James Brophy

It took just three minutes for the Gills to get ahead in this game when Harry Waldock tapped it home after Connor McManus put it on a plate for him on the hour mark.

Shrewsbury had a penalty, this time not conceded by Armani Little, but James Brophy, it seems, brings down Tom Sang and George Lloyd converts from the spot.

And I believe he was taken off on a stretcher last week, so it's good to see that he was a back-fighting fit for Shrewsbury in this one.

Gareth Ainsworth, on the other hand, is able to have the last laugh as in the 80th minute, Andrew Smith scores after Wilbrook does well to keep out Bradley Dax's shot slash cross, but Smith is there to tap it home from close range.

I have stepped in for him.

And I'm joined tonight by new dad, James.

Congratulations, mate.

Thanks, mate.

It's not rocket science.

It's not rocket science.

What they should have done is they should have looked at players like James Brophy where not of his quality as such, because for me, he's the best midfielder in this division.

But you look at people like James Brophy, who season after season after season will go and complete 40, 45, 50 games.

Nick Freeman again down the right-hand side.

Think ball to the far post, found its way to James Brophy, who got the ball back into the danger area.

The Minsteader, the Gambian, lovely first touch, lovely turn, lovely low finish.

Into the corner at pass, Eyestone to give Jules a lead.

On the 67th minute, no, don't do anything.

Siller was the nemesis of Eyestone yet again a few minutes later.

On that period of the game, the forwards played through by James Brophy.

Siller took a touch past the keeper who brought him down.

... until we see the team sheet on Saturday.

Um, do you think he'll rush him back, or do you reckon that maybe Brophy might have an- another week at left wing back? Although we do wanna see him push forward into his more natural midfield role.

Ideally I guess Conor would be fit, but how do you see that one playing out?

Yeah.

I agree with you.

I, I think we've, we've got to try our utmost this weekend to try and get Brophy back into that midfield.

Yeah.

Um, we've lacked it.

Um, so I think-- I don't know what the Gills injury situation is.

I know there was a like not as bad as what Swindon is, but there was a few in there and I think I saw James Brophy, uh, I don't know if it was at half-time or at full-time was sort of limping a little bit, but obviously if it was half-time, I think he played the whole game.

So it might-

He played, he played the, he played the full game last week looking at it.
