what a waste of a day and what a waste of money....stuck on the M25 for so long that a 70 mile journey turned into 3hrs 15 mins in the car!! An auspicious start to the day...
At least when we got there, parking was easy in Railway Street and only £1.40 for 4 hrs and only a ten minute walk from that lovely ground the Priestfield Stadium.
The announcer was a hoot.....food for all tastes and palates, lots of choice....yeah, right...
As for the match...
Long: shocking......couldn't kick properly, was stuck on his line repeatedly,horror error on the first goal, partly to blame on the second , where was he on the third? Made one good stop...compare him to Nelson in the Gills goal :1/10
McFadzean: repeatedly skinned, misread balls frequently and attacking-wise, poor too...not much positive I am afraid 2/10
Collins: oh dear.....I thought he would be better than what we had last year but ....headers all over the place, poor positioning, had a go at Long , slow......2/10
Skipper: as bad as Collins....and with his head down when the third and fourth went in...he is supposed to be the leader ..very poor game 2/10
Freeman: what was up with him? Kept losing control of the ball, was defensively weak and attacking wise added little 3/10
Woolford: did he do anything? Looks slow, did not add owt....2/10
Baxter: a couple of nice passes but of no danger, skinnier than last season , strolls around...we need more in the middle than he gives 2/10
Murphy: it was a bit windy at times and he was clearly struggling to stand up...meshed tackles, was easily nudged off the ball and missed a a decent chance...no steel or desire 2/10
Basham: was hardly in the game, tried to do a few things in attack but he was poor too...lack of heart or just his teammates? 2/10
Sharp: started ok, scuffed a shot when he made room for himself, poor try at the end...will have better days 3/10
Che: tried and had a few dubious tackles on him, started off ok them got dragged down with the rest 4/10
Sammon: hopefully he can play better than this....not impressed 2/10
Reid: as much as I laughed when we brought him and Scougall on when we were losing the midfield fight, he did well...showed some desire, got some balls in.....5/10
Scougs: hardly had a touch n/a
All in all a team without desire,fight, skill, organisation...I could not believe what I was watching..Gillingham had players who wanted the ball, who could dribble and beat their man, they were strong, always first to the ball....why can't our players be like that ? They looked dangerous every time they came forward.....and Bradley Dack....Baxter should take a look at how he played....very very busy, in attack and defence, good vision, and great goal...outstanding! Quite rightly clapped by our fans when he scored.
We were dire and I won't apologise for booing this time.......I am still shaking my head in disbelief.We need a lot of new players in key positions and WE fans know where those are, don't we
