These are my predictions the the upcoming fixtures, as follows :
Bromley.....lose
Salford ....draw
MK Dons.....lose
Cheltenham..draw
Colchester Utd..draw
AFC Wimbledon..lose
Bromley...draw
Chesterfield..lose
I am not convinced that we have the right blend of players and manager to guide us to a victory over the next 8 games.
Pretty sure Bromley will beat us at their place. Michael Cheek is somebody we needed to look at before the season started. When he was at Ebbsfleet before joining the Ravens, he was a decent player and his goal tally was impressive.
Nick Haughton from AFC Fylde is another proven striker who very much has similar goal ratio to appearances that we should have looked at during the summer.
At the moment we don't look like scoring more than a goal per game.
Little, MacKenzie, Dieng, Clarke, Clark, Wyllie, Morris, Hutton, Lapslie, Masterson, Hutton, Andrews, Hawkins, Nolan and E,Williams are the only players worth keeping.

What possible value is there in retaining Hawkins ? Someone to clear out the guttering perhaps.

Clean the windows on the Medeay Stand, and any jobs involving a Cherry Picker.

The only saving grace for MB in his eyes, he thinks players coming back, will give him that extra breathing space and save him from the exit door.
Even the most loyal fan does not believe returning players will have the desired affect, because it runs a lot deeper.
His poor substitutions in that second half, taking Dieng and Coleman off, changed the complexion of the game into Harrogates favour, that notion will have been noted by Brad.
I have never been wrong about manager's and Im not gonna be wrong about MB.
He will be gone, it's just a matter of time and secondly, there is player disharmony among the squad, the captaincy is a issue which is having a negative impact on how the team performs.
The next game versus Bromley...you can see them scoring at least one goal against us and not confident we can even score one or more.

Saying a manager is going to get sacked is a bit like saying everyone's going to die sometime. It's not an especially bright thing to say and neither is accusing someone of 'not having a pair' simply because they disagree with you. It appears you have to have a target for your posts - now that Scally and Jackett are gone it's Max Ehmer and Bonner.
It's tedious, predictable and slightly sad. Let's say we all agree you have never been wrong about anything and than you can spare us from this repetitious stuff.

Summerwell...saying MB is due the sack is like death in comparison is foolish of you.
Didn't think you were that thick.
The long running agenda with Scally and Ehmer have always been a black mark or achilles heel in regards to our club moving forward and there is not disputing that.
Face the fact(s) that there is disharmony among the current squad in regards to our current captain and tactics from MB, similar to playing Championship Manager on the PC.
If you think everything is fine, then you are clutching at straw and sincerely, hope you grow a pair very soon !!

Let me try and explain in simpler terms. Everyone is going to die, so predicting that is not an amazing show of insight . The 'equivalence' with management sackings might be taken by anybody with a modicum of intelligence as being tongue in cheek - but let's face it it's not exactly a long odds bet.
You claim never to have been wrong about a manager. How about your hero Evans ? How many times has he been sacked ? I realise that your grip on reality hasn't always been the best, what with your fantasies about your football contacts and your Chinese investor. I don't think everything is fine but I also don't believe you have any insider knowledge about the club, its players or any of its staff. In short I think you're a bullshiteter. I'll face any facts you care to produce but so far it's just your opinion which to be frank, on the evidence of the last few seasons, is utterly worthless.
I've tended you ignore your fallings out with others as they are generally so idiotic as to speak for themselves, but just at the moment your posts have reached a new low.
Finally to suggest people who don't agree with you should 'grow a pair' is just puerile. By the way could you please learn to distinguish between a plural and a singular possessive noun? Thank you.

Good to see swans back to his usual pedalling of insults.
If you’re not capable of grown up debate, this might not be the place for you.

The falling out in your view is the argument you don't understand.
Brad has come into the club with the best intentions moving the Gills forward as a club and business.
He can take this club to another level but there has been some real headaches, in terms of general recruitment after the early honeymoon period, because we were nosediving to National League footie.
The toxicity surrounding Scally and his involvement in NH sacking was highlighted by Neil himself
The club's off-field achievements have been very good indeed.
But the playing side and recruitment of managers has been very poor since NH.
I have it on good authority that the appointments of Clemence and Bonner were largely influenced by Jackett and Hess who are the experienced old heads who had the final say on players. This also applied to NH too. That is why players like Coleman and Ogie came to the Gills through their links to Leyton Orient. Both have not convinced and that rests with Jackett / Hess.
I do have these Chinese investors who are linked to a club in L1 now, but they are big group who can splinter far and wide.
Shefki Kuqi could easily do a much better job than our PE teacher manager who can tap into overseas players, as well as the domestic market with his long playing career. MB only has Cambridge Utd as his main contact, that notion is true because he has been mainly reliant on others helping him with signings and sanctioning them.
At the moment we won't make the top 7 with the current squad and can you trust MB in the January window minus Jackett who exited leaving Hess still at the club.
I have my reservations about him staying beyond Xmas.

Agree or disagree with me.
It has always been the truth and I am saying it as I see it.
We need a manager who can pick up the phone on the spur of the moment and make things happen with their influences, links and association with ex-players who are still within the game as managers, scouts or coaches at other clubs.
Evans, Harris, Allen, Tennant, Pulis, Taylor Peacock and Jed could do that..we saw what they can do.
Bonner does not have that experience or influence within the game to bring decent players in without further assistance from others , which means another layer of people above himself, structured by the club which been less than convincing for obvious reasons.
MB main contact list to call upon is only Shaun Derry and Cambridge Utd.
I rest my case.
