Another classic garner decision.. What the hell has Garner got to do with it? He didn’t sign him, never had him available due to injury - although spoke highly of him - and had left the club long before the decision to send him out in loan.

Yes, but knowing that Davies was injury prone, why did he let Tony Craig go.

On the face of it those 2 with kilgour & Harries and then Davies to come back from injury gave us plenty of strength in that position.

On the face of it those 2 with kilgour & Harries and then Davies to cone back from injury gave us plenty of strength in that position. I agree. I don’t think anyone thought Ehmer would be as bad as he is. Baldwin came with pretty poor reviews but Ehmer and Kilgour should have been a decent partnership. I actually thought Davies looked decent when he was fit. Still, you are only as good as your strikers and they are gash.

They made made the same mistake as previous Rovers managers, Holloway let Tillson go, relegated. Trollope let Elliot go, relegated.

Possibly, but as sad as it is all players reach an age when they can no longer offer what they could. Not saying that’s the case with these 3 but at some point we were going to have to live life without them. The challenge is replacing with the same quality - had we got the Max Ehmer Gillingham fans said they had in the last few seasons no one would have mentioned Craig this season.

You can’t say that it’s not allowed.

I thought Craig started most games? Crawley's season seems to have hit the buffers once they sold their star striker for a £1m(?) since then they've hardly won a game but before that looked a good bet to make the Playoffs.

Yep, they have only scored more than 1 goal once since Watters left, and that was against 10 men.

He struggled all year with balls over the top and he would have been even worse this year.

He read the game well, could actually head a ball and showed passion when leading the team, fans generally like to see those kind of attributes in their centre backs.

We’ve missed Craig the leader more than Craig the player, can’t argue with that. We bought 2 younger CBs in with plenty of league 1 experience who had both previously captained their side, but for whatever reason it just hasn’t worked.!

Most the Gillingham fans on the league 1 page, said they were not sad to see him go. They said he struggled, unless he had some one doing a lot of the work for him and that they would rather lose him, than there other be centre backs. I thought it might have been sour grapes, but now I think it wasn’t. It was our fans that rated him highly.

I don’t follow that page so wasn’t aware of that, but on their forum there was barely a negative word said about him... forums.vitalfootball.co.uk/threads/ehmer-gone.106585/

I remember some posters on there saying he was carried by their other defensive players and was a liability. Seems we got that Max Ehmer.

So many warnings from Torquay fans and I thought it was sour grapes as he did so well there but they were spot on. You can usually tell the fans with sour grapes and the genuine ones. Something I've noticed is most are genuine and worth listening to. Sometimes some players just suit certain teams or managers though so always need to keep an open mind also.
