A few players were a bit absent last night (Grant, Procter, Miles and McConville) but I'm not bothered about that one bit; it'll just be the lack of games taking its toll. Come the semi-final they'll be unbeatable. We missed Joyce in midfield; Procter and Ryan play much better when he's in the team. We have really got to start taking those chances that we create when we're in our stride. We would've gone one down were it not for a superb point-blank stop by Bouzanis. That said, I don't think Gillingham ever really threatened and looked like a defeated side from the off; a shadow of the team we played last season. I thought Michael Symes was magnificent; every time the ball was put in his direction there'd be three/four Gills players on his back and yet he still managed to move the play on. If he'd got the ball out of his feet a little earlier with his chance late on in the game he would've got the reward he deserved. Needless to say the back four did their job yet again. Jeff must be sitting somewhere perplexed and speechless (we
have a defence, we
are dangerous!). The feeling at the end of the game was utter elation. We're in the
fourth bloody round of the FA Cup! Crikey. Well done John. Well done Jimmy. Well done Red men. Well done Mark Patterson for chasing down a time-wasting Gill and getting our throw taken. Saturday is going to be good, no matter what. I can't bloody wait.
