    We still try this passing out from the back and individually our players skill levels not up to it.
    Just look at how many passes go straight to Gillingham players. 
    Also if our play has the ball he is not good enough to beat the man closing him down.

    It's clear we need a big partner for May. I like how we're set up but we've no aerial threat.

    I assume we might need to adapt until Miles Leaburn is fit unless we are going to get another central striker in who is a six footer.

    Very suspect at the back... Gillingham's finishing has seriously let them down, it should be 1-1 - But they clearly cant hit the side of a Caravan let alone a goal

    Lapslie misses a great chance to level for Gills, we have slipped up a bit with our defensive duties

    That was a pen.

    Sloppy last 10 minutes, lack of experience in the backline showing

    If he had gone down maybe...

    Brewer looking like a non league player one minute then saves like a championship one the next. 
  • AlgarveaddickAlgarveaddick
    Better move that. 
  • ForeverAddicktedForeverAddickted
    Ooo should be 2-0 despite it being primarily Gills now.

    Good save to deny Campbell but we have a corner

    May, Asiimwe and Campbell combine well there, Campbell needs to lace it there really,

    Did Charlie Methven and Jim Rodwell start chanting "Charlton Reject"?

    I have not seen enough of Asiimwe defending to feel like he's ready to play regularly in the league, but the boy has a good touch and he is very cool in the attacking third. I don't know if this season will be his big breakout or if it will be next season, but he looks like he's going to be a regular in our side.

    Without a pre season may be a good while before Leaburn can start.

    Another Gills corner, equaliser a matter of time unless we tighten up 
  • Dazzler21Dazzler21
    Half a team of young uns. 

    Really think we need another 4-5 permanent additions. Hopefully Isted gets second half in sticks.

    They've been saying "eye sted" in pre season so far

    1-1... Lovely free kick, AMB couldnt do much

    Deserved equaliser

    Bit of a needless foul from Dobson on the edge of the area, as the pass to Lapslie had seen him gone wide of the area

    What a decent free kick. Brewer should probably have been over a bit further.

    I was looking at that wall and thought that free kick was always going to go in for some reason. 
  • eastterrace6168eastterrace6168
    Free kick and and equaliser for Gills 1-1...on the cards for some time, come on Reds sharpen up

    Keeper should ALWAYS stand in the middle.

    Of course. One of SE7's new investors.

    Need Payne to push up more, not involved enough defensively. Do we have a more defensive option? 
  • Clem_SnideClem_Snide
    Decent enough freekick, but hardly a rocket. AMB looked very flat footed there. TBH we have looked pretty ropey defensively so no surprise that it's all square.
  • msomertonmsomerton
    Gillingham on top because they are making more 25 to 30 yard passes forward from the half way line and our guys seem always to be out of position surprised by the long ball.
  • SouthbankSouthbank
    If we start the season with only May as a striker, I can't see us making much impact on League One defences.
  • Dazzler21Dazzler21
    Ref mistaken here. Gives a GK for a blatant corner. 
  • ForeverAddicktedForeverAddickted
    Referee has just given a Goal Kick to Gillingham when their player clearly just cleared the ball off Campbell.

    Good to see the referees will be putting in some strong performances this coming season
