@GillsInTheBlood If we had a league table of Gills shirts, it would finish about where the team finished last season. Definitely toward the bottom end IMHO

@GBNEWS @CamillaTominey He seems to be taking a lead out of his boss’s approach to PMQs. Don’t answer the question and instead ask something completely different back

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@GillsInTheBlood I agree with this. The battling to the last minute qualities we saw at the start of the season seem to have diminished, since GAs medical absence. And we have also witnessed plenty of games where we were pretty lucky to come away with a victory.

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@afneil - would love to see you having another series of TV 1-1s with the party leaders. Any prospect of this?

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@GillsInTheBlood If Gills was a mobile phone, I would go for the “completely erase and restore” option (Dacky aside) from this list . The complete reset under Tony Pulis comes to mind

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@afneil I used to listen to Five Live, but much prefer Times radio. Kate and Stig in the morning are top drawer

@PME_Politics @ElectionMapsUK @YouGov Was it too much trouble to call him Nigel Farage or Mr Farage. Would you like just being referred to as English?

Has everyone just given up? #gills

@GillsInTheBlood @AGroundsss @The94thMin @Bootroom_tv @GermanGills @TheME7Podcast @TVFTM @GillinghamFCSC @eflpublished @OffTheLineBlog @72Concourse @LowerLeagueLook @TheDeckEFL Thanks for the article. Very well written.
I do wonder whether, in hindsight, the two year plan statement was a mistake. Has it engendered within the club a culture of “it’s Ok - we have another year to sort this out” …

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@BradGalinson @TheGillsFC And we are with you.
A suggestion.
We need to finish the season with some positivity.
How about another go at trying to pack Priestfield.
I would go again with the “pay what you want” idea (minimum of, say £5 for adults)

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@GillsInTheBlood I would also go with just Hale up top. No chemistry whatsoever with Andrews

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@GillsInTheBlood @Deutsch_Gills @TVFTM @TheME7Podcast @GillinghamFCSC @LowerLeagueLook @TheDeckEFL @OffTheLineBlog @aroundgroundsss That’s incredible Matt. Well done . Huge thanks for everything you do, especially seeing as though it’s not exactly been a time of success for the Gills

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@GillsInTheBlood @Cliffinkent Such a shame about Seb. Had high hopes for him. I also can’t understand why Vokes is played so infrequently. Is he still not fit even though we’re now in Feb? Maybe just play Hale as lone striker (defo not on the wing)

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@MJPhippsy Sums up the situation of our alleged ‘strikers’ over recent seasons

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@HaydnParry @ChilmaidStuart Yes I agree - have been supporting for similar time length and we always seemed a third tier club. But that feels a way off.

@GillsInTheBlood Hopefully we will soon see more regular game time from J Smith and McCleary.

[Martin Reid @Theninthmajor]

@ShannonGalinson @TheGillsFC @BradGalinson Thanks for everything you do too

@GillsInTheBlood @tonywoodrow12 @wigmore126 @MarkHalliwell1 @Robins_Report @1887RedArmy @Deutsch_Gills @aroundgroundsss @LowerLeagueLook @League2Lowdown @TheDeckfootball @TheFootballDeck @72Concourse Hope you guys can soon move on from this. You have both made well argued points but this is now in danger of getting too personal. Agree to disagree. Just my advice . Up the Gills
