Ha! Ha! That is twice now I've text my mate at the game to say how shocking this is on tv and within seconds we have scored each time. I'm just gonna keep texting him all night :smile:

Great goal that though. Lovely ball from mosh. Such a talented footballer.

 

[Pubey]

Mohsni against their left-back is such a mismatch! He's like the lovechild of Gilbert and Che

 

[Beefy]

Definitely an oggie for the second. Don't care though. This is a very strong performance so far. Of course it helps that Gillingham can't defend.

The Gills fans called handball for that? :hilarious:

Yep, been really impressed with us so far, Martin and Mohsni are playing really well off the superb Dickinson. Defence looks pretty solid

Ooooo martin trying to play football out of defence?! Bomb him!!!!!

Said it so often this season, when Dicko plays well, this system just works. When he doesn't or things don't go his way, it looks awful. Thankfully the former tonight.

Haven't watched us much, but that makes sense.

The thing with Dicko is that he isn't dirty, but he works hard and puts the defenders under pressure, he'll challenge for every header and so the defence don't get a minutes rest.

Yup and you can see why Luggy gets annoyed cos it's a simple tactic and it works. It's not pretty despite the stats, but it gets results.

So when players can't even do this simple plan properly, you can see why he would get so frustrated.

Oh my goodness just when I was feeling confident

Good 1st half Working hard, closing Gillingham down and putting them under pressure

 

[markw]

feels very weird seeing the bet365 advert giving live southend odds :P

 

[Dick Bate's Protege]

Get Hall running down the left against Terry Mullet and this could be a rugby score. They look awful.
