ended up saving us Solly: 5.5 bailed out by Phillips, let them in several times Bielik: 6 a weird performance Sarr: 8.5 MOTM righteous stuff Purrington: 7 the fall guy for a needed tactical switch but played well while he was on Cullen: 7 tidy but didn't play anything killer Reeves: 7.5 grabbed the game by the throat and was rewarded by being subbed off for a literal plank of wood Williams: 7.5 he did fade a bit but was so good for most of it Fosu: 4 everything went wrong for him, kind of sad Marshall: 6.5 good assist and had the beating of his man but so many bad crosses Vetokele: 6 wasn't able to cause much Parker: 7 looks like a really useful addition, put that header anywhere else and he's the hero Referee: 6.5 got the red card right but some odd calls
Hackett-Fairchild: n/a like playing with ten, he is SO bad, surely Ocran, Aouachria or anyone else must be better Lapslie: n/a
Bowyer: our best substitution of the season followed by our worst
Phillips: 6 - Didn't have a lot to do, couldn't do anything about the goal. Solly: 5 - Thought he was pretty poor Bielik: 6 - Shaky first half, not much to do in the second. Decent shot Sarr: 7 - He really is becoming a permanent fixture in this side Purrington: 6 - Did ok Cullen: 7.5 - Thought he was very good, too good for this league Reeves: 7 - Decent, tries to make things happen but has played better Williams: 8 - Class act and everybody knows it, hence why they constantly kick lumps out of him Fosu: 3 - One of the worst performances I have seen in a Charlton shirt Marshall: 5.5 - Reasonably poor, extra .5 for assist Vetokele: 5 - Off the pace and never looked like scoring Parker: 6 - Impressive cameo Referee: 6 - Thought he got most write
Phillips: 6 Solly: 5 looked out of it today, gave the ball away a lot Bielik: 5.5 booked for a needless challenge and misses 2 games because of it Sarr: 6.5 decent enough Purrington: 6 surprised he was the one to come off at half-time Cullen: 6 did ok Reeves: 6.5 extra half mark for the goal, frustrating to watch at times though Williams: 6.5 worked hard and was consistently kicked Fosu: 4 waste of space Marshall: 6 decent ball for the goal but isn't a striker and it showed in the first half Vetokele: 6 worked hard but didn't really get a clear cut chance Parker: 6 looked lively when we came on Referee: 7 definitely a red, missed a couple of smaller decisions but added on a lot of time for Southend's timewasting, we just didn't take advantage of it
Phillips: 6.5 wasn't on the same wavelength as Bielik most of the game but a couple of good saves Solly: 6.5 mister dependable Bielik: 5.5 dodgy game with regular miscontrol and miscommunication Sarr: 7.5 get him tied up on a new deal ASAP, he's the next to be sold if he continues to perform Purrington: 6.5 solid, right man to take off at half time in hindsight Cullen: 7 our engine man, rarely went wrong but wasn't outstanding either Reeves: 7 gets a point for his goal, other than that he fluffed the next best chance of the second half Williams: 8 you can see how scared the opposition are of him, gets hacked down every game Fosu: 4.5 starting to see the player Reading let go 18 months ago? Marshall: 5.5 ineffective in the role he was asked to perform, half a point for assist Vetokele: 5 what has happened to Igor? he was such a monster when he joined, seeing him now almost makes me feel sad Parker: 8 best player on the pitch when he came on Referee: 4 lost control, too many cards and didn't deal with the timewasting
Phillips: 7 Solly: 6 Bielik: 5.5 Sarr: 7.5 Purrington: 6.5 Cullen: 7 Reeves: 7.5 (best I've seen him play) Williams: 8 (the 'anti-football' approach to him at this awful level is disgusting. He deserves so much better) Fosu: 3 (would the real Tariqe Fosu please stand up!) Marshall: 5 (such a frustrating player, epitomised by his break into the box near the end and shot straight at the keeper when he simply should have just pulled it back) Vetokele: 4 (anonymous - perhaps because of the set up?) Parker: 7 (good cameo and brought something extra in the second half)
