Gillingham Thread

With current financial situation at the club, I can't just get my head round the Kevin Long situation. His services were retained for the rest of the season at the end of January, It's now the middle of March and he hasn't had a kick. I appreciate that Hessey is playing really well alongside Edwards, but why spend money the club clearly hasn't got on a someone else's player just to have him sat on the bench?

Loaning players and then not playing them seems a bit of a waste of money to me. And where has Owens dissapeared to again?

If the start of the season is anything to go by, Hess will disappear after 10 good games. Then, in comes Big Kev. :)

I agree that we have too many players for our current financial state, but we only have three centre-halves who have had any meaningful playing time in the league (Edwards, Hessey and Long). It would make more sense to release Smyth & Owens than to fail to take up the chance to loan the proven Long for the rest of the season, even if he does have to bench it while injured or others are in good form.
 
Bit unfair on Hessey, he has been immense these last few games.


Good point about the 3 recognised center backs.

No sense to release Smyth, as Leam is crocked, again :(
 
For what it's worth, I agree with Shaker.

Let's not forget that Phil Edwards is a booking from a two match ban. Then the strength in depth will show.

Smyth has been out on loan, impressed and won a place on the bench. Maybe Owens will have to do the same???
 
Was a ball up to the edge of the area, not dealt with, Cisak started to come but Andy Barcham got there first and slotted it in
 
Procter brought down in the box, ref pointed straight to the spot.

Edwards stepped up, shot low and left and the ball came back off the post
