MATCH THREAD: “ GILLINGHAM v CARDIFF CITY “ MATCH THREAD

Gills attack on the left and an excellent flick from Josh Parker sees the ball crossed across the box; thankfully without troubling the City goal

Gills having a bit of a recovery right now and Tom Eaves puts a header just over the bar with a good effort

A Ralls free kick from the left sees a Bruno Manga header blocked before the ball ends up with Mendez-Laing on the right side of the area but he handles the ball, so free kick Gills

City then have one decent attack from a long kick by Smithies but it comes to nothing

HALF-TIME: Gillingham 0 - 0 Cardiff City

Not offering much goal threat ... shows how desperate we are

Gillingham look a bit better 2nd half. The Paterson /Reid partnership is very ineffective! Eaves looks a better centre forward than Paterson!!

I do try and support our players and I am generally pretty chilled about things. But Ralls frustrates me so much. He should be dominating a game like this. But instead he dances about a bit. is largely ineffective and Damour who has barely played this season is demanding the ball and being by far and away the more dangerous of the 2.

After a Manga opportunity, Gillingham are starting to come into the game and it could be argued they are unlucky not to be in front after a series of attacks...

Best chance of the match has certainly fallen to Gillingham and City really need to take back control of this tie

Sub: Josh Murphy on for Kadeem Harris (shoulder injury)

100% agree that Damour has been one of our better performers so far!

It's difficult to disagree, so I won't!

Joe Ralls is a frustrating player but City as a whole today are replicating their wasteful tendancies going forward

Another great chance for City sees a good save from the Gills keeper

Damour is having a great game for someone who has not played for so long.
He is underated by a lot of out supporters he doesnt stop running

I've been confused by Damour's exclusion and he is doing well today

Starting to be a Cup game now with a shot against the bar from city and some decent attacks from Gills

NML ITS BAR AFTER GOOD WORK BY MURPHY.
Gills now dangerous in the break. Eaves holds the backup better than our forwards. Ward on for Reid.

Gillingham 1 - 0 Cardiff City

Morrison taken goes down and play allowed to go on before Gillingham score the game opener with 10 minutes to go!

City will do well just to get a replay from here and our profligacy in front of goal may come back to haunt us!

manga

Same old story.

Morrison AGAIN
How many times until he gets dropped, the guy didnt touch him.

Useless this season not sure what has happened to him

manga

Manga ?
It was Morrison rolling round like a girl on ths floor. Manga had to cover two men because of him

MORRISON again apparently

Looks like we are going to be the headline news on 3rd round day?

Wtf is morrison doing there. Goes down and watches as play continues.

Manga ?

Yep, can' blame Manga for this...

Morrison, Manga and Smithies all did awful for that goal

Oh dear the
Mistake was Morrison more than Manga!
But like I said earlier Waves looks like a centre forward far more than Paterson.
We have missed the target with loads of shots in and around the box!

Warnock will not drop Morrison. Even if we sign a quality RB he will leave manga out.

Shows how cr@p we really are in front of goal

Good. Maybe now our useless transfer committee, will get their fingers out of their f*cking arses and get us the players we need, to stay up. This current lot are only going to take back down I’m afraid.

Well his stubborness and bias towards favourites is probably why he has failed at this level. You can get away with it further down the leagues

Morrison, Manga and Smithies all did awful for that goal

Not sure why ?
Bruno was struggling to cover 2 positions and 2 men whilst gis partner was rolling around on the floor and Tge shot deflected off Bennett giving Smithies no chance

Morrison is classsssss

pathetic
