Full time and after the poor start a point is not to bad a result, but for that poor start could have been, maybe should have been much better. Overall a better performance by the team today. No game on Tuesday so hopefully get some rest into the players.

On a side issue and probably a little controversial I think Jones in goal needs a rest and it may be time to give Ellery a start at MKD on Saturday

Onwards and upwards

a bit disappointed we didn't go on and win . couldn't create much after Copps went off . Good defending of se pieces at the end though.

Well done to the team there. That was one of the most annoying, frustrating games I can remember.
Gillingham true to type just destroy football as a game and turn into a battle for throws, corners and headers. Cheating, niggly fouls, gaining 5 yards every throw.
I wouldn’t have lasted 10 minutes before I’d be shown red card.

Half decent referee would reduce their effectiveness by 50%

Ah well, didn’t ruin my birthday. Good point after that start

The second half was awful, from 2 very average sides.

About 90 per cent of those thrown-ins were foul throws. His foot over the line virtually every time. Officials gave us absolutely nothing all game so a point gained after that start.

Two sides up around the playoffs,
That’s a good result for us, we don’t win often down there.
If we keep our players fit then I think we’ll maintain our playoff position

Shocking ref. How many times did their left back wrestle Bogle? Let Fatty Faulks’ team do what they wanted.

Anyway, I hope he enjoyed his first game. The t**t.

Agreed on putting Ellery back in goal on Tuesday. Jones just doesn’t command his area at all. In all honesty I just want us to go out and buy a number 1 in the summer and have done with this loaning 3/4 keepers throughout the season.

What was awful was they way the Gills tried to get throws ins all the time. No wonder we couldn't play, it's hard when the ball is off the pitch for so long!!

Would’ve defo took a point before the game and results elsewhere have helped aswell. Joe Wright was immense today hopefully kicks on now towards end of season. Was baffled as to why Copps came off so early with us now having a midweek game as when he went off we lost all our attacking threat.

Not really RA, just a fair reflection of how people were feeling at the time.
Once we got back into the game the mood changed and most people got behind the team.
There won’t be many football fans who haven’t gone off on one then done a u turn later on.

He played the full 90 at Oxford so an hour today is probably the best we can hope from him if we dont want to burn him out. Full week rest now so should be good for a full 90 at MK Scum!

His replacement, Richards needs to up his game and play with more urgency, goes missing for long periods
