Upson seriously is having a mare of a game. Cant pass and cant tackle and not closing players down.

 

Here we go again. Now we have to score 2 to get out of the bottom four.

 

Is Hanlan on the pitch?

 

Hare not having a good game either.

 

Lack of service but he has been losing it every time he has had it.

 

I really hate having a go at our players but I really can't see what Upson offers us apart from creating us more problems. He has given the ball to Gills more than his own team mates. Its literally like we have 10 men and Upson is on their side giving them 12 men.

 

Well we’ve made a superb response to falling behind by err not having an attempt on goal for 20 mins!

 

Ifollow just came up with the possession stats.

Rovers 60%
Gilld 41%

Now im no mathematician but surely those stats cannot be right.

 

You can tell heads have dropped after we conceded.

 

All of our back 4 looks shaky. Leahy having the better game out of the 4.
Upson has been poor. Really poor.
McCormick trying really hard.
Oztumer having a great game.
Grant has been quiet.
Nicholson has had 3 good chances - none on target.
Hanlan has had poor service but not his usual handful self. Don't think he is 100%.

 

That’s not good enough. They should have more spine and be more determined to get back in the game.

 

I would put Grant in DM instead of Upson and replace Upson with Westbrooke.

 

Far to slow in moving the ball we still don't seem to want to get forward very quickly. the only good thing about tonight's match is I am in the warm instead of being stood in the cold. If Paul Tisdale wondered how big his job to turn this round is he must certainly have a good idea now. Cannot see us getting anything from this match, they keep talking about Oztumer about his touch etc. but there is no urgency about his or any body elses play.

He said that he was going for experience to get us out of the position but the senior players do not appear to be good enough

 

Yup, that’s what I reckon too.

 

Nicholson, Oztumer and McCormick are the ones not giving up and are really trying. The rest have been..... here we go again.

 

Yep, there hasn't been the urgency to get back into the game and that allows Gills back into position. But when we do get through, we've had no composure.

 

Unless we make a quick change, it will be more of the same this 2nd half.

 

Could we please have a red card early in the second half for their manager and if thats not possible can somebody give him a very large gobstopper
Just looked at the halftime statistics 76% passing accuracy for Rovers

 

Rovers have had 6 shots 1 on target
Gills have had 9 shots 3 on target

 

Kilgour coming on and McCormick off as half time sub.
