Gillingham v Charlton Match Thread 21/09/2021

Really quick counter (started by a great first time ball by Watson). Just not sure Washington was the right player to punish when he gets it on left like that.

Their keeper sends it long, but McG can collect just at the edge of the area.

I assume Olly still unwell, not getting much info from CAFC twitter

14' Blackett-Taylor's cross is met on the volley by Washington, but he fires wide. #gills 0 #cafc 0

Erk, CBT beats his man, puts a cross in but Washington can't quite turn enough to get his shot on target.

I like Washington's endeavour but he never looks like beating a man with the ball at his feet.

Yeah, I love Morse

CBT has their full back on toast. Have to capitalize on it before they adjust and nullify him.

Playing better football than against Wycombe. CBT's pace is a real asset, and we're releasing him quickly.

CBT again. Has a bit of Miller about him in that he can go past a player at pace.

We're playing Gillingham, anything less than a win is an embarrassment. Even with this team.

BUFFERING!!!!

14' 0-0 Blackett-Taylor with another burst of pace down the right wing, he sends a ball into the box which is struck wide by Washington. #Gills

Oliver is a unit in the air for them... Almost need to forget about competing in the air with him and focus on winning the second ball

aliwibble

Not sure what happened there, but Purrington I think it was crosses to CBT who heads wide

Can we swap CBT and DJ's contracts?

CBT 👌

You might need a second bottle 

Mr Tatters (not a football fan) is tutting already. Will have to be creative and use a mug for the next one.

Ref gives a free kick against CBT midway in their half

CBT will be getting a longer contract if he keeps this up

15' Purrington's centre finds Blackett-Taylor, but the winger heads just wide from close range. #gills 0 #cafc 0

Nice tackle from Purrington to clear for a throw. Not a long one this time though.

Still no Henderson on the bench...

I’ve been thinking about this. When was the last time we brought on the sub keeper? Plymouth away 12 or so years ago?

harness is cheap and probably has a lower unused sub clause in his contract than Henderson, therefore saving money every week. If Mac gets injured in training, I reckon Henderson will be straight in.

Hopefully before someone else steps in, which is our usual fate
