Gillingham v Swindon Pre Match & Match Day Thread

[Outletred]

Well that was terrible viewing

If we can’t beat ten men or even get a shot on goal when have a man advantage for 80 mins says it all

Wonder if Lindsey has the tactical noise to manage the game and get a win?

[Miles Mayhem]

Right Berniman I’ve had enough of that. YOUR DEMOTED

[Jimmy Quinn]

Six subs warming up at half time

[JoeMezz]

Lindsey out. Woeful

[theakston2k]

That was poor. A massive 45 minutes in the managerial career of Lindsey coming up.

[Whingy the poo]

Got radio on, Jesus we sound awful.  

Macdonald in an hour behind, they are down to ten men, we should be putting them to the sword.
Instead Gillingham are having the better chances.  

[Batch]

hmm passed well at times but never really threatened until the 45th minute.

look dodgy at back, levinier doing ok given first game

gills always going to pack defence but we don't seem to have the pace to pull them around

[adje]

I fail to see what Shade is in the team for. Absolute waste of space so far. Reed has no right to expect to be picked every game and Williams is our best option for me so far.Against 10 Wakeling should have touched the ball far more than he has. I hate to say we look clueless. Darcy I would say is an absolute must for the second half.

[Peter Venkman]

Reed, Shade and Gladwin should all be subbed at half time along with the Manager being demoted. 

Reed has looked very poor so far today again, Williams grew into the game after a pooor start, Gladwin has has some terrible passes but mixed with some sublime passes too, typical Gladwin.

Shade has disappointed me, almost every pass has been played backwards, Khan has looked excellent again today though.

Can't help but think that MacDonald is a fuck up waiting to happen though, but again at times he has also looked excellent.

Thats L2 though, some good, some bad, some very average, but thats why they ply their trade in L2.

[Riddick]

Yep I would give Reed a rest

The problem there is we have nobody in the squad that can play the Reed role, despite all these players (questionable recruitment?). Its been mentioned Aguiar can do it, but not a chance in hell from what i've seen of him, or when he replaced him in the last home game.

You have a choice with under performing players. Help them play their way back to form, or drop. Given lack of replacement, option 1 is only choice.

Macdonald continues to be a disappointment. Like many, I thought that he would be head and shoulders above everyone else right from the 'get go'. For a player with some higher league pedigree, he is more Grounds than Culverhouse.

[JBZ]

Did the home side really have no clear cut chances?

[Jimmy Quinn]

Good point about Macdonald expected more with his experience and fitness can't be used as an excuse anymore.

Reed can’t even play the Reed role this season.

Last season the Reed role was to pass it back and forth between himself and Conroy and wank over the passing stats. Cant do that this season, we need him to actually play football and he can’t.

[Miles Mayhem]

Could Darcy not play the Reed role?
