Time to concentrate on the league.

Have to say I agree with Mark on most aspect; I thought 4 - 0 was rather flattering for us against a very competent and well balanced Wolves outfit who were never put under any pressure.

Not sure that I agree with Mark's comments on Cody; he wasn't given any service whatsoever so questions must be asked of the midfield, not that there was much evidence of a midfield, and Kedwell

[Garawa]

I think Martin Allen joked about not knowing one of their players (Sigurdsson) which is highly doubtful. He appeared shocked when told he cost £2.5m and he had previously said about Doyle being £7m. Those two alone would cost more than all of our squads since the turn of the 90s so that much more quality-wise will always hurt you. Of course we are capable of beating Premier League sides like Bradford did but only with a strong midfield and we have anything but that. Unfortunately that looked the same last season and the real disappointment was that we over-compensated up front without sorting it.

I do wonder what Kedwell might do in a creative midfield role with a pacey German and Cody up front. Put Lee/Linganzi in with him and play Whelps and Dack wide. We need to stop the holding midfield role as it is making us far too narrow and at this level, fullbacks pushing up and getting caught out is given the centre-backs far too much to do!

lol point taken mark..

Unfortunately as I could not be there I could only listen to what Sky told me. Sky said wolves were playing an in experianced side with a lot of kids.

Cody wont do anything in this division unless we feed him. For 3 games now we have not given our front line any real service. The best chance against colchester was speculative by Kedwell.

We all knew we had a tough start to the season. Brentford and sheff utd are tough games coming up, but we wont do anything untill we stop just lumping the ball and try to feed the strikers.

In my opinion the problem is not Cody it is Let me give away a 1000 free kicks Akinfenwa

"In my opinion the problem is not Cody it is Let me give away a 1000 free kicks Akinfenwa"

Has to be his fault ??? How do you work that out Rob ? He didn't even play at the Moulinex on Saturday

[Robpthegills]

I just think Akinfenwa is a bad signing Cadbury. Not blaming him for wolves, but I think his signing has dictated how we are choosing to play.
He just continuously gives away free kicks, I don't think its even his fault half the time but whether it is or isn't he gives them away.

I would suggest that if you checked most peoples NC league most people would have had us down as a loss to Wolves. So its not all that bad. The
Colchester game was disappointing but then we will win some unexpected games.

The cup defeat is kinda irrelevant as we often do not proceed to far in that.

My concerns are Akinfenwa which I think is a poor signing and the midfield lacks a bit of quality in the supply line and when Charlie Allen is back fit
he will probably walk into the team and he was div 2 at best certainly not div 1 in my opinion.

I thought we would struggle at the start of the season but that we would end up safe. Nothing has changed my opinion.

Akinfenwa should never have been signed nor should of McDonald! Should of got a couple of strikers with experience of playing in the championship to give us that extra push in League One! Someone like Deon Burton would have fitted the bill!

We will go in the loan market soon enough...Bayo and Cody will not get 15 goals between them! Despite what I have said above I still think Kedwell will get 15 on his own!

[Robpthegills]

I love Kedwell we need to play to him more and not just hopefull lumps. The guy is Gillingham through and through

[gillsfan1066]

Guess after such a great season last year I kind of hoped we would be doing a back to back double and climb into the Championship. Of course in reality the chances of that happening are slim.
I agree with RobtheGills, think most of us no matter how optimistic expected us to struggle against Wolves and the Colchester result until what the 88th minute seems to have been able to go either way ? Think the next two or three games , this weekend then The Swine and Bristol C will give us a good idea of where the mighty Gills are going.
Still think bringing Cody back will be OK, don't believe Norwich or Coventry signed him just to fill the roster. Bringing him on in the 60th minute is the way to go, fresh legs, new face all that sort of thing.
Got a feeling we get a nice win this weekend , get some points on the old scoreboard 3-1 or 3-2 victory to give the team confidence, Cody banging in a couple.

[Garawa]

I personally think Brentford will be more difficult than Swindon! I feel they only lost the play-offs after losing the League 1 title with seconds to go which totally deflated them. They will keen to avoid that this year! I won't be too annoyed about losing the first 4, it was as tricky as they come but Colchester shouldn't have ended in defeat and we need to bounce back and get revenge on Bristol City with a much stronger Gills set-up.

[gillsfan1066]

Just got a call from the fly on the wall, the boys are up and ready to go, a win for sure this afternoon for the mighty Gills.

[gillsfan1066]

Guess it's getting better, I see a win in our forecast,.......................... sometime in late October against say Carlisle.
