Not great. Needs to be better second half to break them down. RHM's pace might help.

Let’s hope Flynn can get them motivated for the second half.

We are going to need a bit of quality or RHM ‘unpredictability’ to get anything from this.

Young off for RHM I think. Been far too slow, RHM has pace, and can add some chaos to their back line as I’m not entirely convinced even he knows what he’s doing next.

That bottled header from Shade on the half way line is unforgivable

Agreed! That really irritated me!

At the moment, and it could all change, the difference between the two teams is the desire of the defenders to defend.  Gillingham have put in extra effort to either block the cross, attack the cross or the edge of the box.  On the flip side, four of our players watched while taking a sip of tea and a biccy while their player got a shot off (of those four, Minturn can at least claim he was the last one, so the others should already have closed him down).

It's all a bit too pleasant.  I haven't watched much of the last three or four games, this seems a lot less intensive than the start of the season.

Best chance was probably the volley from Young. Some half-chances as well. Though those dried up a little once Gills started to sit back.

We were trending towards toothless by the end of the half, and look ripe for a counter attack.

Need the rub this half to get a result.

We started slow then gained momentum to become the better side then an absolute fluke puts us behind. Seen just about enough of us going forward to feel we can get back in it. Plenty of crossing opportunities,a couple of decent ones second half could reap benefits.Kemp needs to establish himself in this game I think as Khan and McEachran are winning their fair share of ball. Come on ,we can do this

We do seem to have lost a bit of the early season intensity. Hate to say squad size and schedule but it does seem likely.

A combination of the ball not falling for us, being too slow and ponderous and a rare Kemp stinker.

Plenty to play for if we can up the intensity.

Young is trying too hard to make it happen…

Think teams are also setting up differently and less expansive against us now

Definitely a factor, but I feel that FBT and Dokes are much closer to normal CBs than they were earlier in the season. How much of that is wingers playing high and forcing them and how much is our own tactical adjustments to try to ship fewer and how much is tiredness... well, choose your own agenda I guess.

Just need a bit of luck and we will be well back into the game, just have a fucking shot and dont hit high deep crosses that the huge defence will mop up all night long.

After 60 mins get RHM on and play the ball on the floor quickly and we will get goals. Just dont let them hit us on the counter.

Agree in general, except that Dokes has played a fair amount of that half in Kemp’s position!
