No idea to be honest Grendel. What I would say is that if Baka is played in partnership with Biamou (or Godden) and we keep creating chances in a 3-5-2 I think he'll score goals. Right now Baka is our top goalscorer with 4 goals with an average strike rate of 168 minutes (I admittedly had...

CCFC54321....as I've previously said anyone can snipe and be critical from the sidelines. You can make crass and abusive comments all you want about certain players - but just know that you have absolutely no idea as to the talent, skill sets, athleticism and vision required to make it in the...

I think they are slightly different players. Shipley offers us balance on the left hand side and I would say is the better athlete. More of a dynamo in midfield and has been very good this season in a midfield 3 - brilliant performance vs. Doncaster as an example. I see him evolving into a...

I agree with that Warwick. Bayliss was played out of position in my view last year in a midfield 2 with lots of defensive duties. Not his natural role and had a difficult season. I think that SkyBlueFaz is saying that Bayliss would fit in perfectly in our current midfield 3 - I also agree with...

I have to say you are the best example of a keyboard warrior/armchair critic who has never played the game at any level. To make it as a professional footballer as Bakayoko has done is something way beyond your own capabilities. You have zero understanding as to what it takes to play at L1...

Laughing. To be fair and honest though I can't see that Grendel scoring in any bar - after a couple of glasses of stout he'd no doubt be robotically repeating all night: 'Max didn't contribute in the promotion season and has never scored a headed goal. Oggy is useless on the radio. Baka is...

Well let's agree cc84cov that we all want Baka to do well and move onto the next game. I also agree that Godden is first choice and that his all round game has been impressive - I'm really looking forward to seeing Godden and Biamou paired together as God has been fighting a lonely battle up...

Fair. I just believe that on balance we've been unlucky not to convert a number of those draws into wins - and I'm positive we will start to do so. We have a foundation to build on this season.

Godden has missed easier chances than those presented today as has Hiwula. In fact Baka has scored much more difficult chances than Godden this season. Where is your criticism of Godden in this context? It seems you wish for events to fit into your own personal bias and then stick the...

So you don't rate Godden or Jodi Jones in terms of quality? Do you think Max's return to fitness has been anything less than impressive? We've sure had some bad luck with injuries to our forwards of but rather than acknowledge this you just want to put the boot into certain players with your...

Time for some perspective: -We've lost just two games this season. -In nearly all games we've played decent football and it's been great to watch. -We're 6th in the League and given our domination of most games I expect us to move higher as we convert draws into wins. -None of the teams in...

Like most sane people I focus on the game vs. reading posts during the game. It's glaringly obvious that you are more active on these boards post game with your usual negativity and putting the boot into individuals after we've not performed but pretty quiet generally when we've secured a...

Mind blowing hypocrisy even by your exceptional standards Grendel. I don't recall you ever putting your hands up and admitting that you are wrong in any situation. It's also amazing that you appear on these boards after we don't perform well and actually seem to be happier - so you can put...

One for the kids from the Gillingham bookshelves: 'Fat Bastard' by Steve Evans.

There's a new book out: 'Deep Pockets' by Jay Hickman.

I had to watch this incident on youtube just to see the unbelievable sight of Oggy sprinting against and keeping up with a fast striker! The situation was that Oggy was routinely clearing a back pass from outside the area. As ISB says for all his qualities Oggy was no Marosi with the ball at...

I stand corrected - I automatically blame Gouldy for some of the more bizarre management decisions!

Following on from the goalie thread: Best individual performance I saw was Shearer against us in one of his early games for Blackburn. Peak Shearer before he was injured and lost pace. A masterclass in centre forward play - he was unstoppable. Movement and technical skills on another...

You read my mind Blind Faith. Paddy Kenny was in goals against us for Sheffield United in the FA Cup quarter final at HR. That was the best display I have seen by a keeper at HR. We battered United that day but couldn't find a way past Kenny. He was outstanding. Resulting in that...

I think that's absolutely right Legia. Around that era I think there was a conspiracy theory about Scottish based players being favoured.
