Danny Ings is a striker Grimps

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

As always thanks to those who helped get the game on:) as well as all those who give their free time to help the Club:)

As others have said nice to see their efforts thanked on the Club Website you are all such an integral part of the Club.

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

No chance we will get Ings, who needs him anyway with super Michael Smith :)

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

Well said Smudgie, it makes a refreshing change to have some height up front.

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

Brilliant result was getting really nervous in the second half and couldn't wait for that final whistle in the playoffs and there to stay.

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

Most positive thing for me is that he is 100% match fit and Fresh, having not played much football this season.

Not putting too much pressure on the lad, but he really could be that catalyst we need.

Looking forward to Hessey coming back as well as having Lindfield in the mix.

Onward & Upward :)

Was talking on clayton end yesterday, who knows "How" long Smithys loan is for? some of us thought season,but not sure.:confused:

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

Michael Smith (loan) & Liam Willis (free agent) both joined at the same time and are both here until the end of the season.

Cheers shaker,yeh just made me day.;):)

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

Now the dust has settled, you only realise what a great performance it was.We had lost our first choice Centre backs,captain and all the coaching staff,
That,added to a few players who were carrying injuries,just sums up what accrington Stanley are all about.
Don't underestimate how knowledgeable leam and phil are on the coaching side, and IMHO are the people to stabilise and take the club forward,
Regarding bag,he has played a big part in only 7 defeats in 26 games,so hopefully,it's another similar 26 games,I am sure he knows he was at fault,but he's been superb lately

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

Completely agree. Would not expect Ian to lose his place. His commanding of his area was very good for the most part yesterday. If he didn't have his occasional (and they are getting much more occasional) rushes of blood to the head, he wouldn't be playing at this level. He's been excellent this season.

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

100% agree shaker,he's earned us a few points this season,and is one of our form players,just got a bit excited yesterday !!!!

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

Having seen both goalkeepers this season with Murdoch playing the first 15 games or so and Bavs the rest i i dont see much in it between them although i have never saw murdoch make a mistake. He must be thinking what he has to do but i do completely agree with shaker bavs shouldnt be dropped. Does anyone know how long smith is on loan for? I thought him and amond were superb and luke joyce must be playing himself into a bigger move.

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

Murdoch was dropped after the FA Cup defeat at Notts County,when a couple of the goals were of the "goalkeeper could have done better" variety. Not howlers of yesterday's proportions but "disappointing". I thought at the time that he was hard done by to lose his place.

Up till yesterday Bavs has taken his chance and hardly put a foot wrong. In several games he's made crucial saves which changed the course of the match (Burton & Aldershot spring to mind).

Yesterday's gaffe was truly awful but I think Bavs is still well in credit. But I thought the same about Murdoch when he was axed and I agree there really is nothing to choose between the pair.

Re: The belated Gillingham match thread
 

Murdoch will play against Wigan in the Lancs Cup, gives Leam another chance to take a look at him.

Bav's will ALWAYS have rushes to head, and make no mistake it could have cost us big time yesterday.
