Angel's first league start in what, eighteen months? How did he do?
He played well, especially in the second half when most of the game was played in our half in what can be described as a strong defensive display or more bluntly, the 'Alamo.' He made one shocking pass straight to a Millwall player but got away with it; then again most of his team mates made shocking passes too.
We competed well in the first half, Mitchell again a danger as he was early doors at Gillingham but one needed nerves of steel to watch wave after wave of Millwall attacks in the second half. The home side missed an open goal - catch it on the highlights.
Town had two decent breaks in the second half both ruined by players going for glory when a simple pass may have paid dividends. Apart from that we hardly used the right hand side of the pitch in the second half.
Ian Evatt is playing some of the best football of his career at Town. Yet again he was a man mountain, hardly put a foot wrong and won every cross that came his way. Without his dominance we would not have been able to cope.Superb performance 10/10. In Stuckmann we have a very good goalkeeper. Hope we can keep him.
Mitchell visibly knackered at the end, can't manage 90 mins at the moment. SEB again useful and gave them something to think about.
Success and failure is such a thin dividing line. After the opening 15 minutes we were the better side in the first half although completely outplayed in the second. Two or three quality players could put that right. If only we could show the same determination at home we be ok.
P.S.
Oh and we had a clear penalty turned down. An obvious hand to ball by their player who moved the ball across his body with the palm of his hand. Unbelievable miss by the ref.
