Gillingham chairman Brad Galinson reacts to Barrow defeat in League 2 with damning social media post

Gillingham chairman Brad Galinson has described their latest performance as an embarrassment.

Manager John Coleman didn’t hold back with his criticism of the players, after a 3-0 loss at Barrow dropped the Gills further down the League 2 table, and the American owner was fuming too.

Last season saw the Gills fall short of their promotion objective - one which cost Neil Harris and Stephen Clemence their jobs - and it’s looking like another write-off campaign for the club who are now looking uncomfortably over their shoulder at the relegation places.

Early hope under former boss Mark Bonner soon evaporated and it’s been going from bad to worse. John Coleman - a man with 25 years experience in management - admitted even he’s struggling to get this team to show some fight and desire.

Mr Galinson posted a message on social media shortly after their loss at Barrow.

“Embarrassed. Despondent. Frustrated,” were the three words he chose to sum up his feelings.

He added: “All I can take away from that is I am so proud and thankful for the brave souls who travelled I don’t know how many hours to support us.

“We are still Gillingham FC. We are still a tight community of people who want to be proud of our team. We are clearly not even close to that right now. Gotta figure this out. I am not a proud man right now.”

#Gills boss John Coleman accused his players of being too soft, described the performance as a disgrace and said he felt like he wanted to vomit. Here’s his take on today’s loss at Barrow
