    Two disallowed goals, JFC from range and Gilbey for his hat trick.

    Does look like a second string. And would not be entirely surprised if Dobson is not in our first 11. I'm not sure he fits the planned style. 
    If our best player (by far, I might add) doesn't suit the manager's playing style then maybe we got the wrong manager.
    He was our best player under Jackson may I add - under Adkins many people on here were bemoaning him as a product of our poor recruitment - because we spent so much of the game on the back foot with the opposition flooding through the middle. 

    He did that job very well for sure. Does not mean he will for a team who are looking to keep possession, play on the front foot and press high he will be similar.

    For anyone that is familiar with Avery Hill Park is the training ground now totally obscured from the park? Looks to be a lot more greenery there since I was last there. Maybe that’s what they mean when it’s behind closed doors!
    Yeah, not easy to see the training ground from the park these days, buty my 7y.o. and I were on our bikes in the park and found a spot to watch the 1st 15mins. He then decided he wanted his dinner so that was that!!

    Everyone assuming Kirk will simply play ahead of DJ...what are you basing that on? 
    DJ not being particularly good? 
    Being played in his actual position tonight, he could have had 2 goals and should have had 2 assists? In one half
    Against Welling 
    This is how I'm coping with Gilbinho, we can all play that game 
    Denied a hat trick Leuth! This is where the goals are coming from!!

    The talk at the Valley today was that this midfield add attack tonight v Welling pus the defence and GK v Swansea will be the starting line up v Accrington.

    This feels like the most ‘Garner-esque’ performance of pre season.

    Not watching so how is Gilbey doing?

    All the talk was that he's really impressed Garner and will start.

    Chuks crocked.
  • Aneke down briefly 
    Protesting that he’s had to play more than 30 mins.

    That would make sense when I saw both DJ and Kirk were starting I wondered what was going on. 

    How many goals from midfield tonight so far ???

    Would be surprised with Aneke starting but he is better than Stockley. And surprising that there’s no Fraser and CBT but put them in for Gilbey and DJ/Kirk and it would arguably be our strongest 11

    Bet you Aneke won’t be available for 4 - 6 weeks.

    Anybody STILL arguing we don't need another striker? Aneke will never be a reliable second striker, he just can't stay fit.

    We needed one when Davison was still at the club, that's one striker gone, and another injured. Surely we'll bring someone in, SURELY

    JFC stays and Gilbey converted into a false 9?
