5.30pm Kick off

[SteveTreacle]

Much better in the second half, but just as frustrating as we've let in a ridiculously poor goal through abysmal defending, when Accrington created nothing and have misseda handful of very good chances.

 

[jokerman]

We’re not very strong in the air, are we. Which is a bit of a problem.

 

[townendgill]

Send Drysdale back in Jan please SE.

 

[Rob_b100]

I have wondered what the management team see in Drysdale for the past 4 or so games. I am still wondering.

 

[Sturdy Gill]

Was that really a booking FFS

 

[Rob_b100]

I also think Akinde should’ve hit his shot earlier. He seemed to wait for it to sit perfectly. Should’ve hit it on the second bounce in my view.

 

[Lark]

For anyone playing Peter Lloyd Bingo, "Gentleman's Excuse-me" has just been ticked off!

 

[Captainreblue]

That's just basic fucking defending. It's about players taking responsibility and spotting or being aware of danger, all basic stuff and we repeatedly can't do it and more worryingly it's different individuals every week causing us issues by not doing said basics. No wonder SE is doing his tree, its simple stuff.We are far to easy and nice to play against.

Definitely one of Oliver's poorer games

 

[Gills 58]

Wonderful"shot" by Drysdale. Hilarious. Gave me a much needed good laugh.

 

[shotshy]

Definitely one of Oliver's poorer games

I said that Oliver was struggling physically earlier on.
I’m not surprised he’s off

 

[RotherhitheGill]

Drysdale - what a donkey, could pair him with Tommy Trublu

 

[townendgill]

Oliver off. One striker left on the pitch. We are 2-0 down at home.

 

[Rob_b100]

Drysdale appears to be up front now. I can just imagine SE shouting “ get in their box. See if you can unsettle their back 4 like you fucking have ours.....”

 

[shotshy]

Not much finesse but dominating
Still looking very vulnerable on the break

 

[markinkent]

"Could have put this to bed then"

Its the hope that kills you

 

[Sturdy Gill]

We are shite yet again (sorry) but no cohesion, tactics or ideas yet again tonight and I am usually optimistic

 

[Lark]

Eccles and Dempsey the only 2 to make a go of it in my view

 

[Gills 58]

We are shite yet again (sorry) but no cohesion, tactics or ideas yet again tonight and I am usually optimistic

Spot on. In my pre match score prediction I said my prediction of a win was madness given that Drysdale was playing. Not just his fault but he certainly played his part in this shambles.

 

[octopus]

Oh well. Fair play to Accrington. At least we give it a go in the second half. We go again on Saturday.
