Despite the ref being a Grade A muppet - we really should have been smart enough to learn and adjust - as ending with 9 was the only way we weren't going to win. Both of Kandol's cards and Beckford's first were wholly avoidable. Gillingham really were terrible - after the first twenty minutes we were absolutely cruising with 11. With ten we were still well on top and Beckford should have scored with a header at the end of the first half and nearly scored with an overhead kick at the start of the second. Even with nine we weren't under huge pressure until the last 5 minutes, Casper only really had to make one good save - diving low to his left - and Gillingham's ability to lose possession by passing the ball out or over-hitting crosses was somewhat astonishing. Indeed we actually made the odd half chance ourselves, Westlake and Weston just failing to connect with shots and another free-kick from a good position sailing over. Bizarrely after they equalised - we appeared to push Heath upfront in an attempt to win the game - soon followed by a panicky rush back when we lost possession. If anything yesterday did just reinforce the view that we should cruise up the league - team seem to be improving, Prutton and Douglas were both excellent. I'd imagine we'll face some punishment for the coins and the odd bit of seat thrown at the ref at the end, though it wouldn't surprise me if the Gills fans avoid punishment for running around in Caspers goalmouth after they equalised.

Sounds like the ref had no choice. 2) Beckford - on a yellow and goes in and takes the Gill's man off his feet (seen it on YouTube) - again the ref had no choice according to Eddie.
