Sounds as though Lumley has already got the number 2 keeper spot. How long before he becomes our number one? It's a big worry going forward.

You missed out Mara who I understand Martin glaringly says of, 'you don't train one way and play another'. Apologies if I've got that wrong as perhaps it wasn't aimed specifically at Mara.

That explains it!

Which clown decided it was a good idea to give Djenepo a new 3 year contract last September?

Looks like he needs a bell in the ball from that photo.

I guess we'll learn a lot about RM and his team on Saturday.

No mention of shouldering some of the blame himself? Maybe he said it and Adam didn't report it in this snippet. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because he certainly bears some responsibility.

It gave Gillingham the chance to try out 5 of their second squad and find out they are actually quite good players.

Oops!

Out of interest do we know whether Gillingham played a full strength side? I sincerely hope they did.

I think he probably already knew - his mistake was picking so many of them tonight.

On Friday our stock was rising, now it's being laughed at.

Which is why we should have signed a new number one keeper instead of bloody Lumley - bad mistake.

He certainly won't be on the pitch giving the three chest thumps a la Klopp 🙂

He needs to have more respect for the fans especially those who travelled, I refuse to believe he doesn't care - if that is the case it's a terrible attitude so I'm giving him the benefit of doubt on this one - I think he's caught a massive cold and hopefully will learn from it. Travelling fans especially have been hung out to dry after shelling out good money and going in good faith.

Martin does need to own most of this. A narrow loss could have been accepted but this is a humiliation and will do a lot of damage to morale and confidence. I fear he has gravely underestimated the opposition so that's a mark against his name very early in his tenure I'm afraid.

Total bullshit.

Maybe because we've gone about it in the wrong way - we should be looking for a new number one so that McCarthy becomes our new number three. We are weakening rather than strengthening in a very key position and I believe we'll live to regret it.

I'd be delighted if we got McAtee but just can't see it happening unless Jason Wilcox has some influence.

Think he'd be fine at this level.

Maybe that's the idea - make us grateful to have Baz in goal because the alternatives don't bear thinking about 🙂

From what I saw it was a slight scare but we were never in any danger - Baz got to the ball ahead of their player. Can't deny though it was far too sloppy at that stage of the game.

I notice us and Millwall were the only two sides to win away from home.

He scored a lot of his goals for Blackburn by making runs into the channels. We've never used him that way which is why we've never seen the best of him. Poor bloke has been starved of the sort of service he thrives on.

I think if we do sign Matt Grimes that will help AA because he's brilliant at pinging very accurate passes into the channels which would give AA the chance to use his pace.
