4 nil and a clean sheet, we put the game to bed as they were having some pressure so it’s good too see we had the extra gears once required.

Some players of ours looked a class above and others didn’t, hopefully it tells Wilder a thing or 2.

Here’s hoping for a favourable draw next round, avoid PL teams and the pigs.

Little kid runs in saying "mam, im confused, the man on the telly just said Sheffield United four, i thought their name was Sheffield United nil?

I know it's Gillingham but both the team and players needed that yesterday. Everyone did their job. Good to see RND back, Ben looks an upgrade on Benie, JLT looked commanding in defence and some well earned goals for Will Osula.

Stayed relatively dry but after the long journey home found the road closed just a couple of miles from home due to the mighty Trent flooding and had to take a 2 hour detour!

So he isn’t a waste of a slot as a striker then is he if he’s the best option we have.

Sorry to hear about your delay, that's a right pain. Agree about the result though. It's just nice to play well and win games, whoever it is against.

that 3rd goal you have to wonder what was going off with gills defence organisation. it was like us v burnley

Absolute pinpoint pass by Norwood. You can see him down on his knees eyeing the camber of the pitch and the gap twixt the defenders. Just like a snooker player eyes the baize or a top golfer reads the green.

That pass was akin to Jason steering the Argo through the clashing rocks, but without a giant Poseidon to hold them apart. Pure class.
