CHECK out T&A chief sports writer Simon Parker's match overview as City served up a second-half horror show in their 4-0 defeat at Gillingham.

MAN OF THE MATCH

Lewis O’Brien looked the brightest City player up to half-time – impossible to judge anyone after that.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH

When O’Brien’s inviting cross hit Eoin Doyle’s standing foot a couple of yards from goal at 0-0.

MOAN OF THE MATCH

That second half was embarrassing as City just collapsed like a pack of cards.

TACTICS

Thomas Isherwood made his first league start with Connor Wood switching to right back. Sean Scannell and Joe Riley added to the injury list.
