IMHO. The problem with the referee v Gillingham was the inconsistency which he applied to challenges where he had to judge which were foul play or just part of the ‘physicality’ of the game. The Gills players did play in quite a spoiling manner and this made it difficult for the referee and for Stanley to overcome.
It took that excellent defence splitting pass from Liam Coyle and the powerful run of Tyler Walton to break the pattern. Tyler finished the move superbly to score a goal that deserved to win the match. However, we creaked under the strain from Gills excellent corner kick to make it 1-1.
I thought that there was a lot to be pleased about in the way Stanley performed and we have nothing to fear if the Gills performance is representative of the teams fancied for promotion.
