Everyone starting wanking themselves into a stupor when we went 1-0 up. But as predicted we settled down into a rhythm of a shit side against another shit side.
Can’t get over how easy it is to neutralise us. On the very few occasions we’ve played well this season, such as the first half today, all it took was minor changes for the opposition and we look clueless for the rest of the game
On a plus side I bet £10 on lee scoring first half and another £10 bet on him scoring second half just logged onto Bob's lot and won £160.00 as apparently both paid out as 1st scorer and last scorer lol no idea how that works
Adkins now blaming the late recruitment strategy. That is down to the owner and his recruitment advisers. However critical we are of Adkins, let us not forget that was a total clusterf...
He clearly knows fuck all about football to be celebrating that. Jesus wept.
How's that a celebration?
It's the bullshit positive spin. It's a point against a depleted Gillingham team and one of only 5 out of a possible 24.
This set of players and/ or this manager are clearly not good enough for a serious challenge for promotion/ top 6 finish as is surely the goal in the first season in ages when surely that is not an unrealistic expectation.
It's clear to see that this team is going nowhere near a promotion push on what we are seeing so far and I won't buy into the optimism of a point at a poor Gillingham. No doubt Adkins will be up soon if not already waffling on about "the positives" and "good spells" etc.
We did well for the first half and then went backwards and conceded and could have lost against a very poor Gillingham side.
This is not the season that anyone expected surely? I dont think we're entitled to success and we will stick with it as fans but I'd rather he and Adkins wind in the eternal optimist bollocks as it becomes very meaningless and shallow after a while and we're 5 points out of 24 and in the relegation zone of league one.
Gillingham had 5 senior players out I read. Bar Innis that was our strongest available squad to select from. Started brightly and CBT was terrorising them but then not good enough to get 3 points.
Completely deflated as have not seen anything to suggest we are going to push for a top 6 finish which is an epic failure if that's the case.
This does not look like a team that has a promotion push in its capabilities.
Well done to the supporters who travelled to the game and were loud throughout.
Not exactly loud throughout. First half yes and bits of the second and certainly the boos at the end.
Top 3 players for each side according to FotMob (not sure who marks the players)
A dozy prick if CBT ain’t on there. Morgan 7.5 😂
I won't disagree CBT should be in there.
A quick Google suggests it's a computer based scoring algorithm measuring all stats input about each player - I think it's the WhoScored algorithm but not certain.

As I say every time it gets brought up (usually bemoaning our lack of shots)... Shots on target mean f**k all if you dont put it in the net - Ironically I imagine that shot on target from Gillingham wont have been the goal as it hit the post
Big difference in the first half was that most of our passes went forward. Second half was back to what we've seen all season with the back and sideways passing in our own area. Teams must know that pressing us causes us to revert to this type of game and that's what Gillingham did in that second half.
Schoolboy error stuff in defending the short corner that led to their goal. I mean wtf! A better performance but against a depleted Gills side so it means little. Had Stockley started perhaps the game would have been put to bed in the first half.
That’s not a good point, it was against a decimated and skint Gillingham who are destined to finished bottom 8. We didn’t nick a point away to Sunderland. Gillingham lost 1-4 at home three days ago, it’s a good point if you think they’re our relegation rivals.
Has it not sunk in that the only sides we look like beating are absolute shite.

Boom! 1-1.
Controversially for some of you but I thought Ben Watson played really well, a cool head and he offered himself the whole match.
Welcome back to Ben Purrington. Very solid and gave us balance.
The worry for me is how we end up falling back and playing too deep. Second period we were again playing into dead ends.

Tommy-boy fucked him good and proper.
This is not what he signed up for.
We needed the 2nd goal when we dominated the 1st half.
2nd half Watson mostly & Morgan reverted to walking & the back 4 had no one to pass to, to create anything.

We should focus on continuity from here on out.
