Here we go again. It’s unfair because this particular ref hates us. We would definitely have won if we had 11 on the pitch. The team are more tired than any other team in the league, we’ve got more injuries than anyone else blah blah blah.
Let’s get a new manager in asap - having Jason and a continuity strategy as a long term interim appointment was never going to solve our basic problems

No one is debating that. Doesn’t stop a discussion on decisions, especially major ones. The ref wasn’t fit for purpose. So many fouls not given. Wasn’t good enough for an amateur game.

Things will look better if we beat Newport. We have a chance.

Looking only at the league, our next two games after Newport are against Barrow (undefeated in their last fourteen) and Mansfield (two defeats all season). 😫

Oh yes, sorry I forgot the ‘We’re turning a corner, all we need to do is win the next game…’ approach I thought we played well against Wimbledon and nearly got a point at Gillingham despite playing with 10 after a very poor decision by Ref.. I fancied us getting at least a point with 11 men.. Was the changing of managers really going to make us win every week? not going to happen, regardless of if we stay up or not, we are going to lose plenty more games this season.

The reality is that there has been little chance for tactical changes on the pitch as games are coming thick and fast over Christmas with players probably resting between them. We do need to change tactically but we have already seen some tweaks and just as important more fight.

If the Ref is every bit as bad as people say that he is, and if this is a well established thing, then I can only suggest that the players give him nothing to be excessively punative about. But we did.
Gills generally played better than we did. We didn't really get going until after the sending off. Had we got a draw that would have primarily been down to the Gills being quite poor finishers.

Which of course they are as they’re the lowest scorers in the league I was allowing for the possibilty that they might improve, in that respect, last night. Given that they were playing a team who have conceeded 51 goals this season.

But we did. Not after the sending off, the players were then afraid to make a challenge and just backed off and covered running players, which they did quite well for most of the game, while we only won only a handful of free kicks.

Looking at the highlights, I don't think that that tackle was much. Will the club be appealing against it?

True, but I was thinking about before the sending off. A bit of game management.

Before the sending off, we were being pinned back with no out ball again, the difference between this match and the AFCW match was the lack of any midfield again. I think Gape made a big difference on Monday to the balance of the team, he needs to start on Monday.
The red wasn't even a foul in my book, I watch challenges like that in premiership matches week in week out, no one bats an eyelid.
We are at that point in time where things have to change now, we have to start winning, in a week or 2 time the task will be almost insurmountable, but 2 wins in that time and we would be right back in the survival mix.
