Southend boss Phil Brown has said: “One or two of them showed positive signs and one or two of them didn’t but I’ll leave you to work out who. 

“They’re willing to put their bodies on the line and I thought one or two of them did.

Kargbo joined QPR in 2014 from Mass Elite Academy and has since risen up through the youth ranks of the Championship side.

Thoughts? 

Kargbo is a bit of an unknown quantity but a loan move away from QPR would be a great opportunity for him to get some first-team experience under his belt.

It will be interesting to see if Southend decide to make a move for him or whether he was one of the players Brown mentioned struggled against the Hammers yesterday.

The Shrimpers have an experienced manager and will be desperate to make an immediate return to the Football League.