Referee: 4 (Horrible little attention seeker. League 1 equivalent of 'look at me, I'm Mike Dean')
Phillips: 7 no chance with the goal crucial save right at the death Solly: 6 average 1st half plenty of ball 2nd half good distribution Bielik: 7 over doing it at times and got booked as a result otherwise class Sarr: 7 usual good performance of late Purrington: 5.5 offered nothing going forward yet again Cullen: 7.5 Ran the show in his best position Reeves: 6.5 poor first half but took his goal well for an extra point Williams:6 plenty of endeavour but little end product for 2nd week running Fosu: 4 so so predictable, not the answer........NEXT Marshall: 6 never a striker, extra point for the assist which was his best cross out of a dozen or more attempts! Vetokele: 5 not much service but never looked like making it happen Parker: 6 couple of headers into mixer, movement not rewarded Referee: 6 inconsistent
Hackett-Fairchild: failed to hold it up and header well wide in unspectacular cameo Lapslie: not sure why he came on that late
Very disappointing outcome against 10 men for an hour at home. At least we salvaged a point from the game
Phillips: 6.5 not his best game Solly: 7 solid Bielik: 7 solid, great shot Sarr: 8.5 great performance, MOTM, love him, that shot! Purrington: 7 sad he had to go off Cullen: 6.5 neat and tidy but just not enough, don't take the corners please. Reeves: 7.5 subbed...... why? Williams: 7.5 he's too good for those around him sometimes. Fosu: 4 should never have played, should have been off at half time not purrington, don't play him again. Marshall: 7 assist for the goal, crossing let him down Vetokele: 6 pretty invisible really Parker: 7.5 Think he'll do well along side Taylor, header was unlucky
Phillips: 6 - new contract in the bag so back to being shaky. Did well at the end.
Solly: 6.5 - ok. Never had him as a centre half candidate!
Bielik: 6.5 - good but overdoes it on occasion
Sarr: 8 - great performance and entertaining to boot.
Purrington: 5 - runs like Wiggins. Unfortunately that’s where the similarity ends. Offers very little coming forward. Player of the month my arse.
Cullen: 7 - Tidy but hufffed and puffed a bit
Reeves: 7 - at fault for the goal but good second half even if he inclines to take three touches when one or two would do.
Williams: 6 - flatters to deceive a bit. My jury is out.
Fosu.: 2 - where has he gone. One of the worst performances I’ve ever seen. Ended up dribbling himself on one accession. Show pony.
Marshall: 5. Lots of ball but did sod all with it other than the cross for the goal. Don’t know where he was meant to be playing in the first half. Neither did he.
Vetokele: 3. Utterly invisible. I genuinely forgot he was playing.
Parker: 6. Looked ok in a big lump sort of way. Referee: 6 - got most decisions right but totally failed to capitalise in the worst time wasting I think I have ever seen.
Phillips: 7 Saved a point at the end Solly: 5 Poor today Bielik: 5 Some good, some bad. Dumb booking. Sarr: 9 Magnifiqe! MotM Purrington: 6.5 Cullen: 7 Reeves: 7 Williams: 8 Fosu: 4 Such a shame Marshall: 6 So many poor crosses. But an assist. Vetokele: 5 Hardly noticed him :-( Parker: 7 Good in air. Decent addition. Not his fault Roland’s a twat (is ‘twat’ ok?) Referee: 5 Got the sending off right. Didn’t book enough of their players.
Phillips: 6 - Good save at the end but a couple moments where he was hesitant coming off his line. Again. And kicking was poor. Again. Nothing he could do about the goal. I would like to see what Maxwell has to offer.
Solly: 6 - Played the sweeper role largely well but he has a mistake in him at this stage of his career unfortunately.
Bielik: 7.5 - Classy. Some good long range passing and came out of the back well.
BeckenSarr: 9 - MOTM. A better crosser with his weak foot than the winger, Marshall. Everything but a goal. Too good for us, enjoy him while you can.
Purrington: 6 - Was there. His most memorable contribution was the ball deflecting off him for the goal. Sarr put in a better performance at LB.
