Gillingham FC Forum

Yesterday's tactics were bizarre. 3 or 5 at the back AND with a type of diamond in midfield. We apparently were VERY narrow with Martin behind Eaves and Parker and Hessy and Byrne either side. Hardly any surprise Bury found loads of space to quickly get 2 up but, when we changed it, they didn't score again. So did we set up that way because they were the only players we had available (Reilly was barred from playing against his parent club). If so, why did we bring in Moussa,Nasseri and Murphy?

Murphy has been at the club for 6 games and not been included in any squads. Nasseri has been there for 7 games and has been an un-used substitute once (Bury) whilst Moussa has been the most "successful" having played 18 minutes from his 7 games at the club. Not sure why we brought them in if they are not even going to get on the bench.

Money ,you think only the members of FIFA take bribes, time we looked at OTHER PEOPLE me thinks. ?? Gillingham are safe,or as good as, Bury's owners would sell there souls to stay in Division 3, sorry just thinking out aloud. Hang on Gillingham have just substituted there leading scorer and replaced him with Wilkinson, a player that has scored 2 goals this season , way to go Space Telescope ,replace a guy that has scored 14 goals with a guy that last scored about three months ago.
Lets ask Mr Scally and the Space Telescope why this substitution took place. Hello, Hello, anyone there, seems they have gone to Holland for a long weekend and are in a hotel in the De Wallen district, maybe we will be able to catch them when they get back to Harwich on Tuesday evening ?

At the moment they look like cover signings in case we get injuries or suspensions to player`s like Eaves,Parker,or Byrne.Jesse Starkey was a strange signing!

If you look at all four of these guys Starkey, Moussa, Nasseri and Murphy, they SHOULD be good players,they have pretty good pedigrees, being taken on by teams like Manchester Utd, Chelsea Charlton,(haha) when they were younger, and I am sure were not paying them much. Their all young and maybe starting to understand this could be there last chance of league footie ?
Of course on the other hand they might have been bought in to replace the players that would be sold if we had been relegated this season ?
