Waking up after the red card and finally showing some desire to get on the ball when they parked their bus and allowed us to have it, should not detract from 70 of the poorest minutes I’ve seen in a crucial match in a long time.
There are posts saying we battered them second half. Yes we were unlucky not to get an equaliser. But overall we deserved what we got.
Something needs to change. I’m in the keep DC camp, always have been, but I’m starting to wonder what other option there is but for a change.
Gillingham are awful and we made them look a lot darn better than they are.

Does this need a new thread? |

It was after the sending off our tempo became more attack moded.... straight after kick off second half we started well, but faded quickly.
You have to say his players take their lead from the coaches and management team.
Over 90 minutes, it's unacceptable.

I was a bit dumb struck by quite a few fans clapping the players off at the end of the match.
Yes they did play well in the last 20 minutes, but that doesn't excuse the first 70 minutes!

Well booing at the end of every game clearly isn't working. If everyone starts pulling in the same direction it would be a good start. |

There was more booing at half time than full time
The first half was one of the most uninspired passages of football I've seen at the mem
Second half Payne seemed (finally) that he was up for it
He jumped a couple times which we haven't seen yet to any great extent
Sercs in the middle seemed to be back to his best and to my mind should play middle every week
Matthews showed some skill and delivery flair
Sercs, Matthews, Bennett all tried to impact
The last 20 mins was the way we need to play, with those players for 90 mins
Do that for next ten matches we don't have a problem , luck will be created with creativity on the pitch

Surely creating lots of pressure and chances at the end of the game, when the body is tired, especially after a run of quick games when the mood is low, signifies the fact that the players are trying hard for the manager, even if they are not playing well. I’m pleased they got clapped off. They haven’t given up on themselves or the manager and we haven’t given up on them. What experience of previous lows at the club have taught me is that the team never play better when the atmosphere in the stands is poisonous. It’s a horrible place to be as a fan when it’s like that, so it must be 10 times worse as a player. |

Whist I agree with that and was impressed with the way the players gave their absolute all in the second half I’m equally dissalusioned with how they played and the effort given in the first half. Personally I didn’t clap them off or boo I just walked out at the end. |

I was happy when the Gills went down to 10 men......I was confident at that point that we would be able to restrict them to just the two goals.

I believe we should drop the hapless Nichols and play Sercombe up front. He can shoot, he's tricky, he keeps hold of the ball, and he is hard to knock off the ball. I also believe he has played up front before. I would also play Broadbent against teams with BIG strikers. At the moment I think he is injured and yes he sometimes makes errors, but for him to get better then he should play on a regular baisis. he is also the only CH we have that can actually play the ball out rather than hoof it. DC has too many players, but we should keep those we can develop, like Broadbent and Rollin. It wont happen under DC

We are getting bad luck at the mo because we expect to get done up by lousy officials, it's a self-fulfilling prophesy. if the players are positive and go for it, the luck will follow, of that I'm sure. Nicholls needs to be dropped. Jakubiak should be given a run. If he doesn't score any goals, he won't do any worse than Tom. It's all very well DC saying he doesn't want to develop other people's players, so what's the point in signing them on loan? It'll get to the point where clubs tell DC to F off when he enquires about a player, and who would blame them? If DC had got his head out of his Arse and signed Telford, I doubt we'd be in his mess. I don't suppose Bury could have offered him more than us, plus he wouldn't have had on live/play in that shithole. |

Agreed, and I for one would never boo or shout abuse, but I wasn't going to clap the performance either. If they'd put the same effort in all game and still lost then yes I would of quite happily commended their efforts. |

Worrying thing for me is - DC said it was back to basics - hard work and no days off whilst we sit in the bottom 4. He was adamant there would be a reaction to the defeat on Saturday. Therefore you would think the team would come out really fired up after all their hard work since Saturday with DCs words ringing in their ears. I'm shocked and disappointed they came out flat with no passion or fire and played awful in that first half. That has to be worrying.

For me, the most worrying comment from DC was that he did not think we were flat in the first half. How can he correct things if that's his benchmark? |
