Anyone else concerned about how light we are at the back? we have our back four and Mings?

Know what you mean Stuart.

If one of the centre backs gets injured then stick Chambers in and recall Hewitt. We also have Carlos Edwards who can play right back.

If Cresswell leaves/injured then I think we have a problem. Mings, for me, is not ready it but MM likes him and I trust MM. I guess Stephen Hunt could play left back as well?

im guessing MM has some signings lined up for the back, loaned or permanent...

Edwards at right back would be awful... hopefully Stearman coming back :)

Excellent, I go to university in Kent so hopefully I will be able to go see a couple of games and how they get on

Stearman back please to steer us to clean sheets we need :)

So happy that Marriott found a club where he can show he is ready for pro football!!

Great news for Marriott,let's hope he gets his chance tonight on the box.

Slightly disappointed that the likes of Hewitt and Wordsworth haven't been given much of a chance this season though.

Stearman got sent off on Wednesday so maybe if we look for someone who has proved himself for me Ben Mee may be good because he knows the league and is still quite young the same with Lewis Dunk he maybe not quite so experienced in the division but has some experience and again is under 24 I believe

Skuse would move to CB if 2 of our 3 recognised CB's got injured...

Maybe Titus is rejoining for the promotion push ?

Good test for Marriott now to see what he is made of...if he scores regularly in this division then he's ready to come on for us at least as a sub.

You can't keep saying kings isn't ready because smith wasn't until he was playd. Give the lad a chance. May sixth.

Mings*

Pity gills couldnt have taken wordy as well then he could get a chance to gell with marriot and hewitt for the future if there is one for him at town!!

Light at the back? You are forgetting Mick's trump card - Mr Titus Bramble. A contract to the end of the season in waiting.

With Mings, who looked good against Blackpool, very assured for a young man, I think he could slot in. Edwards could play at right back as we know and we have three centre halfs in our back four. What concerns me is / would be the initial lack of undertstanding with a changed back four, again that was evident to some degree at Blackpool - especially went Hunt was at left back, it cost us Blackpool's second goal. It's not just about the players but about communication and getting used to playing together as a unit.

Will Cresswell depart? I don't think so. I know Mick keeps talking him up, but to be honest, his distribution isn't up to it. Too many poor, wasted crosses, etc. Just my view...

Interesting times ahead...

@ Slowerball: Cresswell might put in the odd stinker cross, but as the highest accumulator of assists in the Champ at the moment, suggesting his crosses aren't up to it is a stunning conclusion.

As far as Marriott and Hewitt go, I'll carry on doing what I did when Marriott was at Working and bet on the Gills top win every game- bearing in mind Woking were near bottom when he got there, ad now mid-table, I owe Marriott a drink for the results he earned me !

Had my bet on a Gills win... made another little winner- Jack may not have played, but at 9/2, excellent result !
