I managed to speak to Steve May before the game and he said that he thought he had a decent game against West Ham............I wasn't there, so I can't comment. He definitely wasn't suited to left back, as proved by his mistake that gave away one of their goals. When he reverted to right back, I thought that he played far better and could be one to watch for the future.
Also managed to speak to Neil Smith and he sounded like a nice guy, positive and focused on his approach to the club. He told me that Muku had signed that morning and was really pleased.
Muku had some great spells on both flanks, but looked tired by mid way through the second half.
The rest of the team played well, but still need time to gel as a unit.  Chippy Carpenter, Coleman, James and Keevil were solid and looked good. Leon had an indifferent game, as did Mooro, but both always give 100 % and that's what we need.  I'm glad that Blackman scored a goal ( and what a great header ) hopefully now, he'll go on to prove us all wrong and get 20 +  He was substituted by Harpic......sorry, Harper, who looked out of his depth. ( I read now that he has signed for Tonbridge ) Good luck to them.
Gillingham brought a good side and played some good ground football...but hey, we contained them and nearly scored the decisive 3rd goal to win.
Sodje scored two good goals ( one each ), Lomas looked tired, but still managed to whinge at every opportunity and Ian Cox played well.  But we still held them
I look forward to seeing Robbie Ryan when he's fit, should be a good addition to the squad.  After a game like this, I hope that we can play to this standard and better for the rest of the season. Shame about the attendance though.
I also managed to speak to Sidcup Graham on the day............nice guy.
