He's been very clear on 'Saturday-Tuesday' games and has been pretty clear on rotating over those games. Today was a worse 90 minutes of footie, but a better result than S.Weds - So I can only assume Tuesday is going to be an improvement.
Aluko and Bonne may very well be back, and I would imagine KVY will be on the right - so we have a stronger team selection already. (In some regards, Burns will always be a huge miss)
A lot of nonsense about fitting players into tactics, but that isn't exactly true. McKenna did something that Cook didn't often do - and that was switch formations mid game. It felt like a traditional 4-4-2 at the end.
McKenna dodged an embarrassing bullet tonight, but the level of negativity floating around 15 points from 21 available is a little bit odd. He's continuing to get results and has yet to throw away a solid lead. [Post edited 5 Feb 2022 20:50]

On a par with Lambert????? Remind us of his first 7 games, or his first season, or his subsequent time in charge.
Somebody on here recently said you weren't trolling but were just thick. I thought at the time that was unfair. |
Its probably a bit of both TBF. |  |

Lambert had us top 2 at Xmas barca. He won the ugly games. He just couldn't win the important ones.hence why he failed eventually.
Hence why I've said these results are great but need to see better performances as lamberts wins were very very ugly but we never had enough to beat those who mattered.
That's why imo it's important we start to see better performances overall as it will then hopefully take us to another level.
That's why when people say Lambert wouldn't have won that. That's probably not true. He probably would have but he'd then go on and lose to a better side. |  |

Oh but you are - when you start picking apart other posters to assert hidden meaning behind a statement that was clearly only talking about today's game - you're looking to incite negativity (which you were today.) You wanted me to engage in a pointless dissection of my own words in a rather positive comment. All with the desire to get me to say we'd been poor for a number of games. That's negativity, pure and simple.
I'm telling you one thing now - I would rather be proven wrong 100 times when taking a positive view than to be proven right 1 time for having a negative one. |
No. You just did what a fellow poster does and assume I was baiting when I was asking a genuine question. That wasn't a negative and I tried to make that clear but you wouldn't accept it. That's fine. But you were wrong
And again. I've shared my positive thoughts aswell as negative across the forum. I can't effect which ones people want to focus on. | |

Towards the end Lambert was stuggling to win games, struggling to score and had jumped the ship well and true. That isn't opinion-based, it is back by stats. The only manager we can compare to Lambert at this time is Cook, as he's had a full season worth of games in charge - KM has had 7, it is far far too soon to do anything but appreciate his points tally has been the best a town manager has had in over 15 years.
As for your other reply, no - I wasn't wrong - Neil Harris was a good coup for Gillingham, and probably would have been good for us too. But I feel KM was the better pick for our long-term future, but today was a wake-up call.
Absolutely nothing wrong in that. [Post edited 5 Feb 2022 21:41]

Totally agree. But I'm not comparing lamberts worse time, that would be pointlessz it's not even a comparison on managers, it's solely based on results v performance.
We want success and upto Xmas under lambert it looked like we were getting it based on results at the time. There were always fears the performances themselves weren't good enough however and that's how it feels at the moment. Thats why i refer to the performances, if we see these improving along with the results then we could be reaching a higher level than Lambert which would bring success to the club which is what we all want.
So again it's not negativity. It's hope that KMs already got the results we want him to get.. we just want to see the performances grow.
And on Harris. Again I agree. I said yesterday Gills would be tougher and Harris would have them well drilled. I was genuinely curious why today was the wake up call not last week only because today imo was harder imo than last week. That's the only reason I asked about the 'today' bit. Not meant in any negative way. I was agreeing with you about Harris etc. [Post edited 5 Feb 2022 21:47]

I'm not comparing Lambert's worse time, I'm comparing it to his total time here. He didn't save us from relegation - we got no better under him than Hurst. He failed to get us up for consecutive seasons. That's a gargantuan sample size of failure, and one that KM has no business being compared to. [Post edited 5 Feb 2022 21:50]

I agree and I wouldn't compare it to lamberts championship time either and again KM isn't being compared to lamberts time in charge overall either, he's had 7 games.
As said. The comparison is about the ability to win a run of games in league 1 without performing well. Something we've done before. To get promoted imo that won't be enough we need to see performances too, that's all we need to see now, is the ability to do both. And if we do. Then I think next season KM will take us up. | |

A lot of sense in that post.
I don’t understand the negativity. That is 5 wins in 7 now, whilst taking over a side that had been largely underwhelming and sitting in mid table all season.
I think some still have a false sense of where and what we are as a football club now. It’s a difficult league to get out of, we aren’t going to steam roll teams week in week out, it won’t happen.
We are moving in the right direction. |
Except that our performances are getting worse and we are getting luckier each game. We have also only really beaten poor sides. Apart from Wycombe. |  | | |

Morsy being out of the team is a significant part of that I think. He's clearly a good captain for the players and offers a lot of options in the middle. | |

The whole mood has been really off tonight. It was a sh*t game of football, but a great 3 points.
We were gagging for points for months, and now we have a good supply of them - but there is a really weird lingering guff of negativity around KM right now, which is bananas. [Post edited 5 Feb 2022 21:13]

because some "fans" want the club to fail, so they can say "I told you so"
those "fans" need to see a psychiatrist |  | | |
