Matchday Thread: Gillingham v Port Vale

[NellyTheValiant]

I'm also hoping for victory but that's because I'm mental.

 

Nothing mental about hoping for victory, expecting one is completely crackers however!

[For Us All]

Come on you Valiants.

What's the away fans pub? Anyone know?

There's a little club practically aside the ground that allows away fans in.Just ask for directions.

Sadly we need to park the bus, and hope the gills forget there shooting boots. Just can't see us getting anything. We need some inspiration from somebody and a lot of luck.

 

Play like we did at Scunthorpe and we'll take all 3 points.

Cicilia not even on the bench this week or amaros. Tavares kiko and pereira also no look in again. Come on brown some of these lads are better than what you keep selecting!

Tanser shouldn't be in the squad and Pugh shouldn't be starting. I'd be very unhappy if I were cicilia, kiko or especially amaros.

07 league games since a win for the Gills so we just KNOW what's coming next!!....😣😣

Disappointed about dropping Shodipo as I thought he'd be big on the counter today. Pleased that Knops is back in for Tanser. Having Shodipo and Thomas off the bench will be big if the game's tight.

 

Will predict 1-1, De Freitas puts us one up and then the annoyingly good McDonald equalises.

Couldn't agree more. I think he's cutting off his nose to spite his face. Amoros is a shoe in for me in now that Grant's gone, and Kiko should be at left back. The selection of Purkiss (again) and Pugh is a joke, and the fact that our only game changer in Big Reg can't even make the bench is bizarre.

When the only game changer at the club is "Big Reg", you can sort of understand the mess we are in.

Yes I can, but the fact remains that he is, so why take away that option by not even putting him on the bench?! Starting to get a little concerned about Mr Brown. He seems to have no faith in most of the foreign players, yet has faith in a player like Danny Pugh, who hasn't scored since 2013, and Ben Purkiss, whose horrendous mistakes are directly costing us games?!

[valefan16]

It's a sensible line up for me. Tanser has been poor so Knopps makes sense.

 

Shopido was good but is not offering Knopps the cover so leaves him exposed.

 

It's basically a line up aimed and not needing us to score three goals to get anything. We need to find the defence/attack balance.

3 wingers on the bench?

[bookworm]

I think the manager knows best in these situations he's had them training and knows who's capable and who isn't,some of the teams put up for selection are bizarre in my opinion and personally I don't care who plays where as long as they give 100% and go for it.
