Marosi - 6
Great stop at the end and distribution is so much better but a couple times he should have claimed a ball
Dabo - 6
Tired way too quickly but looks like a tough combative player
McFadzean - 8
Couple balls that didn’t make it but constantly talking to everyone and organising. Maybe would have conceded without him.
Rose - 7
Great pick up, good pace to get back and make the tackle when their striker came through. Good competition at centre back.
Mason - 8
Getting better all the time, will be gutted when we sell him for a few mil in a couple years.
Westbrook - 7
Bayliss who? Lovely player and great goal
Shipley - 7
Never gives up and is improving playing he role he wants
Kelly - 8
Captain. Taking the yellow when he needed to and shepherding the ball out. How he got relegated from league 2 i’ll never know
Jobello - 6
Flashes and effort but going to need adjustment
Baka - 6
Baka performance
Hiwula - 6
Shows why we shouldn’t play him at the point of the attack, comes and goes but definitely goals in him again.

Marosi - 7 for the save. Looked comfortable on the ball, some will whine about the one or two iffy kicks but generally a step change in distribution and command from last season
Dabo - 6 Not a great game. Left his man a fair bit and first half looked like he’d get a nose bleed if he went past half way. Sure there’s more to come though.
McFadzean - 8 Very solid, always talking and organising. Got his head on everything. Will be a rock for us.
Rose - 7 Started shaky but grew into the game and looked a classy centre half.
Mason - 9 My MOTM. Was excellent defensively and driving forward. Linked well with Hiwula. Really like him. Also just become my daughters favourite player after one game.
Westbrooke - 8 Good goal, who need Tom Bayliss?
looks solid if not spectacular. Like a few of our CMs lacks a little bit of spark to make him stand out. Really like him as a player though.
Kelly - 7 Some iffy moments but generally a solid base for the team to play from. So important to how we play.
Shipley - 8 Good game, could’ve had a goal. Plays some excellent passes and uses the ball well. Could be a big season for him.
Jobello - 6 Didn’t see it today personally. Didn’t challenge for the ball, barely tracked back, never got going going forward. Hope there’s lots more to come from him otherwise we need some width pretty quick.
Baka - 8 Excellent game leading the line. Won lots in the air but often no one close enough to exploit it. Also hold men off really well.
Hiwula - 7 Did OK, should’ve had a goal. Not going to get you on the edge of your seat but works hard and is a goal threat.
Eccles - 7 Looked good. Not much time to shine but another solid if not spectacular CM coming through.

Marosi - 6 - A good start from him. One great save.
Dabo - 5 - Looks unfit tbh, not at full speed. Kept their LW quiet until the last 20. Height gets picked on.
McFadzean - 6 - Good defensively, passing was off at times.
Rose - 6 - Same as McFad. A little nervous at times but was expected. Quicker than I thought.
Mason - 8 - Outstanding. Looked to get forward well, shut their RW out all game.
Kelly - 6 - He was alright.
Westbrooke - 7 - Very happy with him being the Bayliss replacement.
Shipley - 6 - Started strong, but looked like he was blowing after about 20 minutes. Poor from then out.
Jobello - 5 - Anonymous. Their LB was fantastic and didn't give him a sniff.
Hiwula - 6 - Should've scored.
Bakayoko - 6 - Very little service.

Marosi - 6 - Didn't have too much to do except for one fine save late on. Seemed decent enough at claiming the ball. Scared me a bit with how long he was holding onto the ball.
Dabo - 5 - Looked a bit off it and was targeted by Southend in the second half. Did make a few solid tackles though.
McFadzean - 7 - Really comfortable afternoon for him, and looked a very solid acquisition. Passes ranged from the sublime to the bizarre but he's going to get some ridiculous assists this season.
Rose - 6 - Did alright but had some weird communication errors where he went for the same ball as a team-mate.
Mason - 8 - One of his best games in a City shirt. Didn't give Southend's right winger a sniff all game.
Westbrooke - 6 - Didn't actually feel like he had as good as a game as most despite the goal. Was a bit slow with his passing and kept playing balls behind or to feet when Jobello or Hiwula clearly wanted it in front of them. Felt like his positioning was a bit off as well and Southend were finding a lot of space on his side towards the end of the second half. Still, an excellently taken goal and an overall solid game.
Kelly - 7 - Solid as ever. So important to how we play.
Shipley - 6 - Similar to Westbrooke in that his positioning and passing were a bit off but overall a good performance. Unlucky not to score early on.
Jobello - 5 - Looked a bit off the pace and decision making wasn't great, but can see some potential there. Had a few good chances and was unlucky not to set up some good chances for team-mates.
Bakayoko - 6 - Fairly solid game, put himself around a lot, seemed to be a bit keener to get stuck in than last season. Don't think he's the answer up front but I like him as a squad player.
Hiwula - 7 - Created the goal and overall looked good when he had the ball. Should have scored but willing to let him off a bit with the angle and the defender coming back.
Eccles - 7 - Very promising cameo, first touch was excellent and looked very comfortable out there. Really impressed.

