@NH32563455@JamesCleal@leo_watts33581@TheGillsFC@Julian_KPI This is the thing for me, yes he assists a fair few, but his role of LB he is by far our weak link in defence and teams identify that and always play down his side - as a wing back he is okay at best, but if we’re playing a 4 he is truly awful🤷🏻♂️
@GillsInTheBlood Honestly I’m not fussed in truth at this stage in our season, just want to see as many of the fringe players as we can! If we do sacrifice one, I’d rather see SPH or Wylie up with Hale, purely to stop the hoof ball!
@DanH9412 I don’t mind that aside from Williams on the left, as I’ve never seen him play wide for us I don’t think?
Maybe sacrifice Rowe for a striker and play 442 diamond?
🎥 EMBARRASSED IN OUR OWN BACK YARD
🗓️ 21st February 2026
🏆 League 2
🆚 Oldham Athletic
🏟️ Priestfield Stadium
Tuesday was bad, but this was catastrophically worse from start to finish.
Yes we may have created (but not converted) some good chances, and yes we maybe should’ve had a penalty or two, but the bottom line is that those moments came when the game was long gone due to a performance that lacked all the basics.
No leadership & no fight, we were out battled, out worked & out played all over the pitch.
Too many once again look to be going through the motions while us fans sit & suffer another season or disappointment.
All the best to the Latics, fully deserving of their comprehensive victory.

Well that’s a new low for so many reasons. Bravo Gills for continuing to push the boundaries in terms of abject failure 👏🏻
Max Clark summoning up the audacity to call out individual fans for booing him (and the rest of the ‘team’) as he walked off has me genuinely perplexed.
@GillsInTheBlood Did Marosi pick up a back-pass in the second half for Tranmere Rovers ??? - From where I was situated inside Priestfield Stadium it look like a back-pass ???
And I will mention that pressing run from Sam Gale, who chased every Tranmere player in there own defensive final third
@GillsInTheBlood Not much wrong with this at all! Only slight tweaks I’d potentially argue is Hutton for Mcleary and McKenzie for Coleman - aside from them, that’s a team that “should” be winning games at this level! #gills
This would be my team for Saturday.
We’ve won nowhere near enough points (17 from our last 19 games is relegation form) for too long now that surely changes, real changes, have to be made.
The three centre backs would help us retain more defensive solidity, but two forward thinking wing backs (albeit one is a defender by trade) can get us on the front foot.
I would play our most natural holding midfielder as a single shield with two players who can take & use the ball well in advance of him, then a proper big man little man front two.

We are so pedestrian it’s unreal. Fuck Andrews off he’s absolutely fucking useless. Fuck Max Clark off. Playing one of our best CBs at RB. And to top it off, we’re playing a £250k striker on the left wing. Just fuck off gills. #gills
I have been toying with the idea of publishing this for a few weeks and having contacted Brad Galinson a few weeks ago and received no reaction I will go ahead. As you no doubt know I am 83 yrs old but still have all my marbles as they said in my day and I am not religious. I can remember years ago the Gills were going through a similar bad and long period of results and with the curse being often mentioned, (as it still is today) the club brought in a church specialist to bless the club or whatever they do and the situation improved. The club has brought in tried and tested managers and attacking players whose G +A has then dried up as soon as they get here, with no plausible explanation for this drop in form. The Catholic church still has specialists to lift any unholy ties. Now Gareth Ainsworth was educated at a catholic college and is a practising catholic, so I am asking, should the club try to organise any such ritual? I am not saying I believe it will work but it did before so what's to lose. UTG
this What's to lose
@TheME7Podcast@ScoopsFM Re-signed players we shouldn't have, can't get McCleary & J.Smith on the same pitch but need an overhaul. Move on Turner, Ogie, Rowe, Little, Wyllie, Andrews, Clark, Hutton, Nevitt, J.Williams, E.Williams & Khumbeni. J.Comper & co should now be judged as they said a year ago
@kevtaylor8650@NH32563455@deanmcbeano If we revert to a 352 I’d go:
Gale McKenzie Smith
Hutton Coleman Dack Williams Cirino
SPH Andrews
Again, rotate Masterson when fit for McKenzie and then move him up instead of Williams
I still feel we’re lacking pace regardless of first 11 at present #gills
@DanH9412@NH32563455@deanmcbeano If go to back 4 and want to play wingers then can be smith and who ever but you need focile person up top so andrews or vokes. The midfield ideally if mckenzie and coleman dack. You can't play dack in a two
#confused#Gills
Is anyone else befuddled when the team is announced? Players back available, yet not even on the bench? Anyone actually know our best formation or starting XI?
Yes, I know we've had injuries and suspensions, but do we know??
I have no clue.
@TheME7Podcast It’s been poor for a few weeks now IMO, why we don’t play J.Smith and Cirino on the wings is beyond me.. SPH up top on his own doesn’t work either, we have the players, but for me they aren’t being utilised properly at this moment in time #gills
I think we can call that second half a bit of a non event from both sides.
Only a couple of pot shots at goal and both teams cancelling each other out. We had two chances to threaten on the break but did not look convincing in either of them.
Unfortunately, as soon as Vokes and Andrews were paired up top we didn’t look like a threat at all.
I’ll take a draw from that based on our first half performance, and onto the next.
Who stood out for you today? #Gills
