I just don't understand how we can play so well going forward on Tuesday and pick the same team on Saturday, but then clearly decide to sit back and play none of the same football. We take Horgan off to shut up shop and see the game out, and then immediately invite the sort of pressure that leads to their goal.
That was all wrong, what a disaster - back out of the playoffs with us. We need to beat Wednesday.
So we have Plymouth H and Wimbledon A before playing Wednesday, and they have MK A and Crewe H - not at all out of the question that we go into that game ahead of them. And I hate it.
But we're alright for depth with Young, Wheeler and Gape (he's close, right?). I'm sure someone said they spotted Thompson on crutches, though, which is obviously less than ideal...
I don't think that's a bad result, this was always going to be tough against a fired up Gillingham. What is bad, is the injury to Mehmeti and the 3 game ban for Wing.
4 points from 2 away games and we're still right in the mix. Don't think Plymouth will fancy coming to us on Friday at all.

I think you’re doing a massive disservice to Gillingham.
It wasn’t pretty but they won the physical battle that we knew was inevitable. It’s extremely hard to play the kind of passing football that we’ve been playing recently when the opposition are so up for it and in yer face.
The result was a fair one and liveable. But to lose key players - one for all but the last game and one with injury - is going to make life very difficult. Let’s hope Mehmeti’s injury is not serious and that Jack Young proves an able replacement for Lewis Young.

Plymouth draw & Portsmouth lose

surely that is not allowed....
Still in our hands with the Wednesday game
Can we retire this kit immediately? We seem to play so uninspired in it...
Buggeration
Wing clearly got the ball didn't he?

Irrelevant if it's a dangerous tackle
Losing Wing for 3 games is an absolute disaster.
Do we still have Pendlebury? On loan somewhere?
Plymouth could yet finish outside the top 6. Their final 4 games are very difficult indeed. Next week is massive.
Pendlebury is on loan at Woking, not sure if we can recall
Didn't we just win 4-1 away in it?

That was the red and white quarters
Lewis Wing
Should have put the washing machines on quick wash and shirt spin.
I’ve watched it a few times now and it’s just not dangerous. He gets the ball and half a second later the Gills player falls over him.
Even short spin!
Taking some hope from the fact Sunderland still have to go to Plymouth
He's flown in with both feet off the ground
And Plymouth have to come to us
But on the ball. There was no Gills player in any danger.
It wasn't a tackle because the opposition player wasn't there. Wasn't studs up either.
I really like what I’ve seen of Young and Pendlebury
But wings are specifically designed for flying!
Interesting that I invented a hybrid player in my response to @therabbittest above. Lewis Young indeed!
