Agree entirely with this. Leigh was consistently bypassed as we targeted Josh. Have no problem with Andrews as the target man, he's a big and mobile lad who can hold his own. But if the aim was for Tommy to link with Josh, and with both Jack and Sean on the wings, it just didn't work, we were rarely a threat on the Gillingham goal. It seemed a waste of Tommy's attributes. That said, Josh is a significant upgrade on Pressley and I'm sure he will play a big role in the months ahead. Also a mention for Brad Hills, a class act in the centre of defence, he has a bright future in the game. As others have said, we are working things out at the moment. Talking to Gills fans after the game, they thought we were a big, handy and spirited side who would be okay. Let's hope they are right.
