Fair point 1066 but we didn't do what Steve Evans said and it's all very well having possession but if you don't make it count results like last night's will continue unabated.

Sad thing is we have good players for the division we are in .....

I agree. I just don't buy the "smallest budget in the league" moniker we keep being given. Honestly, given a choice for a club of our size in the division we are in, I would bite your arm off to have Dempsey, Graham and Lee in midfield, Samuel up top and even Ogilvie and Tucker at the back. I would even say Bonham is a good 'keeper at this level.

The commentators said that we would have to make the game ugly to win and we didn't, we don't have the players to do that and I'm glad. They sat deep and broke quick, scoring from the few shots they had. They battled hard and stopped up playing. I thought a flailing arm broke Lee's nose but it was a gash and Ogilvie had blood pouring through a bandaged head. Akinde got a yellow card for jumping to head a ball when being prevented from jumping by a Lincoln player holding down his shoulder. It was that sort of match.

Oh, and by the way, I watched the match, I watched the poor 2-2 with Rochdale, I watched the woeful 0-1 with Burton. I didn't watch the 4-1 win at Rochdale or the 4-1 win at home to Crewe or the decent 2-2 at Sunderland. Clearly I need to stop watching Gills matches!

I KNEW it was your damn fault, hahahaha. I agree with you,I think we have some good players and I know others don't agree with me , but if someone from say Southend didn't know the score and just watched the game without seeing the goals, I swear especially in the first half they would have said Gillingham will win this match.
Talking of Southend, hahaha, what the hell has happened to them ?

What often happens to sides when they get into a bad situation which coincides with poor runs of results and you just cannot stop it. There are a fair few sides in the Conference that suffered the same fate. The same happens with sides doing well. These things can disregard stature entirely. Tiny sides like Burton have rode the crest of a wave into the Championship whilst big "Premier League" sides such as Sunderland, Hull, Blackpool, Wigan and Bradford find themselves languishing after something at the club results in a relegation then they can't stop another.

You can spend what you like trying to gain or avoid but it cannot beat an unstoppable run.

A 0-3 defeat,but watching on the day pass I thought we played well.We had more chances than them,but the difference was they were clinical.The harsh penalty knocked the stuffing out of us.I don’t think it was a 0-3 defeat game at all.You can see why Lincoln are up there though,as they’re quick on the counter,and clinical when it matters.
