Gillingham Post Match Thoughts

[CAMiller]

Well it's only 9am and that's my Saturday ruined! Do other teams always lose games that on paper it would appear they should win like we always seem to do? Only 1pt from the last 9, hardly promotion form.

Thoughts?

Potter having the worsestist game he's had for us.
Williams was found out early when everytime he came inside there was someone waiting to nick the ball,
Newell, apart from his little runs he offered very little.
Forde wasn't at the races when he was subbed Taylor ran about a lot and did a few things but the team display wouldn't allow Maradona to preform.
Mattock was wound up and kept givin fouls away! They got under his skin and he got himself sent off through lack of a brain.
The defence did better than the midfield in passing the ball but weren't that good at marking for crosses.
The Midfied did better at passing the ball than the forwards but the forwards didn't show enough.
Gillingham did better than Rotherham at passing the ball.

We're a long way off being a team in contention!

Best team won, it was like watching last years team.

Outfought, poor defending and not energetic enough

good lord, how damning is that to compare them to the utter shambles of the era of he who cannot be named...


probably spot on though as it sounds like they had done their homework on us

Poor team selection.

Forde can go in January along with others.

Newell....if your heart isn't in it don't play!

Rodak today poor positioning

Not much more could be said about the rest of the team.

The gills were a niggling side that got in our face without getting booked. How many fouls would did they concede 20+?
That was their game plan to never let us get going so well done to them for that.

We've had some great results at home this season using a tried and trusted method but after 20 minutes today anyone could see that
4-1-4-1 was not working and Warne should have reverted to a 4-4-2 formation. We simply never got in their faces and it was only a ball over the top that Moore converted with excellence and that was about that.

Said before we kicked off I didn't fancy today. I wish I could stop us playing s.hite against bottom 4 sides but I'm not in charge.

Forde - well, think he's currently top of our assisted goals list - need to keep the supply unless we find better

Did nothing at all today, couldn't even get a cross over the first time of asking. Lazy in the tackle didn't make runs at all.
Then again a lot of them need to question their performance today.
