I see that Sean Whalley scored twice today for Wrexham. He's having a good season.

Mannix and Barry were unused subs when I last looked. For whatever reason Harris did not feature in the squad.

Full time guys oh ****** back to the norm, [i so wish i did the reverse psych on predictions worked last 2 times ]

[maccawozzagod]

Chester five nil

Harris out

Any coincidence?

[Tin Monkey]

By not having Barry, Mannix and Harris in the starting line-up, they probably had midfielders that passed forward.

[darrener]

harris probably suspended

Anyone on here go ? Sounds like it was a dogged defensive effort, with Kenny starring, that nearly got a reward, but were Gillingham good/bad/average ? And did we look up for it ?

Hi Chris,

To answer your questions, it was frustrating having got so close to full-time to concede when we did, but the goal was the culmination of a 10-minute period when we had barely got out of our box, and were it not for a combination of poor finishing and inspired goalkeeping by Kenny, the game would have been beyond us earlier.

Gillingham looked a decent side to me, they were very committed and rarely gave us any time on the ball. There are no complaints either about Stanley’s commitment, they gave it their all and we saw some tremendously tenacious defending from the entire back-four, we were just beaten by a more creative attacking side on the day. John Mullin and Procky don’t give us much pace in the middle and we missed the attacking thrust that Craney gave us from midfield. Their No.10, Jackson, the best player on display, did exactly that for the Gills and caused us no end of trouble.

The front two of Mullin and Clarke looks potentially good if they can work out how to combine most effectively, but Clarke needs quality service, and that was lacking yesterday. Incidentally, Mullers will have been kicking himself all the way back up north yesterday as he missed the sort of chance we’ve come to expect him to put away, nodding wide when picked out at the back post, although he wasn’t able to really attack the ball.

So no real complaints about the result, just a few worries about how we are going to link midfield to attack without resorting solely to lumping it up to Mullin.

See you soon

Phil

Less of the 'old git' - you're older than me. Didn't stop in but just had a couple of pints less than usual. It will be the same next week as it's another long drive.
On the ninety minutes Gillingham deserved to win but when we went one down Coley made his usual inspired substitutions. Procky off and Rocky on in midfield, then Murdock off and Murphy on - Rocky put back to centre hald and Murphy in midfield. I would have thought with ten minutes left he could have brought Onibuje on up front to chase a goal but Coley knows better.
