How could Northpants beat us , we had a shot on goal, what the hell , that's all we need isn't it Mr Evans , 55% of the play ,and one shot on goal, surely worth a win ? Northpants a team that up until today had lost 4 in a row and had conceded almost twice as many goals as they have scored and they whip the Gills asses.

Awful. All the stats pointed to a decent win if we applied ourselves. It seems we create little in a couple of games but have a game where we dominate and repeat the process. Not going to get anywhere like that and not helpful the players saying we are on a roll etc when the next game we allow the side to take all the chances.

Frustrating to perform like we did after the win at Rochdale the week before.The defending was poor,and Conceding the third goal just after we started the second half killed us.Fingers crossed that we can start the year well at Plymouth.
