League Two Gillingham (2) v Rovers (0)

[Boz]

Ian, perhaps, but probably the best we can hope for is something like the Salford covid performance. That’s if there are no enforced changes during the game. Jameson at the back always makes me nervy and paired with another left-sided defender in Turnbull even more so.

 

[Sparky]

With all these injuries and some of them won’t be available for a few games, can we not bring Rhys Hughes back?

We have several out on loan Hughes, Mcaleer, Hockenhull and couple of youngsters who we should be able to recall

 

[Ian]

Rovers have started quite brightly. However we have said this before..

 

[Higgy 2]

Couple of decent balls to feet for Jake, but it's not sticking.

 

[Ian]

Ohh, close for Gillingham. Cogley makes a mess of a short pass, Gills break, Murhpy saves low and it trickles just past the post.

 

[Sparky]

Got away with that one after cogley gave it away.

 

[Ian]

Too many high balls for the front two IMO. Feeding off scraps really.

 

[Higgy 2]

Merrie looking more comfy in CM.

 

[Ian]

Close for Rovers. Good break, Hendry runs down the middle. Cogley bombing down the right, crossed in, just past the post.

 

[ADD]

That is a frightening bench with its lack of options. Assume by the lack of subs that there may have been a late injury/illness No Tom Davies a big blow. Nolan injured again? The suggestion Robinson still with us and would return at some point, inaccurate? Stratulis unheard of since returning from Connah’s Quay still injured? Fearing a hammering…

Stratulis on the bench for CQN today.

 

[Ian]

Saunders with a half shot but it was a tough chance and with no power trickles to the GK.

 

[Ian]

1-0 down. FFS

 

[bigmart]

1 down, with our lack of goals probably game over

 

[Higgy 2]

Sh*t. Three corners all caused similar problem. Inevitable.

 

[Ian]

Unmarked at the corner, headed into the bottom left. Terrible defending.

 

[Sparky]

Shocking marking. Williams at the back post with a free header. One of cogley or hawkes were marking him and lost him.
The hosts hadn’t score for three games. Can we get back into it as despite some half chances, we still look fairly toothless

 

[Higgy 2]

O'Connor better bet than Merrie at right midfield. Apart from mix up with Cogley earlier.
Some decent stuff when ball is on deck.

 

[Sparky]

We’ve had some decent half chances but lack any conviction. Hawkes firing high and wide from a good chance

 

[Boz]

Stratulis on the bench for CQN today.

Wonder if he’s just come back from injury.
Hughes only on the bench for Chester again so time to bring him back? If we’re that short of defensive cover think should have Hockenhull back too.
