    Was at the game. Typical end of season, going through the motions performance. Nothing to report. Holmes livened up towards the end, Konsa was solid and Jacko should've taken the penalty. Sell the club.

    Anyone chat to Katrien on the train home? I was going up north but spied her hiding amongst some apologists on the platform.

    As I left home Tommy said "we'll win 2-1", and scoffed at my 3-3 prediction.

    Nice walk from the station to the ground (sorry about that ultras). Tidy, modern stadium, perfect for crowds under 10k.

    It was all a bit lacking in passion for obvious reasons. No one played brilliantly, no-one played that badly, although again Dasilva and Holmes stood out. Pearce also, as he has presence, and marshalls his defense Terry style. Magennis won more headers than I've ever seen him win.
    Botaka played quite well, and should have had another assist.

    Great to hear 'Jimmy Seed's red & white army' being sung. More please!

    Felt a bit sorry for Chesterfield. Hope they bounce back.

    Poor pen miss though. Should have been JJ's.

    Can I assume we are mathematically safe, now?

    Pretty boring end of season game really. As said by others no one really shone. A half decent team would have absolutely battered Chesterfield today as they were awful. We have a long way to go to be a top 6 side. Happy with the win but was all a bit meh.

    Finally, the Charlton charge as promised by one Karl Robinson. Watch out the rest of the division.

    Oh.

    Finally we have the measure on the league we are in. Next season we will see the fruits of Roland and Katy's 3 years hard graft. Promoted by Christmas, 138 points by the end of next April.
    I thank the lord we have a wealthy visionary and an astute business woman leading us to the promise land and greatness.
    I shall attend next weeks game just to voice my appreciation of great leader and dear leaders guidance through the past 3 years transition from respected football club to laughing stock lower league 3 club.

    Watched on facebook, was like a friendly in every way.

    Jacko should have taken the pen

    So annoying watching Millwall stumble over the line, and they will probably go up :(

    What are Southend playing at. Two winnable games and they don't even get a point.
    Pony league full of pony teams. Makes it all the more galling we didn't finish top six at the minimum

    Yep. In a pony league full of pony teams we made a complete ass of it!!!

    To all the doubters, Tarby told us that the rest of Div1 were waiting for us to charge up the league and we have.

    Sorry Weegie didn't read all thread before posting.

    Thought Konsa was dreadful. At fault for 2nd goal and nearly cost us a couple of times in the first half.... ??

    @The Red Robin I think Konsa has shown much more promise in midfield. Thought Da Silva had a good game and A Grant showed some of the early promise he had from a few seasons back. Will be a real challenge to hold on to Ricky Holmes. That's me done for the season, 13 away games, 2 wins, Brizzle R and yesterday, far too many draws and some real soul destroying defeats at the Spanner and Shrews, all L1 grounds completed. If no change then I will maintain my absence from The Valley. Hopeful of a few new grounds but not many.... Will be a real push to see us next season... #ROLANDOUT #BEQUIETSUEPARKES

    Konsa is only 19, and has been played all over the pitch, which can't help his positional awareness. At this stage of his career he's still very raw, yes he clearly "looks" quite a quality player (in the way Gomez caught the eye) but he's a long way off the finished article

    Don't think you can compare Gomez and Konsa at all. Gomez oozed class, Konsa is ok at best.

    Konsa is fine but has just had a dip in form. It's been an excellent season for him because he's gone from U23s to being in the 1st Team squad almost every week and has a host of Premier League scouts watching him.

    If he can fill out a bit, he could easily make a decent midfielder but is more likely to settle at centre back.

    I was really impressed with No. 39, young lad.
    Overall game, think we were lucky to win.

    Throughout the season the media have ‘reported’ the interest of top premier league clubs in Ezri Konsa, but I have struggled to see the potential implied by this interest. I realise he is young and so there’s plenty of scope for development, but at the moment I see a player lacking two essential qualities needed by a central defender: strength and dominance in the air. He is also very static when in possession, making it easy to press him and leading to his often being caught in possession. I’d be surprised if we lose him in the summer.

    After talking down Konsa I should talk up Crofts. He doesn’t seem to be much liked by supporters, but the role he has now been given to shield the back four is tailor-made for him. I have seen the last two away matches (Coventry and Chesterfield) and for me he has been the stand-out outfield player.

    One more comment on players. Jay Dasilva’s physical height is 5 foot 4, but when he jumps for the ball he grows considerably. At Shrewsbury he out-jumped someone who must have been about a foot taller. This was so surprising that I began to think I had imagined it. However, yesterday at Chesterfield his extraordinary elasticity when leaping was on display again.

    Completely disagree re Konsa. I think he's definitely got the class and will develop into a very good player. His best position may be shielding the back four or as a sweeper in a back 3.

    Agree about Crofts though. He's been very dependable in that role and hasn't let us down. I'd certainly give him another year even if it's to be as a squad player. We could do a lot worse.

    If anything it should improve him as a player, learning a few positions. Doesn't do the Dutch any harm.

    It's really hard though to learn your trade if you're continually being moved around the pitch. It's not as if he's been playing as the holding midfielder in the previous games, as he was further forward, often in attacking positions

    This is also 100% correct, but he was an accident waiting to happen yesterday.
    Still a real prospect
