Gillingham (H) Tuesday 11th Feb, 7.45pm

This isn’t the correct line up in my opinion. J Gordon & McEntee should not be in the team. Ballsy.

We are far too negative with that selection. We should be straight on the front foot tonight.

We hammered enough teams coming fast out the gates.

Alas - cmon lads we need a win tonight!!

Not sure many people can recall what he brings :joy:

Nah good luck to him, hope he bangs a hattrick tonight. It’s a big test for the two players (OM and JG) that Sadler has shown loyalty to. They both need to repay that loyalty because I can’t see any reason why he’d drop Lakin and Harrison for them tonight

There’s been times in the past Sadler has made changes or picked lineups and has been slagged off, then 45 mins in we are eating our words hard

However, there’s also been plenty of times we haven’t been eating our words and we’re still left scratching our heads at full-time :joy:

I sincerely hope its the former this eve

59’

FLASH GETS HIS HAT-TRICK!

Effort. And a lot of it. It’s like playing two or three players at the same time. But don’t talk about the quality of these players.

Ill raise you to 6 fouls and a booking

Not the team i think most would have gone with but really hoping Sadler has got this right

Matt Sadler has to take some responsibility for the defeat at Colchester and if tonight does not go well this starting line up will be questioned. The selection tonight has me extremely concerned. I cannot offer any words to explain why Josh Gordon is starting. No January loanees in the team really makes you wonder why we signed them in the first place.
Someone posted above that Matt Sadler was turning into last seasons Matt Sadler - I think that comment really hits the nail on the head.
I hope at the end of the game I am getting slagged off because this post turned out to be so wrong!
UP THE SADDLERS

3 point lead is enough

Seriously underwhelming team selection from sadler - why sign these guys if you’re not going to play them?

In just 6 weeks, we have replaced Lowe with Gordon, after being told we would be stronger after the window.

Maybe so, but - and correct me if I’m wrong - but has he even been involved in a promotion winning team? He had one good year at Barrow, and apart from that has been lower mid table kind of player hasn’t he?

Not only none of the Jan signings, nearly all were on the books by end July. Is it that the new signings are struggling to " get" how we play- tight in first half, turn it on second?

Not liking these selections at all. He’s gone safe with players in positions that weren’t really working last season. Or winning many games.

I think tonight has changed now to an unconvincing win with probably a goal or two from players off the bench.

Has Harrison not played enough that he can’t manage two starts in three days?

I applaud his attitude and effort- but is he the right choice for tonight?

Goal for Jellis tonight, i can feel it in me bones

Pitch is starting to look bad, are Villa ladies using it much ?
