Rhys Murphy's career penalty record is 83% so not too shabby.

What is behind them both is their best.

Has Demi missed his last two?

Nope, he slipped home an absolute belter versus GWR

So 5 from 6 then??

 

[Holy Joe]

Tom Clifford.

I didn't think much of his set pieces last season. Think his set pieces are similar to Ferguson's long throw.

 

[Tommy2holes]

I'm not sure why it's taking so long to sign up players already playing pre season with the club.

 

[flangejackrabbit]

10 from 12 apparently

 

[Microbe]

One thing to mention is the recent lack of goals from central defenders.

Apart from the Cordner goal I'm struggling to remember headed goals from our defensive players.

Anyone think our current back line will contribute 5 - 10 goals a season or more??

Maybe an area to strengthen?

And I think this is why Clifford's set pieces weren't all that. Neither White nor Hobson are attacking threats at set pieces. Dieng was probably the biggest threat at set pieces.

We have Demi for pens

To be awarded a penalty, you have to get in the box. We need to do a lot more of that.

Think we did it quite a lot from when brown came in

Coulson is good for a few goals apparently.

Well if the person PB is talking to is Akinde he's just gone off injured in the Gills' game tonight.

Well that would be typical Southend, consider it good as confirmed then.

I see he went off didn’t say injured tho?

 

[blueveined]

He only came on at half time.
Gillingham FC@TheGillsFC
69' 3-0 Excellent save by Cumming to deny Giannoulis. Corner given to Norwich and John Akinde may need some treatment here before it is taken.
71' 3-0 Sub for #Gills: ON - Gerald Sithole OFF - John Akinde

Oh no ffs

 

[JB Shrimper]

Let hope, like I was anyway, that it is not Akinde then

 

[Tommy2holes]

Looks like Akinde is no longer available.

And with Akinola being told he can leave, I guess we will have to step up the hunt elsewhere.

 

[Shrimper]

Akinde wasn't realistic anyway

He went off injured but it may just be minor and/or precautionary.

Do you know something we don't?
