Match Day Thread: Gillingham 11th Nov 2025 (EFL Trophy)

Great goal.

From the controlled play at the back drawing their players in …

The dunk into midfield and the deft flick on …

The injection of pace on the right and then and cross into the box begging to be finished off …

And ending with a good header by Fink.

A hard watch someone said? Rubbish.

There we are!

It’s an Internet rule that someone has to declare something as the best or worst ever.

Stand by it, I’ve struggled to watch this and get excited or be impressed with anyone in general….until the third. No one who started has made me think they can force their way in. Maybe gillingham have been so poor that they haven’t had to move out of first gear? It’s looked more like a practice match than a competition.

Could absolutely see us getting to Wembley again btw. Our squad depth should support us progressing

Almost disappointed Fink scored, as was about to type what a good game he’d had even without scoring.

His hold up play was impeccable all evening. I felt against the Fulham kids he didn’t really impose himself, but he certainly did tonight. All rounded off with that cracking header. Lovely move and really well finished.

Good, solid performance all round. Westergaard probably the stand out player for me.

Westergard, Lowry & Junior were all very good tonight.

I know he isn’t in the dugout, and maybe that’s the reasons but if I didn’t know Gillingham have Ainsworth as manager, I wouldn’t have been able to tell we played against one of his teams.

Slam dunk the Fink, put it up if you got that feeeling.

Do you wanna get down, do you wanna get finnnnky

Of course your opinion is valid, and I semi agree….. but the exercise was to win the game without risking our main players. Completed it mate.

Jesus :rofl: someone has gotten out of the wrong side of the bed this morning!

I’m happy with the win…. But knowing you know… and could easily change the lyrics to “slam dunk da funk” has blown my mind @Malone :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

We just won 3 nil son .

Heavily rotating our team.

Not sure if you were around when a guy called Doddsy was in charge but we barely got 3 shots in per game..with our first team.

FWIW, I don’t think the role Fink had to play in our first goal was insignificant and should be glossed over.

Yes, you expect your forward to run forward when you attack but the timing and where he was running caused their centre back to slow and think about tracking Finks run forward just long enough for the pass from Junior to get to Lowry.

Maybe my expectations have gone up….agree that we would’ve struggled with duddsy incharge in that game, just expected a bit more from a few of the players
