Dead rubber, dead lucky, dead happy … which will it be ? What of the team ? Will we play the under 18´s ? Will we still struggle and lose, or will we hopefully catch a Kent variant for a change and win ?
Tomlinson comes in in what looks like a 4-4-2. Ennis and Hardie up front. Reeves and Fornah offering protection to the centre backs Tomlinson and Watts. No Grant. The bench looks, well, different ! Craske, Mitchell, Pursall and Lolos. Will Luke get a final game to reach his milestone and Cooper finishes the season as a starter in every league game ?
The game got off to an awful start with Watts taking a blow on the head within a minute, and, after oxygen was applied, he was carried off, with the game being held up for 12 minutes. (It was noticeable not a single member of the Gillingham dug out clapped him off – Steve Evans for you !).
Moore came on and Fornah switched to centre back. With Gillingham´s direct approach it was always likely that arial threats and physicality would be an issue for us and so it turned out. On “27” minutes, Gills cleverly broke down the right and the cross came in and Oliver got the final header in almost on the goal line. Ogilvie was also launches throw ins from 30 yards, each of which caused us concern.
We had a couple of chances from free kicks, one was close from Reeves, which took a slight deflection and went just over the bar. The other taken by Hardie seemed to be mishit and hit the wall.
I thought Reeves had a good first half, probably his best 45 minutes for Argyle so far. Gary Nelson was also excellent on co-comms.
The second half was largely half paced. Argyle did have two gilt-edged chances. The first from a Hardie cross which Ennis was unable to get good contact on from two yards out. The second was a good chance from Moore who rounded the keeper but shot wide following a good cross from Mayor.
Cooper made one great save in the 48th minute when Lee was presented with a chance following a pin ball by three Argyle defenders, but that was pretty much all he had to do.
Reeves was booked on 54 minutes.
Jephcott and Lolos came on for Moore and Ennis on 67 minutes and Craske and Luke came on in 86 minutes. Luke making his 350th appearance. Well done Luke. Well done also to Tomlinson and Law who both showed well in this game.
MoM Cooper
End of an up and down season for Argyle. Good news - we will still be playing the Gobshites of Pompous next year and not Excreta.
Roll on recruitment.
