List !

I thought the keeper was at fault for a very weak pass, poor lad had no where to go.

Simply speaking Evans will get rid of the original group one by one.

Apart from Fuller who he has clearly taken a shine to, Ehmer who he made Captain, Byrne who is keeping out his summer signings and Hanlan who some have called to be dropped in favour of Mandron.

If he was leaving out or selling our player of the year or proven talents then I’d agree with you. But for years we’ve been weak and non-competitive and a key reason for that is the players we had. Evans has identified who is worth keeping and who isn’t. If we had, say, Pulis as manager, I doubt he’d have disagreed much with Evans’ choices.

Does anyone else think this ought to be made into a Ken Russell rock opera film with Roger Daltrey playing the popular, fleet-footed hero?

Just needs a snappy title but I'm buggered if I can think of one.

Mcvicar , he was good on his toes.
Not sure about Ken Russell though ?

 

[GillsBluenose]

But he’s not Garmston!

And nobody is as quick as Garmston - the one asset you need to be an all round footballer, even if you keep over running the ball and can't tackle.

Wind your neck in Kettners, your behaviour’s not been good enough this last couple of weeks.

 

[The Roone]

There must be a reason why both Lovell and Evans didn't Garmston. Does he have an attitude problem?

 

[Gfc4eva]

List asked to leave to play more regular, Evan's wanted him to stay according to the official website

The old squad wasn't great - but is the Evans squad better ?
League 1 players can show flashes of inspiration ... and then frustratingly, show why they remain League 1..

Evans is showing all the hallmarks of an autocratic boss.
Is he a "bully" who puts loyalty before ability ?
Does he lack lack confidence to train existing players?

His idea of "motivation" seems to be constant micro-management .... in a hostile, visibly petulant manner - often throwing up his arms dismissively.
Surely criticism should be behind close doors ?

Martin Allen was "loud" - but mostly far less critical, much more encouraging.

 

[sunnyinkent]

My honest opinion is we have a better squad, my opinion is we definitely have better management, guess time will tell.

 

[SE1_Gills]

Can anyone who sits by the dug outs give insight into what was being shouted during the game?

 

[Broncos77]

Sorry to see List squeezed out by Evans; but think this move will do him a lot of good. Hope he has a good Lge 1/2 career
Looks like Hanlan the next to be demoralised by bad management and let go (after Garmston tomorrow?)

 

[Baghdad_Rob]

Sorry to see List squeezed out by Evans;

That is a weird view. List played in all four league games this season and was only rested like a few others for the cup match. It is a weird form of squeezing someone out by playing them.

It's not being demoralised that would block anyone's career.
If it's a striker , it would be a lack of ability to score enough from chances.

Ah, but if our strikers fail to convert chances then it is the fault of the midfield for not creating any.

What?

Listy was played in all games and we actually SOLD him (which I find amazing and quite welcome).

And both he and Evans have been very complimentary in the “departure interviews”.

And how is Hanlon being squeezed out? Again he’s played all games. There are a lot more fans calling for him to actually score and moaning about him not being up to it. If we do get another striker in today you’d think it will be Hanlon that drops out, but he’s not been forced out by any means. If he’d scored a few he’d be 1st picked.

I'm puzzled as to why List seemed to be played out of position so much. Under SL, he was often played in a sort of nondescript striker's role and, coincidentally, it was pretty much the same under SE - top of the diamond or something. Playing out wide he was more effective but when he did he rarely got the service he needed. Against Blackpool, he had two threatening runs - one each down the right and left wing. Talking of 'left' he left defenders for dead on both occasions but only two occasions was not enough to make him effective. I hope he gets a better deal at Stevenage...........
