First time I've watched Matt & very impressed with his enthusiasm, however, twice he said THE PRIESTFIELD! Will forgive you Matt if you don't do it again!I definitely agree with Matt it is time to bring in a natural goalscorer from the National league. We have enough Billy big boots type players. We need a few down to earth players who see Gillingham as a step forward. Of course the scouting needs to be right.
We saw enough good things from Hurtado to make him worth a punt.
But as someone else noted a few weeks ago, if Watford saw any footage of how Swindon tried to deal with him, they might have second thoughts about loaning him out into League Two again.
I’d love to see him back every time he got the ball the place was buzzing imagine him fully fit with a full pre season behind him
I thought Bridge was a youngster as well, but he is 28 so if he is not ready now, I doubt he ever will be.Bridge, though, I'm not sold. I agree he's direct at times, but from what I saw, a lack of pace and is very light on the ball. If it was in competition with Mahoney, fair enough - I think they're somewhat similar types of player, but I prefer Connor. I don't think we can play with both of them at the same time or again, we're no threat to go in behind...

The reason for the early output from Matt has been made fairly clear in the video. He wants to get then done so he has more family time during the summer. Matt's wife is a bit of a hero in my book.She has had a difficult tightrope to travel in recent times.I am sure there were times she wanted Matt to give it up.So please give Matt the benefit here these names would have taken time and a lot of hard work.I liked the video, it was well thought out and put together well, but that is almost a given with Matt. What I am certainly not sure of is the reasoning behind it. We haven't played our last game yet and already there are names coming forward to replace players who are, in all likelyhood, ocntracted to us until June the first or even longer.
Looking (and thinking) back at other threads of a similar ilk there have been so many names put forward who were nowhere near joining the club and most of those who did had nor been suggested by anyone. Let's put this season to bed, have a nice holiday and come back when the transfer period has actually started. Time enough to offer up the names of players we would really like to see wearing our kit.
I really don't want to put this or anyone down, it just gets a wee bit tedious, and at times downright bad tempered during the - let's call them - discussions/speculation as to whether player a or b is good enough added to the squad.
Clemence will hopefully have a lot more influence over who joins and how he wants the team plays next season. To date, I am not really conviced he is the man to take us forward however the Galinsons do have faith in him and I feel sure they will give him the tools he needs to make just about a new team. I also feel fairly certain his head will be on the chopping block PDQ if the season starts as badly as the last one.