I think we should be pretty encouraged?
Opening day win.
Good atmosphere.
McFad seems like a great addition.
Rose looks classy.
Mason delivering on his potential.
Westbrooke and Shipley stepping up.
Eccles looks like a player.
And to add to this:
Jamie Allen to return in a couple of weeks.
Expectations of an additional 3 new signings/loans to add to the firepower of the squad.
Max not too far away from full fitness
Looks like we have a solid base if we can get those 3 key signings through the door.

As much as people slated little luke Thomas he would have added dynamism and guile to that team and the left back would not have looked like Paulo Maldini.
We need players fast as that was a poor Southend team who could have easily taken a point in the end.
We need a No 10, centre Forward and a winger in the next few weeks. RB looks a downgrade on Sterling atm but in fairness sterling started out pretty average too.
Great to see so many fans there today and I hope they all come back with a +1 If possible!!

Marisa 7 Good save at end distribution not too bad
Dabo 5 struggled 2nd half. Didn’t help that most of the time he had 2 players to mark as their left back was allowed to go where he wanted.
McFadzean 7 good solid performance looks like a really good signing.
Rose 6 communication poor in a couple of occasions has a decent turn of speed. Grew in confidence as game went on.
Mason 8 is this the same player as last year? Really impressed with his improvements in distribution strength and general reading of the game MoM
Westbrooke 7 looked very comfortable good goal
Kelly 6 didn’t have loads to do marshalled Westbrooke and Shipley. Solid performance
Shipley 6 first 30 minutes outstanding was running the match then seemed to lose his grip with a few loose passes.
Jobello 5 fine going forward but piled loads of pressure on Dabo by not tracking the left back.
Baka 6 worked hard but didn’t really seem to be in it.
Hiwula 6 should have scored tracked back better than last season good assist when most of us were shouting him to shoot.
Eccles 6 did ok albeit a couple of times he looked a bit rabbit in headlights.
Robins 8 was surprised he didn’t take Jobello off for last 10 as he was a passenger. Was expecting either Pask or Burroughs to come in to assist Dabo who for me struggled the last 20 minutes.
SBA 10 supported the team no moaning and made it more like an away match.

Mason, 7 - looks a lot sharper than last season
Kelly, 8 - a v good leader for us and keeps the midfield ticking and always disrupts the opposition attacks
Westbrooke, 8 - really good performance in attack and defence topped off with a good goal. Could be a big year for him
Shipley, 7 - nearly gave us the lead, some neat passing in attack too
Jobello, 6 - really positive start, made some promising runs in the first 30m but faded from then on

Mistakes in the last 10mins almost cost dear but should have changed the right hand side sooner.Jordy swapped to the right but should have really took Baka off last 10mins to shore up the midfield

Hiwula 6 unlucky not to score first half some nice touches but faded
Jobello 5.5 worked hard some nice touches but never got behind them.or delivered crosses.
Bakayoko 5..5 worked hard but wasnt given much service.
Eccles not on long but looked ok.
We were tidy and controlled game. Last 20 mins lost midfield and put ourselves under pressure. They had best two chances of game in last 10 mins and unlucky not to score.
I think we deserved win but lack that killer ball into box for strikers

Bit surprised by the 4s and 5s being given to Jobello, considering it's his first game in English football I thought he done ok - kept it simple when needed and good control. Ok we all wanted to see him do what he done in pre season rinse the full back and deliver quality but it wernt to be today. Think he will be a big player for us for this season once he gets going
Maroso 7 Important save. Good with feet though at times too casual. His kicking during warm up was impressive
Dabo 6 Surprised how early he got cramp. Played a great ball in first half but other than that pretty average
Mason 8 Defended well and always looked to link up and get forward. Looked really sharp. Opposite to Dabo
Rose 6 Looked shaky and made a few mistakes that could have been costly
McFadzean 8 Good in the air and always looking for the ball to play out from the back. A few loose passes
Kelly 7 Worked hard and covered well at times. Provided some stability
Shipley 7 Up and down game. Looked injured sometimes or just tired. Did some good stuff but shirks headers
Westbrooke 8 MOM He was always looking for that run off the ball. Covered a lot of ground. Beautifully taken goal
Jobello 5 Early days I know, but I was expecting much more.
Bakayoko 7 Worked hard and turned away from defender twice in first half using his strength. I would like him to win more in the air for someone his size
Hiwula 7 Glimpses of pace and trickery but should have passed after rounding the keeper. Good work for the assist
Eccles 6 Didn't get much time to do much but looked busy
