pennywise 0 Posted December 26, 2009 gotta agree i`ve had a real downer on the bloke and was gutted when rusty went off ..but he sat in there well and i hardly noticed rusty was gone [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,580 Posted December 26, 2009 Thought he was better than Rusty, who Millwall pretty much marked out of the game, fair play to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canary_82 0 Posted December 26, 2009 I agree, I let out a grown when I saw Rusty replaced, but Matty Gill was brilliant today, solid, passed well, looked good and confident. I hope we can see more of this from him!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackney Canary 0 Posted December 26, 2009 Absolutely spot on. He was excellent - didn''t do anything flash, but just roamed around mopping things up here and there and then playing a nice, simple pass. Stood off well and timed his tackles to perfection. In fact, he reminded me a little of Sammy Clingan in the way that he carried the ball. Top marks - and so important to have bench players who can come in and perform...

Lambo 0 Posted December 26, 2009 Aha finally, I rated Gill when he joined and had been disappointed with him so far, albeit he''s not really had a chance to settle into the side. Pleased the lad might just have found his feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Davie Ross 0 Posted December 26, 2009 I completely agree with all comments. A lot of supporters haven''t given Gill a fair chance but he did really well today. I''m pleased for the lad and hope he can put his injury problems behind him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beauseant 0 Posted December 26, 2009 Like most earlier posters I was really worried that losing Rusty would cause us problems, but Gill, like Nelson, stepped up to the plate and performed. Hats off to the lad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hissing Sid 154 Posted December 26, 2009 Like a lot of others, I was still waiting to be impressed by him. Today though I thought he was excellent playing the role that Russell has made his own this season. Break up the opposition attack, then just give the easy ball. Really good 45 minutes.

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted December 26, 2009 Used the ball well but for me stands of the opposition far to much which gives them the space to attack!That said I was all up for getting rid of him ASAP but hes proved today that hes capable of doing a job as a backup squad till the end of the season!

Yes, that loses a few yards, but it''s better than jumping in and getting booked, or, worse, jumping in and missing the ball completely, like a certain right back whose last name is quite long and begins with O.

Hooleyfan 0 Posted December 26, 2009 Didn''t surprise me when Rusty got taken off...he really didn''t seem to be himself today, off the pace and a bit half hearted, albeit he put in a couple of important blocks on their shots. Sort of relieved to hear that the cause would appear to be an injury, so looking forward to him coming back within a game or two refreshed. Like others, didn''t see Gill as fitting into this team, but today it clicked for him. He is a sound fall back option for me though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NW1 0 Posted December 27, 2009 Sorry, still not impressed with this guy. Weak, mediocre midfielder who''s never going to put foot in. Distribution is his strong-point apparently? He was ''tidy'' today yes. Don''t think even the influence of Lambert will change his ways.He''ll do while we have injuries... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
