This is one very , very, pathetic Gillingham team, led by a pathetic manager who is so far out of his depth it's a joke. He was OK when he was a member of the gang of three, on his own he is a waste of space. Get rid of him NOW,were running out of time,NINE GAMES LEFT, thats 27 points available , with Lovell in charge there is a very good chance that except for Bradford and Wimbeldon just about any team below us could easily overtake us and send us into Division 2.
So often I read Gillingham...SHOTS ON TARGET 1 or 2 and thats in 90 MINUTES jjjeeezzz what a joke,isn't there one player on the entire team with a canon for a foot who could kick a few hard balls at the goal and force the keeper to make a save or perhaps even dare I say it SCORE A GOAL ?
Where are we next..... Luton ,wonder what odds I can get that we don't score and go down by 3 or 4 goals ?

Apparently Steve Evans has watched the last 3 or 4 games we have played. I'll be shocked if he takes over after watching for so long. I'll be even more peeved if he gets the job.

I don't care who takes over , BUT SOMEONE HAS TO AND QUICK, LIKE....TODAY. I am sorry Lovell is NOT the man for the job at Gillingham FC, he should have been let go at Christmas.
Like him or loath him, Evans wins more than he loses where ever he has been of late,so give him a contract today for the next 9 games then take it from there.
Evans is not going to take on the job at GFC full time if Scally has not promised him money for new players this summer, the team we are putting on the field at the moment is pathetic,there is no other word for it.
Good players want to win in any sport, if the manager gives them the chance to be successful then they will play hard for him,no one seems to play very hard for Lovell.

Thanks to FOM for letting me have his Curry prize,which was the best part of the night.I thought we were poor,and kept hoofing up the field which did nothing.Eaves was too far wide,and their keeper probably went home with a clean top.No home win on a Tuesday night since November 2015.Rovers first win at Gills for 20 years.The gap is three points below us,but Luton away next could make us drop back in.
Noircat Premier League Champion 2007,and 2014.Noircat FA Cup (Runner Up 2014).Promoted to the Premier League (Runner Up 2017,and 2020 in the Championship).
