That's the end of our season. Completely threw away our outside playoff chances today and a completely undeserved win for an average Oxford side who resorted to the long ball football they supposedly reject to get their win. At 2-0 after 72 minutes we need to see that out, but let in an unnecessary goal almost immediately. Let outselves down there I'm afraid.

 

[valenciagill]

I hope we don’t regret that.

Agreed
It's all gone quiet over there ....

 

[londongills]

Oh dear. Oh well, there’s always next season.

Referee and SE having words at a distance, from what I could see that’s not going to be good for SE

Football!! Don't you hate it?

What’s Evans not happy with today then regarding the refereeing?

 

[jimbogills]

I stuck a fiver on Oxford to win as soon as we went 2-0 up to try and mitigate the inevitable disappointment. Didn't seriously expect it to come in!!

 

[RotherhitheGill]

Nothing wrong with that ref. All our failings were our own.

At the end of the day, a reasonable season. Unfortunately, with our resources and probable lose of players, I do not see how we can improve.

Dunno. Beyond the usual mauling for Oliver without getting anything seemed like a fairly average L1 ref performance to me.

Referee had a good game in my opinion

Yes, unfortunately that has been the case since first relegated from the Championship. Need more investment to push higher up League 1 to become a genuine promotion contender.

 

[Colburn]

What a kick in the balls that was. Game should have been won at 2-0. We had TEN corners 2nd half. How can we never score from them?

 

[Captainreblue]

Football!! Don't you hate it?

It's the hope that kills you.

At 2-0 up we should be managing the game from there a lot better but as soon as they scored, straight away the whole game momentum changed.

 

[madrid_gill]

Ironically, at half-time on the Oxford forum they were saying it was game over as an Evans side wouldn't let it slip from 1-0 up.

 

[shotshy]

Oxford were jammy but us sitting off was our downfall

 

[valenciagill]

After 50+ years of supporting Gills , you won't see me commenting too much before the final whistle.
My experience of disappointment forbids me.

 

[EagerExile]

Let's face it, we've had a decent season, but we're not quite good enough - yet. Too many slip-ups at the wrong time. Let's build on this and have a real good go next time.

my sentiments entirely, posted something similar on wrong thread. it can be a proper **** at times.

 

[The Roone]

'There is always next season' is what almost every lower league supporter at this time of year.

 

[Straightbat]

As ever flattering to deceive...usually in a turn around after some good results, before starting to flatter again. Today actually during the game.
