Hello Lenny, I know it's live on the new sky channel for lower league clubs at 7pm, so as the cameras are there you might be able to pick it up on ifollow as it comes from all the same service network i think. I think it comes up about 10 mins before KO, so look out for it around 6.50pm UK time, I don't know what that equates to in your time.
Gills did 'ok' in the 1st half...in the 2nd half, I thought Peterborough stretched us - and with their subs, showed Gills would need even better recruitment in L1 (if / when we get there.) I know that we are still some way from what would be a first choice 11....so I don't want to be too negative...It was a useful game for those returning from injury (( although I thought Dack was underwhelming.))
I enjoyed the game last night on tv, I thought it was a good advertisement for the competition, one that feels often overlooked (for reasons I will not bore you with). Gills had most the possession in the first half, easily, but lacked that clinical touch, maybe because the Posh play very similar to us but were better at it, defensively and by a mile in front of goal (league above) - so were happy to sit back and let us play a gentle Sunday afternoon style kick about, while giving some players the chance of a run out. The game was only marred by Dack deciding to get into petulance and handbags with their number 33, but to be fair they soon dropped the only issue of the entire game and the ref obliged with the yellows as a warning. Second half was different, I felt Posh dominated with the introduction of Mothersville, as their gaffer by this time had realised we were there for the taking. I was relaxed about it, my concentration is the league and I just wanted us to get through the game without injury and we did, so for me, it was job done and I will look forward to the next fixture in this cup against Crystal Palace (u21's). As for the players, if you want to get a look at your whole squad this is certainly one of the lesser games to get a good insight into - not sure who was responsible for the first goal, but it wasn't the greatest of starts for our loan keeper, not suggesting it was his fault, but it leaves me anxious, hopefully he will get further game time in this comp so we can have a better look at him. In regards to Dack again, where's that energetic young man gone, but his experience will come in valuable and I warmly welcome him back. On to Saturday now and the bread and butter, was nice to see the depth of our squad and what a run by Harry Webster, I want to see more of him. Looking through the subs, all five of them, I'd say the better ones finished the full 90 mins, that's as close as I would come to a man of the match.
