Rarely will Gills play as badly as tonight and win. It was amazing to win 5-1 against a team which spent most of the game camped out in Gills half with most of the possession. Edinburgh was going crazy at the poor performance. On the other hand 5-1 sounds convincing and there were some delightful goals. It is just unrealistic to imagine this level of performance producing a similar result again. Thank goodness Jackson managed to stay fit for 40 minutes during which he dictated the course of the result.
Blimey your hard to please. 5-1 did flatter us but once we scored there was only one team who looked like winning. Yes Jackson was the spark we needed and was mom even for those 40minutes.
Wheels are turning ... Fleetwood sack boss after poor start http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/34402715 Doncaster sack manager after poor start Peterborough United sack manager all of these managerial casualties happening shortly after playing the Gills .... !!?!
bristol407 I absolutely agree with you - although the Fleetwood defending was dreadful - and we managed to capitalise every time. gioblues - I understand what you're saying - but it would have been a tall order for any team to come back from 1-4 . So, yes, there was likely to be only one winner - but I bet I wasn't the only one 'expecting' more action at the Rainham End in the second half - instead I nearly got neck ache facing the Town End. I know that we made their keeper pull off a couple of decent saves - but overall, I was disappointed that we didn't bag a couple more. Jackson had a great first half. I did wonder if we'd be as good without him - Does anyone know the extent of his injury ?
