Give JE his due,great substitutions after a first half where Peterborough should have been out of sight! JE brought pace into the team and changed the game after half time and made it into a extremely entertaining and victorious match for The Gills!
Jackson along with Dack and Loft were exceptional and they needed to be to beat a good Peterborough team!
For a ex defender he doesn't seem to try and close a game out which causes a lot of nervous moments but we are back top of the league so I am happy with that! |

I agree JE done extremely well today with the substitutions and way he changed tactics. First half we were too deep and allowed them to run at us in numbers especially as their wide defenders made it 6 across the middle as soon as they won possession. Second half we pressed right to their goalie and moved 30 yards up defensively which stopped them playing out of defence and cut the space in the middle of the park. Agree dack, Jackson and loft were very good indeed, loft stabilising the middle and giving more energy than Hess in the first period. Excellent 2nd half and whilst a little biased thought we deserved it. Well done JE and the lads.
Have to mention the ref who was poor - ABH doesn't win you a pen anymore, their number 12 was a joke, his holding and pulling was so obvious but not penalised, seems you can do anything in the box these days!!

While I would agree the substitutions were spot on.I would like to say that I believe Dickenson was outstanding. Garmston did well in the first half but I did notice him a few times feeling his hamstring so one of the changes on the left side may have been forced.But it was our defending and the skill of Dack that turn the game in our favour.Having said that Peterborough looked the better side until as you say we pressurized them.Our work rate again was 1st class.For me we are far from the best side in this league.That may sound critical but the fact that we are top is due to these lads giving everything again.We have no big stars Dack apart maybe but what we do have is something far better that willingness to do it for the team.Carry on lads we are with you all the way.You can do together we can make the Championship.

Nice to read good comments about the JE changes etc.... did he bring flash McGlash on today, also, is it just coincidence that we managed to see the game out at 2-1 and he left Wright on the pitch.

Tactically at half time swanley he got it spot on. Pressed them high and stopped them playing. Bringing on loft for Hess made the difference for me as he covered acres and got important challenges in, which helped Wright hold the middle.
