We could easily have thrown games away by allowing waves of attacking that should have been nipped in the bud earlier.
Let’s hope the return of Crofts and Labadie turns things around and then with Bakinson, Sheehan and Dolan et al we , at least on paper, have an embarrassment of riches. Let’s hope it turns out that way but I still wouldn’t say no to Byrner returning!

Byrne hasn't missed a match at Gillingham this season. He's probably the first name on the team-sheet.

Didn’t know that, much as he was for us then. So much for that wish then, great little player.
