Re: The Let's Start a Gillingham Thread Thread

Great entertainment! The Gills showing why they are top of the table with some great play out of defence into attack, while the Reds resorted too often to hurried clearances, probably because the visitors pressed the ball very effectively. Stanley moved up a couple of gears in the second half and got a grip of the game with some high tempo stuff. I disagree with the radio Lancs reporter who thought the penalty and sending off was the turning point, as we had turned the game's dynamic well before that, and we could easily have had a couple before then had we been a bit more clinical with our chances. The Gills were very lucky in the end to escape with a point, and how the ref only saw fit to give 4 added minutes is beyond belief. Stirring stuff from Stanley and another wonder save from Dunbavin near the end to avoid a big injustice.
Sorry, Jeff, but Toto is twice the player Murphy is IMHO. At least he usually manges to retrieve his scary moments.
