I was going to put this up myself. Jeff said Omar had 19 in total, plus cup I assume. May 21 in total. Even Devante Cole has something like 16. Add to that Clayton and Bostock being linchpins in their current sides. It just goes to show how badly managed we’ve been by terrible managers.

[Chris Black come back]

That’s correct, I only included league goals, as stated in the original post.

They have both scored cup goals in addition. 

[Branton Rover]

Our current league status lies squarely at Wellens feet he’s the stubborn one who refused to play Bogle and chose to play without a centre forward for half a dozen games last term. That’s what cost us our position in League One.

[BillyStubbsTears]

It beggars belief that we froze out Bogle, then gave contracts to Dodoo, Hiwula, Agard and Griffith, and signed Cukur and Andrews on loan.

Bogle was never a world beater but Christ Alive, anyone could see that he was a better option than all those 6 playing at the same time.

Worst managerial decisions in decades. We should never have been in this division, and certainly not with another 18 months of paying Griffith's contract.

I don't even believe that would have saved us, you could see from the season before under Andy Butler where we was heading. Sometimes you can tell just by how you finish the previous season and it carries on into the next.

It wasn't Wellens fault we blew a 3-0 lead at Morecambe or winless runs or games where we  couldn't score

[sedwardsdrfc]

McSheffery and Welles’s/Younger signing a useless squad up we’re to blame last season. The money been cut didn’t help but it didn’t equal relegation. Bogle was just one daft issue that did t help.

Missing the player was bad but the money spent on someone not contributing (who clearly could) is criminal when out budget was cut. Very stubborn from Wellens to think that was something we could afford.

It wasn’t hard to see what would happen at the end of the last two seasons.
I predicted that the losing streak would carry over into the next season, and do it was proved to be the case.
Unless Schofield goes and hopefully Blunt and Copps as well, we are in deep shyte next season because as sure as eggs are eggs, we will be in a battle to retain our league status.

Bit much to suggest Wellens alone is the reason we finished where we did this season u madman

How it has worked out would it have been worth sticking with him? Certainly would have been interesting to see how he would have done trying to get us back out of League 2.

His record really when you consider Swindon, Leyton Orient and possibly Salford maybe the least inspiring but he did at least win a trophy and the pressure to get promotion is pretty high as well plus they haven't even achieved that aim yet even now.

[5minstogo]

In hindsight we'd have probably been better riding it our with Wellens or even McSheffrey. Ironically it seems we're now going to ride the storm with Danny and hope he comes good, despite there being very little to cling to.

He was only in charge for one game though in that trophy win

Or terrible decisions from Directors/Chairman

[streathamdave]

I'd have May back in a heartbeat but can't see it. Get the band back together with Marquis as well.

Bogle continuing with decent form this season. 6 league goals in 12 league appearances, following 17 league goals in 46 league appearances last season. He's doing this for a pretty poor side also. Found a decent level for himself at 31.

[drfchound]

Alfie May doing very well for Charlton this season too.

[Fal]

Devante Cole also doing well at Barnsley

[Prez]

Anyone see the racist abuse Bogle got from a Gills fan doing the rounds on social media?

Absolutely disgraceful. Needs locking up for what he was wearing for starters.

[Chris Black come back]

Gills have given him a lifetime ban.

[Dagenham Rover]

Devante Cole also doing well at Barnsley

Only if a penalty's involved and he wants to go against the preferred penalty taker ok he got it in the back of the net on the rebound luckily

I have seen the photo the guy should serve a prison sentence , I believe he was already banned by the club before today

That’s a bit harsh daggers.
Cole has 11 goals this season.

[ravenrover]

Kane was the designated penalty taker, Collins says he will be sorting it out.

[drfchound]

It still doesn’t alter the point that Fal made, that Cole is doing well at Barnsley.

[ravenrover]

Not saying it does

[drfchound]

I know, but Dagenham hinted that it might.

[ravenrover]

That's his point of view

[drfchound]

Yeah, ok.

[NickDRFC]

That's his point of view

Everyone’s entitled to a point of view but equally if that point of view is daft people are entitled to point that out. Cole is having a very good season and sits top of the League One scorers chart, 2 clear of the next. To say he’s only doing well if a penalty’s involved is just not true.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Gills have given him a lifetime ban.

Good on Gillingham. No place for scum like that at any football club.
