Nobody wanted the fucking ball, and when they finally did reluctently get it, they took a mili second to give it back someone else, usually on the opposing team. Goals were becuase of un-profesional defending and well just crap everything. Have to mention the great atmosphere though. I was sitting a row infront of the frum, which proved a very good way of improving atmosphere, also the hooters and the balloons. At one point even the Medway stand was singing?? Oh well- its still in our own hands. UP THE GILLS this really was an absolute shocker of a performance.

When we lose at home to Accrington next year,then you can really cut loose. It was a bit of a shambles though and definitely not worth the 160 mile round trip. Some of the responses above state that Crewe were a poor team but in all fairness they seemed to play a lot better than their league position suggests and in fact were quite capable of stepping up the pace whenever they needed to. Just after half time the Rainham End turned up the volume,Miller hit the post and I thought .."this is it ,we're on the way,the match is ours for the taking" but before I could even finish my smug thoughts,Alex whipped up to the other end and banged in a very smartly taken goal,game over. Thereafter,they just sat back bemused and watched as our ineffective forward line operating permantly on the wings lobbed gentle crosses into their keeper's arms and other than a header by Crofts,the Alex defence had an untroubled afternoon. Simeon did at least brighten up the last few minutes with some good pot-shots but their third goal really showed what an easy time they had of it,except Kenny Lunt who nearly had his leg chopped off by Maher. I t appeared that after the red card Lunt made a miraculous recovery,so was it a bit of a con. Thinking hard about the trip next Sat to see Gills v Cherries, like glenn, I was so miserable after the last effort that I don't know whether I can go thruogh it all again Were you ther Petts Wood Gill...You didn't say . got to blame someone!!!!!

The decision to bring on this non-league reject in preference to our £150k signing on Saturday beggared belief. 2) Stimson's tactics remind me of the last days of the Hessenthaler regime where there were constant changes to the first XI with very little change in the way the team actually played - this is because the players as a squad simply aren't good enough. This despite the Gills being one of the highest spenders in the division - £200k King, £150k Jackson plus the non league signings mean we're moving up towards £500k!!! 3) The fact that we could still stay up despite Saturday's ineptitude really is says it all about the quality of this division. In a league so weak there is no way we should be in the position we're in yet through bad management, both on and off the pitch, we appear to be on our way back to League 2. The only consolation is that we still have games against Bournemouth, Port Vale, Millwall, Luton and Bristol Rovers to try and turn things around but time is running out...

The game though? Utter pile of wank. To be honest, after the wins against Forest and Huddersfield I thought we needed to still concentrate on getting better and staying up, but I didn't see this coming. We are truly fucking awful. Personally, I couldn't give a fuck that Crofts has played better for the last couple of games, the lazy wanker owes us for the other 30. As for the non-league crop, they can all fuck off before they take us to where they came from. The class of '92-'93 would stuff this lot, and come to think of it so would the clowns of '88-'89 (Gavin Peacock would beat them on his own). Sorry, I'm still so fucking angry that the team I love and support can play like that in front of their own fans. If we lose to Bournemouth I may actually spontaneously combust. Scally, if you know who we are, then you are more than welcome to join us in the front right block of the Town End on Saturday - I'd love to hear your views face to face. You prick.

(royce being the only exception although he was closest and the only one likely to have heard it). In 24 years of supporting the Gills I have never felt so disgusted by a performance and in that time I've seen some crap. I couldn't even get to sleep because of the amount of pain that afternoon had caused me. The fact that this team are incapable of moving the ball from one part of the pitch to the other and create something resembling a goalscoring opportunity against a poor side like Crewe is a disgrace. Stimson has seriously underestimated what it takes to succeed at this level and has signed players who were no better than the rubbish we had already. To completely change the team middway through the season was a terrible error. We will go down and the players confidence will be destroyed and i fear some will never recover. If the experience of watching the Gills wasn't bad enough we are also forced to endure stewarding only designed to wind us up. telling us to sit down when we are in the back row. Scally doesn't want us to buy season tickets for the town end so he can shut it and save a buck so we get treated like scum by people who don't have the sense to realise that they won't have a job if he shuts it. Can't wait till saturday when I believe we may have kids for a quid, any parents planning on bringing their kids should be warned the air could turn very blue and last time he did that at Port Vale the poor kids were soaked to death and they ran out of food at half time. Did Scally give a shit? did he bollox. I missed the Simeon Jackson cameo having left in disgust, not before unleashing a torrent of abuse in the direction of all the players on the field on Saturday.

Since the 31st match we have been disasterous. So here comes a fresh prediction and I hope I am equally accurate in my fantastic knowledge of the game and superb judgement of manager/players. We are doomed and will finish below even Bournemouth. Of the current squad who is good enough even to compete in this division ? Royce - usually fantastic (gets plenty of practice though) King - improving Bentley - OK when fit Jury out on:- Crofts - was terrible but improving at last. Miller - some glimmers of ability and entertainment/creativity Jackson - hasn't had a proper chance yet Cullip - good signing but will probably be a sicknote. Nutter ? The rest - #### !!

Could even say man of the match displays (not something to celebrate looking at his colleagues) Its just a shame hardly any of his team mates seem to be anywhere near his present quality. I also wish Stimson would stop saying "if only we had 8 players like Adam Miller we wouldnt be in this situation." The irony is that we DO have 8 players like Adam Miller - Non league shite!!!! The last throw of the dice is this weekend when we need to win, unfortunately it seems that the teams below us are not only winning at the moment but scoring plenty of goals. A performance like last weekend and we will be singing "This is embarrising" all the way to league 2. Let hope miricles are possible.
