Excellent watch. And good start from us.

 

[The Holy Spirit]

Crewe on top now

 

[AbsoluteCarnage]

They haven't played any football at all but they're shutting us down very effectively.

 

[shotshy]

Jonny is clearly struggling.
Hope this doesn’t age well.

 

[AbsoluteCarnage]

Very scrappy. Our delivery from dead balls has been dreadful.

 

[The Holy Spirit]

Don't know how Lapslie hasn't scored there

 

[AbsoluteCarnage]

Doing has to be careful at their corners. He and Turns were wrestling each other and not even looking at the ball.

 

[The Holy Spirit]

Solid first 10 mins and a decent chance for Dieng well saved by their keeper. Then nothing else happened.

Crewe seem a very well drilled side and you can see why they're up there, but thankfully it hasn't clicked for them going forward with lots of misplaced passes.

Jonny Williams hasn't been in the game at all. I wonder how fit he really is.

Wind behind us and attacking the Rainham End 2nd half

HT
Crewe look good on the ball sometimes.
We are not quite clicking, but look as though we actually might.

Don't know how Lapslie hasn't scored there

Guy cleared it off the line. I think he only got a little flick on the ball.
Looks like conditions are causing a few problems.
With the sun in their keepers eyes in the second half and Gills attacking the Rainham end its game on.

 

[shotshy]

Disappointing so far from Crewe.
They have a reputation as a footballing team and have pretty much resorted to long balls.
I’ve a feeling that Jonny may not last long in the second half.
He appears to be struggling.

 

[Gills 58]

Gills fail to score in first half SHOCK!!!
2 decent attacks. The rest has been disjointed and scrappy.

 

[Gills_Horse]

Got them to finally work

 

[madrid_gill]

Other results not going badly for us if we can get the win here. Only Barrow winning, but otherwise, Wimbledon and Walsall losing and Crawley being held by Doncaster.

 

[shotshy]

I don’t want to bang on about it but at the moment we are playing with ten men.
Clarke for Williams soon ….

 

[madrid_gill]

Crawley now losing to Doncaster. As things stand, we're back up to 7th

 

[AbsoluteCarnage]

We just never look in control of the ball.

 

[HullGills]

Crawley now losing to Doncaster. As things stand, we're back up to 7th

Adelakun the scorer.

 

[Lark]

Very scrappy so far, Crewe look to have come for a point and we are struggling to break them down. Subs needed I think .

 

[AbsoluteCarnage]

What a poor game, and the ref is going downhill with it.
