Gills thread

Brilliant Result. Only two really good chances in the first half. One for either side, but Stanley played well ........and in the second-half they stayed calm after going behind to a goal from a cross that Ben Woods was slow to get across to stop. He made up for his error with a superb goal and Costello's finish was a fabulous shot across the Keepers body into the opposite corner of the net.....Really made my weekend and I haven't looked at the table yet....although it's points on the board that are important right now.....

Yes dear Lord Stiffy...I was soooo knackered, I decided to give this game a miss, therefore NO thread starting,AND I entered my prediction. as a loss...all these factors surely qualify me as 'Man of the Gameday Forum ' award?... and great stuff STANLEY..on ya go.
 
Just seen some extended highlights. Brilliant winner!
Great to have Ben Woods back! Adds mobility to the central midfield which was badly missing in the games I have seen.
 
And could have had a couple more if Batty had shown a bit more composure. Had great opportunities to pass to people unmarked in the box, but shot wildly himself.

Very impressed with the second half display. Kept them at arms length despite their ball possession and we were very quick on the counter.

Thought that having Woods and Coyle in centre-mid gave us more bite and made us more aggressive going forward in the second half. Gills supporters afterwards told me they were impressed with the attacking intent, quick and direct.

Interesting, Phil. We’ve been crying out for more “forward drive” from the midfield. Our captain has many attributes but not always those.
From what I’ve seen thus far I’m also not convinced Nelson Khumbeni offers anything that the likes of Coyle, B. Woods, Henderson, and Martin offer (and did so last season).
Having six loanees brings its own squad problems.

Btw, does anyone know what’s happened to Dan Martin?

I agree, Exile. All opinions of course, but I expected Woods to play more regularly than he has. Let's hope also that Liam's 60 mins of hard graft without a booking is a sign of good things to come.
