Good response to Tuesday today, be nice if someone other than Thorne could get on the score-sheet though, anyone know if Grant Holt notched today?



According to the half-time report from my mate at the game we totally outclassed them in the first half, sounded like we eased off a bit in the second half but we still managed to hit the woodwork three times on the break.

Good to hear Willy getting a run-out ahead of Conlon too.

2 games, 2 wins anyway - Rochdale next week should be more of a test though.

Thorne 4
Holt 1

Still 44 games to catch up.




2 wins from 2 also.

4th KROCHA FC 38 POINTS
5th W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G 36 POINTS

Were very impressive yesterday. Kept the ball on the floor and played some good passing football. Boulding kept the defenders busy chasing everything down the channels, looks to have a very good touch too. After being left unimpressed with our midfield pairing last week they both looked very classy yesterday, really controlled things.

We were pushed back a bit in the second half but we still had a goal in us if needed. Topp showed some nice touches when he came on, gave the attack an extra dimension.

Overall a very professional performance and the sort of thing we ought to expect if we are to challenge.

Another loss and another game our strikers cant score

Good win yesterday against a decent Rochdale outfit. They probably had more of the play, even in the first half, but our extra quality in front of goal proved the difference. In the second half I thought we let them come onto us a bit too much, but we seemed in control for most of the time - the centre backs were superb.

So far so good then, though I'm still not convinced by Paul Arnison, most of Dales chances came from their left and I think he is going to start getting targeted more and more - and I'd like a tough tackling midfielder for games against the better teams, just to shore things up a bit.

Not sure what Michael Boulding does to keep having shots that hit the inside of one post, roll along the line and go out for a goal-kick past the other one, good to see him get off the mark though, and good that someone other than Thorne has managed to get on the scoresheet.

The 2nd half was a little disappointing but the more I think about it the more sense it makes. If we'd have gone at Rochdale again they're more than good enough to hit us on the break. To hold what we had was a smart decision, especially with the quality of our centre backs, who were both faultless.

An excellent win and another tough test on the way next week at Aldershot. Hopefully McLaren is fit because we look weaker in the middle with Nix in there.

3-1 win over Chester for the Millers, -8 points now!

Gillingham sign Charlie Daniels on a one month loan from Tottenham

Apparently Barry Conlon scored 5 goals for the reserves tonight against Grimsby, in a 7-1 victory.

They must have been really, really bad



The evening paper in Glasgow has reported that we are signing Rangers midfielder [url=http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Squad/Profiles/0,,5~37314,00.htmlDean Furman[/url on a six month loan - can't find too much about him though.

The reports I'm reading are very encouraging about Furman. It's an area we desperately need cover in too, as IMO Nix just doesn't cut it in McLaren's absence. Apparently he's not too far off the Rangers first team, looks like McCall's contacts could have paid off for this one.

I've had a brief report on the reserves, seems like Conlon's goals were mostly tap-ins off the back of others parried shots or inch perfect crosses

It was on the BBC Gossip page this morning that one, good signing judging by the Rangers website.

Rotherham beat Wolves on penelties in the league cup tonight, into round 3 now!

Got this from a Rangers fan...



All sounds promising (depending on how you feel about Frank Lampard I guess!)

Nice one mate, cant stand wolves.

Gillingham beat Accrington Stanley 1-0 thanks to Dennis Oli