Cullen: 7.5 - Kept it ticking over well. Perhaps lacking incisiveness but it was one of those days for most of our players.
Reeves: 7.5 Lovely goal. Largely excellent set pieces. A very clever footballer.
Williams: 8 - Everything but that final ball unfortunately.
Fosu: 6.5 - I think people only remember his goals from last season, because there was a lot more of this than most seem to realize. Don't think he was awful, but end product was poor. Somehow in the last few minutes he managed to pass twice when he should have taken his man on, an odd reversal for him..
Marshall: 5.5 - not great. Both Fosu and Lapslie had one cross from the right each and they were reminders that it's actually not that hard to cross the ball. Ball in for the goal was very good, but that was the only one. Takes three touches to control the ball. Defenders can be slow to close him down because they know he never crosses it first time.
Vetokele: 6 - Put himself about and his movement was good but from the off our main form of attack seemed to be get the ball wide and get crosses in the air in for 5'8" Vetokele and 5'6" Marshall. On two or three occasions he was a split second late. His first start in three months I believe so hopefully more to come from him.
Parker: 7 - it's weird to think he was on for the entire half, but he had three or four really good headers. Drew the best save of the game. Created a great chance for Reeves where it just didn't come down in time. Don't know why he didn't start.
Referee: 5 - I thought the red and Cullen's booking were perhaps both a little harsh, but to his credit he was consistent. Loses marks for the fact that no one got booked for time wasting.
Hackett-Fairchild: n/a looks out of his depth. Lapslie: n/a
Phillips: 7 couple of good stops at the end Solly: 6.5 ok Bielik: 6.5 ok need to be sensible if playing cb and is last man. only thing stopping him making it in the PL Sarr: 8 love him more every game Purrington: 5 off the pace today Cullen:7 did eell Reeves: 7 great run for goal. Williams:7 really like him, draws people in Fosu:4 poor, half arsed id rather he f*** off than carry him Marshall: 5 rare start again crap showing. crossing is shocking. Vetokele: 5 starved of service, made some great runs but not picked up. more.minutes and im convinced he will come.good Parker: 6 liked the look of him. not a like for like but a better option than RHF Referee: 6 RHF: 5 not a performance to convince the doubters, actually turned the game in their favour for last 10 when he came on.

Vetokele: 5.5 rusty and missed two half chances 1st half. Parker: 7 decent 45 minutes. Referee: 7 got the big calls right.
Phillips: 6.5 Solly: 6 Bielik: 6.5 Sarr: 9- except scoring from thirty yards how could he have played any better. Best performance of the season. Purrington: 6 Cullen: 6 Reeves: 6.5 Williams: 6.5 Fosu: 5 Marshall: 5.5 Vetokele: 5.5 Parker: 6.5 Referee: 6
Watched on a stream: Phillips: 7 - largely untroubled until the end where he made a couple of big saves. Distribution still sloppy at times when trying to go long. No chance with the goal. Solly: 7 - did well as a sweeper but was beaten a couple of times down the right, particularly later on when we were pushing forward Bielik: 7 - solid, good going forward, silly booked that sees him suspended for 2 games now Sarr: 9 - superb, man mountain, the Southend commentators were in awe of him Purrington: 6.5 - unlucky to be sacrificed for the push forward, looks solid if not spectacular. Cullen: 6 - very busy, but didn't find a way forward often enough. Couldn't find a killer pass but never gave up. Reeves: 6.5 - didn't get forward enough but was one of the better players. Struggled with a lack of movement in front of him to exploit space. Williams: 9 - way, way too good for this league, glides past players for fun, wasted with us unfortunately. Fosu: 5 - poor, no final ball, beat his man regularly and then tried to beat more and lost the ball time and time again. Needs to be more of a team player Marshall: 5 - didn't work well up front, great cross for the goal but probably a fluke given the number of failed crosses he had. Not sure how he fits in this team. Vetokele: 6 - anonymous for a lot of the game, but 90 min will do him good Parker: 7 - did well, almost snatched a win, gave us better movement and strength up front. Referee: 5 - inconsistent, didn't do enough to stop Southend's cynical fouling, and allowed way too much time wasting.
