They shoot just over

I can't figure out what our plan is?

Meyer is over playing the balm all the time and they should have scored then

According to the BBC, we've had 9 shots, 3 on target - that's not "nothing going forward", Nick.

Poor first half. Hiwula poor. The London CCFC simpleton might revisit his view. Hiwula offers nothing generally

Our plan is to spend half of the season having great first halves and shitty second halves. As soon as the opposition figures it out (Today?) We switch it up, have a shitty first half and score 4 in the second

Only sterling forced an easy save

It's very much nothing going forward compared to them in that half

Well it's all very sedate and nice isn't it, we don't look geared up to win football matches. Care home football

It's pointless having 1 there like that. Just nothing at all

Bright has gone on runs and nothing there at all

We need to hold tight the first few minutes.

Really hope we come out with a bit about us the second half

Quite like the look of meyler...at least he plays it forward. Might tire second half. For all our huff and puff they have had the better chances. Burge one fantastic save and a couple they could have converted. Shipley and bright need just to be half second quicker in their decision making and passing.
Bit like last week...dominate possession first half but!!!!
Like their number 9...everything sticks....,unlike hiwula.

They have 1 forward - the difference is he’s a forward not some powder puff lightweight

Bright over eloborates all the time. He’s always trying too many touches and never looks to go forward or shoot

Bright has had some good touches same as meyler Hiwula yet again anonymous Westbrooke looking decent too Thomas quiet they look dangerous on the break we dont. Lets hope they dont come out for the 2nd half like the last few weeks once again the game is there for the taking but we dont really look dangerous so far

We’ve managed to work out the perfect formula for tapping the ball around and conning people into thinking we’ve been playing well. This is shite.

For all our intricate footwork and play we have not truly threatened Gillingham. They seem comfortable and even look dangerous on the break. They are playing league 1 football and we continue to play as though we are Chelsea - not effective in League 1. nstead of trying to walk it in the net we must do the basics and get a cross in for players to get on the end of.
it's still obvious to me we are missing a finisher who can take a half chance. Gillingham will continue to pack the defence and frustrate us if we continue with intricate football trying to dance it into the net.

Regardless of the fact there is one there is one who looks like 0.5, he isn't doing anything to cause their back 4 any problems. Where is the movement?

Agreed, why take 2 touches when you can take 8. How exciting you've beat a player in our half

Don't agree on the poor first half. Quite enjoyed it. We look decent in possession and Meyler and Westbrooke have impressed me. Bright is great on the ball as well. I do agree that Hiwula has not featured so much - would like to see AB on and Bright much further forward.

They also have runners when he gets the ball.

We put a cross in to hiwula and 4 of their defenders.

Hiwula isn't a target man

All there attacks have been down out right. It will be interesting if the switch this half as we look very weak on the left

He needs to do that on the edge of their box then shoot

Chaplin Baka and Bayliss for Hiwula Bright and Westbrook should be the subs.
