Yet again the attendance for last night's wasn't announced - it wasn't as if it was difficult to count - probably between 3000 & and 3500.............. so where were the other 'fans' that we've lost in the last few seasons ?
Were they tucked up indoors - out of the wind and rain - watching Champions League ?
I probably wouldn't have watched the Man City game if I wasn't enjoying myself so much in the freezing cold at Priestfield -- BUT -- (( I already know brb's response )) -- how can you argue against staying at home after watching another pile of dog-do ?
I have been following my team's dog-do for MANY years. I have been extremely loyal to The Gills -- the Club will always continue to hold a place in my heart --- but -- for a long time, the problem hasn't been in my heart - but my stomach ! I am getting increasingly sick of being given so much rubbish. I am sure that the 'rubbish' that is being given, particularly at home games, is responsible for so many people no longer willing to waste their time.
--- but -- that isn't the real problem for me -- it is the lack of effort ((( I am NOT including Fuller ))).
Last night, as on Saturday, we played against a team 'low' in League 1. Both Oxford and Bristol Rovers showed a much greater commitment to 'engage' in the battle with far better intensity than The Gills. In both games we struggled to win the 3rd ball - let alone the first or second. We just let the opposition have so much possession - and 'stood off' too many times.... These are teams that are supposedly 'struggling.' - and let's not forget the defeat against bottom club Wimbledon.
Where is the 'fight' from The Gills ? - Mind you, I'm not sure if I actually want to watch us 'in possession' -- where we just employ 'hoofball' tactics - cringeworthy ! ( almost as bad as Ehmer's shot - which went off for a throw-in ! )
I could continue - but ( for those of you who are still with me ), you know what I mean without further embarrassing the players ( other than Oldaker -- simply AWFUL) .
People have said "Enough" - people in their thousands - and it can only get worse! I know that we've got limited resources etc - and I don't mind losing - but - if the players don't give 100%, why should the Club expect people to put up with dog-do................... and even I am getting fed up with having to endure so much of (sh) it.
