Re: Gillingham (H) match thread

We've become so used to winning that defeat comes as a bitter pill.
Sometimes you have to take it on the chin & accept that the best team won.
The Gill's were stronger, quicker & more skilful today & deserved the points.
Their movement, especially off the ball, was lightning quick & their passing fast & accurate.
Stanley by comparison were nervous, pedestrian & oh so predictable, especially on set pieces.
Our forwards were never in the game today, largely due to the Gill's domination of midfield.
There were times in the first half where our defence was all at sea & the marking for their goals was abysmal. The scoreline could have been much worse.
No one in red had a good game today, but those who are pointing the finger at Maxted for this defeat are quite frankly deluded.
Last season we played like a League 1 team. Today we looked very much League 2.
