Trying to do too much sometimes and run it in with 1 extra pass.

Sounds like a big improvement since Blackpool.

Not tested the keeper though, mostly blocked on the edge of the area because we don't do it quick enough or try an extra pass.

Promising so far though! Much improved.

Nope, can't be having that.

This is the worst team, with awful players and Robins has lost the dressing room.

Someone must be sugar-coating the info coming through.

If nothing else, we seem to have found a much better shape. What I hope is that Gillingham don't tweak their formation and we don't deal with that. Hopefully it will be more of the same with a goal or two for us! Much better (although if we lose by a goal the usual suspects will come on and pretend we haven't put in an improved performance)

No denying we have been so much better, need to get a goal early though else I have that feeling it might be a smash and grab 1-0 win for them when they don't deserve anything

We have dominated this game. We just need to finish it off! Gillingham are relying on hoof ball and the odd cross. bayliss has looked a class above, Thomas looks quick and exciting too. JCH doing well if slow to react. Doyle having a good game as too Andreu. Can't complain other than the lack of a goal.

Promising first half. Could have scored 3, could have conceded a couple too. It's reminded me very much of the L2 games last year against direct opposition. Midfield 4 have been good. Doyle's hoovered up the knock downs from their long balls and Shipley and Thomas have got between the lines and beyond JCH at times. Bayliss has been a bit scattergun with his passing but he has plenty of space to run into so hasn't looked out of place in the middle. Gillingham's full backs look suspect - think Thomas and Shipley will have a lot of influence on how the 2nd half goes.

Might be begging for Allisanni on about 70 minutes too.

Sounds much better than Tuesday night. Just hope we can go on and win this. If not a draw wouldn’t be a disaster.
Doing ok without sterling or ogogo.

Sounds like there’s a danger we’ll rue those missed chance but I should think our bench could do some damage when coming in against tired defenders.

Sounds much better than midweek. Lets hope they can keep it up in the second half and get the 3 points.

Hiwulla and Allisanni would cause them a few issues. Will just have to see how it goes in the first 20 minutes.

Get in, straight from kickoff and a great cross from Mason as well!

Mason has had a great game.

JCH has deserved that.

Does a goal straight from kick off count as a set piece or open play?
