Yes, it does. Loan signings are all very well but thats what they are, a loan. They come to the club for a short period of time, then leave again, giving no consistency. Short term impacts have been great, long term we're still yet to see. When players have been injured, look at the impact once...

I've not really got anything to add to the discussion, I think Oli has been severely unlucky with injuries and it annoys me how people forget how good he was in our last promotion. Yes he's lost his way but no need to "attack" him in such a way. But WINDYROG's post is possibly one of the best...

Wow. Maybe you need to take some of your own advice. We are all fans of the same club and opinions are going to vary. Some of us expect too much of our players, whilst other are more wary of the greater picture, not what just happens on the pitch. I'm not sure about this, but I doubt many other...

Hear Hear Tom-Tom. Couldn't agree more.

Agree Richards shouldn't have got the armband yesterday! A trivial matter but when you have Jackman, Kedwell (former Wimbledon Captain) and Payne on the pitch why give it to him?! Kedwell or Spiller would be my men to lead the team on the pitch. Passionate about the club and both vocal characters.

This is going to require quite a large amount of honesty from everyone but I was interested to see people's opinions and how they have changed. What was your starting XI at the start of the season? And what would it be now? Now I know players have since left and some have come in. Some...

I really second this comment from HOADIE. Spiller really is a favourite of mine. He shows grit and determination, a willing to play a passing game and gets the crowd going. Not sure how many of you are on Twitter, but today he has been sticking up for Hessy after some fools have started slating...

Lawrence last year was a stand out palyer. This year watching him is like having toothpicks stuck in the eye. He and Hessy do not get along anyway so maybe this has transfered into his performances? As some have said above Evans should have started. The 2 youngest players on the pitch (Evans and...

I'm pretty sure that Simon King is on that annoying injury list we have at the moment too, same ankle as before. I really do hope Hess plays Essam at least, and Evans gets some game time. Recalling them just for the sake of it is a bit of a cop out to me to get a reaction from the fans.

How foreign are we talking here?

Agree with bristol, leave him alone. If he really wanted to interact with fans on a larger scale, he would already be there. I'm pretty sure having either wouldn't make him talk to his family more. As my fellow lad said, there are bad points to it. He would be on a much much lower scale than say...

Agree with Gemini. Is a player that can't get into the first team of the club 3rd from bottom really what we should be aiming for? He's a Gillingham lad too though, and presumabley Hess knows/remembers him from his time here in his youth. If the Kuffour deal goes ahead too I won't be...

Jack Payne Danny Kedwell Luke Rooney in that order. Flitney a close 4th.

Crouch was still a relative unknown back then and even as a Gills fan, I have to admit the abuse he got was excessive. He's gone on to prove what a decent guy he is. This time round it will be purely for the banter because of his comments since, but at the time it was much more sinister. And...

Don't see how anyone can 'hope we sign him' or use him in a comparison against current players as none of us have seen him play. Fair play to Southall though, shows our scouting network is varied. As said above, good luck to the lad.
