SOUTHEND United defender John White is keen for the Shrimpers to learn from their relegation.
Blues will be back in League Two next season after the current campaigned was curtailed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But White wants Sol Campbell's side to be able to bounce back.
"We will learn from the experience and use it fuel the fire, "said White, 33.
"I'd like to thank everyone for the support shown in what was a really tough season both on the pitch with the results and off it with my arm breaks.
"I hope to see you again next season."
The Shrimpers sat second from bottom in the League One standings, 16 points from safety when the campaign came to a halt in March.
