Here are our player ratings from the game...

He made a couple of good saves in the first-half from Bridge and Cardwell. But he let Fonguck's shot slip through his fingers which made it 2-1. Kicking was a bit rash. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

One of the better peformers. Made several interceptions on the floor and in the air. Tackled well. One low cross from in the first-half just needed a tap-in but nobody was there. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Steady first 45. But it was his loose pass that led to Southend's second goal. (Photo: Jan Kruger)

Didn't deserve to be on the losing side. Tidied up nicely at the back and won lots of headers. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Gave possession away a few times in the first-half but made some excellent recovery runs with his pace. He made a silly tackle on Taylor for Southend's penalty. It was a shame because he had started the second 45 much better. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Tidy on the ball but didn't see loads of it. Set off a couple of attacks but not massively involved. Unlucky that Fonguck's winner deflected in off him, which was the end of his afternoon. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

One of his quieter games. One or two of his decisions were surprisingly off the mark. One shot in the second 45 was on target but lacked pace. (Photo: Jan Kruger)

His cross from the right was a peach for Grigg to finish. Worked hard and kept on plugging away. Tried to create but things didn't come off. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Not really in this game. A rare quiet day after some good recent form. Subbed off immediately after the second goal. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

He threatened in both halves with at least four shots in total. A couple tested Martin and one hit the side-netting. Came off late on. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Took his goal really well. It was from close-range but it wasn't an easy finish. Made some intelligent runs off the ball and kept Southend's defence occupied. Had a late half-chance but he scooped it over the bar. (Photo: Alex Livesey)

Replaced Banks on the hour. He got into some good areas but couldn't find that killer ball. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Came on for Colclough on 87 so didn't have much time to make an impact. But he did find Grigg with a decent cross in the last seconds. (Photo: Tina Jenner)
