Well that didn't go as planned with the Gills grabbing a point with a late goal by Legge who headed home a howitzer of a cross by Pritchard, to be fair the Gills deserved a point as North End fell apart in the second half making 11 changes at half time with all players being replaced by Stevie Wonder impersonators.
Truth to say North End should have been out of sight by half time missing countless chances as they played with a tempo that was blowing the Gills away.
Strangely though the Gills could have scored in the first few seconds but Johnstone smothered an effort at his near post, within seconds Garner was inches away from scoring at the other end.
Chances then came and went for the home side, it wasn't until nine minutes before half time when Beckford blasted home form just inside the box,, Robinson soon made it two with a mazy run and shot. Easy Peasy.
To be fair to North End injuries to Laird and Beckford at the start of the second half disrupted them and when McGlashan scooted in to score following a pass by Marquis the writing was on the wall. Every time the Gills left their half the panic in the team and crowd became noticeable and when Legge headed home it was a kind of mercy killing.
Still in our own hands though possibly it was a kick up th back side that was possible needed, Finally a word about Mr Coote the referee, SHITE.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
