May was tripped. What's soft about that?

The way he hit it?

msomerton

May needs to  practise  penalties.

Subs are stripped and ready to come on

Dazzler21

Anderson and Asiimwe both trying twists and turns as they look tired. 

Dazzler21

May punches the ball out after a poor pass floats out of play instead of to him.

Gillingham employing a weird tactic of taking quick throws and free kicks to stop us making subs

Dazzler21

Oh no May coming off goalless. Charltonised.

1-3 Payne after a nice counter attack

This is Payne's purpose. Not consistent enough to regularly start and affect games, but regardless of performance seems to pop up with goals and assists. You want him coming on with 15 minutes left in a game and a goal needed.

Callumcafc

Gillingham now making the rest of their subs and mass changes for CAFC too

Callumcafc

Charlton playing 433 for the last 20 minutes

Egbo - Bakrin - Ness - Roddy

McGrandles - Henry - Fraser

Jaiyesimi - Kanu - Kirk

Doh as I was working it out, Callum was furiously editing his line up.

Bakrin looking a bit shaky.

At least we came to the same conclusion… :-)

Dazzler21

Goodball forward from DJ who dropped into midfield to collect the pass and finds Egbo who put in a dangerous ball. 

Dazzler21

McGrandles scuffs an easy pass. Too many players that have come on have to stop the ball before playing it. Shows a lack of confidence. 

Dazzler21

Diving header from Isted - Like that.

He might stiffen up the back three

Dazzler21

Great work from DJ sees Egbo square for McGrandles who got a well driven shot off, but keeper is equal. 

Callumcafc

McGrandles popping up on the edge of the area like that is good to see

Dazzler21

Got to say Kanu doesn't seem to fit the 3 up top. 

Dazzler21

Obvious foul and Gills tap in an easy shot. Ref calls it correctly.
