Gillingham (H) match thread
- Thread starter DAV007
- Start date
the atmosphere certainly improved at the clayton end last season. wish my back would allow me to stand there for a couple of hours as it seems buzzing overthere.
Tom D;1215362. Quite a few people have us nailed on for relegation - long may this remain a gross underestimation
Gillingham fans not optimistic

Do we know if Eaves is out injured for them?
Big loss if that’s the case

Cheers Di i had no idea.
Mmmm...0-2 at half time! Half time team talk called for.
C'mon the Reds, you've done it afore now, you can do it again.

Big Ben MOTM anyone?
Scotty didn’t do it for me.... Seany did well though.

We all said Ben.
Maxted - thought he was poor today for their goals, did make some decent but expected saves
Johnson - poor game, offered little going forward
Sykes - out of his depth today
Hughes - was poor in patches but more concerning he didn’t lead as much as I would expect him to with a first time starter along side him
Richards Everton - MOTM, tried , did his all in the left back position
Clark - very poor game by his standards, didn’t beat his man often enough, final ball was not good enough, went missing first half
Connelly - poor first half, grew into the game
Brown - very poor first half, never really won his midfield battles
McConville - like Clark had no impact in first half, physically seemed a yard slower than the rest
Kee - some good hold up play but didn’t have a real chance all game
Jackson - very movie and put the effort in but didn’t have a real chance all game
Subs
Finley - thought he was poor and didn’t inspire any confidence based on that performance
Zanzala - didn’t get a single chance , difficult to impact the game with less than 10 mins to go
No 3rd substitute - poor from Coleman
Overall , poor tactical set up and performance.
Worth mentioning Charles Cook and Hanlan out wide for Gillingham, they have got 2 good players there
Zakuani an absolute rock at the back for Gillingham

It was a very frustrating match for the Stanley players and supporters today.
Callum pulled out of a tackle 40 yards out and their lad then waltzed past a couple more defenders before setting up his team mate to score the opener.
I am sure that Callum will have learnt a lesson there today. Having said that, if Callum had gone in to that tackle hard and got the opposing tackle that occurred in the second half, (which should have earned a RED CARD), then Callum could be in hospital tonight with a broken leg!
With the loss of Janoi and Jimmy Dunne our defence looked quite unbalanced and unsure of themselves. We also failed to dictate any real spells of play in midfield.
Billy worked hard as usual with very little help from the referee once again. I thought that the ref got worse as the match proceeded. He allowed The Gills to get away with too many little pushes and failed to show the Red Card when it was needed!
The Gills players used their experience and took advantage of the lenient refereeing when they eventually came under some pressure in the last twenty minutes. We should have a had a penalty late on which would have given us a consolation only.
We just weren't good enough today but I am certain that the lads will only get better when the season settles down after the transfer and loan windows close. Also the 'new defence' will learn to play better together as they get matches under their belts.
I really wish that we could get Jimmy Dunne back for another season.
Finally, I thought that Sam Finlay looked quite good when he came on in midfield.
KEEP THE FAITH
ON STANLEY ON
