    Cole looks mean

    Hemmings is not a target man but he looks fast

    Winnall broke his duck

    Hourihane is looking more like a not so poor man's Redfearn

    apparent negatives...

    Berry is either out of his depth or out of position

    Abbott needs a bit more time

    Treacy ( or anyone else) cannot get to cross it from where it hurts

    we must not get carried away by beating a team who were doggo - their centre forward looked like he'd driven the coach - they lacked any threat at all and that was not down to us - if all teams are like them then I want a calculator for Xmas to help with our goal difference. Gillingham were awful.

    Footnote: if we were Barcelona - like in their faces every time they got the ball, we'd murder this league. Hunt in packs!!

    I disagree about Berry. He was one of the standout performers today.

    I thought Berry had his best game for us today and Abott had a fantastic debut.In my opinion of course.

    Thought Berry played well - in fact the whole midfield looked good

    Amazing how people see the game so differently. I thought Berry was brilliant today and made him mom.

    Disagree with all your negatives....abbot was one of the better and also berry was quality. And treacy delivered a great ball in first half.

    Agree with the positives, especially Winnall getting a goal. He needed that one.

    Disagree with the negatives. I was impressed with Abbott. Nothing spectacular, but looked composed and kept the ball moving. Berry had his best game yet. Although, he'd be more effective in the middle, in my opinion.

    I have been critical of Berry in the games I've seen so far. I was critical of him in the first 10 minutes too. But he seemed to grow into the game immensely and although it's obvious he's not a winger he did offer us something down the right hand side which he has failed to do in other games. He was one of the many definite MOM contenders today. Brilliant Luke keep it up lad!

    Berry was superb today, no idea what he did wrong.

    Treacy & Lita were the only slight negatives for me but I think they'll come good with games & better fitness

    That bus driver they had up front is the leagues top scorer. Can't be that bad.

    Berry is certainly not out of his depth, I thought he had an exceptional game today, but I do feel he would be better suited to playing in the centre.

    Sadly there were a number sat around me almost willing Berry to fail...Evidently they crave a boo boy to replace Dawson/Kennedy/Perkins/add AN Other.

    Feckin sad tw@ts.
