Great result today now Scally sign Lee TODAY, don't wait until the end of the season make the deal ,if he knocks in another dozen or so this season someone else will snap him up, and he is what we need big time. I think looking at the Gills team all in all it is not a bad team,I think it is a better team than a lot of those around us, and it seems when we get off to a good start we win games, and not have to rely on scoring in the 93rd minute to grab a point.
Come on Steve Evans start earning your money and stop just goofing around,teach a couple of those guys in midfield how to hold the ball and then play it forwards to one of our guys and let them do the rest.

Well I really didn’t see a 4-1 win! Crewe love to play on the edge,and they kept passing around their half,which with our high pressing game was not a good idea! A Graham penalty,and then goals from Lee,and Dempsey put us in control at half-time.Another Lee goal in the second half killed the game off.They pulled one back late in the game,but the game was won at halftime.

A really good win,especially as they were ten unbeaten before.Our first double win of the season.I don’t think anyone saw that result,but it shows you don’t know what Gills side will turn up! Three games unbeaten,and a tough game away to Sunderland next.

We could never afford to buy him unless we use some money from the Walsh sale. I know his fee would be small given that he only has a couple of months left on his contract but we would have to seek getting him for free at the end of the season and then, as you say, he may have plenty of other clubs checking him him out. I'm sure we will be seeking to get him settled and willing to stay so he doesn't want to go elsewhere.
