Hello and welcome to the all new and improved Match day Hub which is now the official place for Gillingham fans, I decided to update this so that you will know where to go and chat before and during the game. I always post this a few days before the match so you can start to create a debate before the game on what you think will happen in the upcoming game, you can post who you think should play in the game and why. In addition to that you may share with us what you think the team will be that plays as that may be different to the team which you think should play, if you think a certain player should not play you can share with us the reason why as it is good to know what the fans think about the team and why certain players should not be in the team if you want to tell us why. So all you need to do is post your starting 11 plus the 7 which you think will be on the bench, you may be correct or not but it don't matter as no points are awarded it is just for fun. If I am not at the game I will normally post updates about what is going on and the team which is playing, but when I go to games I write up a match report afterwards. You can post freely during and after the game sharing your opinion with us on the result and what you thought of the players who played. If you go to the game it would be great if you could write up a match day report telling up what you think of the result and what you rate each player out of 10 giving a reason why. This is open to both Gillingham fans and also the opposition, don't be afraid to post just because you are not a Gills fan if it is friendly banter that is allowed. Have fun and debate freely! Just want to add aswell if you do any bets you can share with us what you think is the best bet, I do bets each week so I will share them with you if you want.
Gills to win 1 - 0 Kedwell to score it, if it happens £52 quids in, buy me a new home kit me thinks!!
Kedwell is starting tonight, happy about that. Also Payne is back in the team aswell as Allen. Findley, Montrose and Jackman out.
Jack Payne 0-2 was thinking he may get one today as he does get one here and there, always good goals aswell. COYG!!!!!!!
Just home from the game! Thought we were pretty comfortable most of the game! Charlie Allen's sending off was a little harsh!
I was working tonight and could not even listen to the game. Good to come home to a win though because I was really worried after Saturday's performance.
Definitely deserved to win today but nearly let them back in it. Adam Barrett simply immense at the back and ably backed up by all around him. Thought Charlie Allen was a bit naive and deserved to go. Gutted I can't go to Oxford on Sat.
Just got home from the match. We again started slowly - Town were quite lively in the first quarter of the game. Gills then got some decent possession - played football on the floor. Burton's goal was a classic breakaway - although the final stages of it was good quality. Cobblers came out blazing in the second half - which was dealt with by our solid defence - and Town gave the Gills more room in midfield - which we exploited excellently for Payne's goal. At this point our defence was fairly comfortable - until that massive throw which led to their goal. The ball reached the far post ! I 'll admit it was a bit hectic after that. It didn't help that the referee seemed intent on giving all the decisions to Northampton. Their goalkeeper should have been sent off for the foul on Allen - so it was cruel luck on him when he got a second yellow. It looked like a genuine attempt to get the ball - but on the edge of their penalty area, it was a little enthusiastic ( I think he probably felt aggreived at the challenge on him a few minutes earlier .) I spoke to Charlie Lee before the game. He said he's ready for Saturday.
Brilliant win.......at what cost? At the rate we're losing our midfielders to red cards, and this one in time added on, especially on the edge of THEIR area was naive. No wonder MA has brought so many midfielders to the club. At this rate we'll be back in the transfer / loan market. Charlie Lee, now is the time to show your new found discipline......we're going to need it for a couple of games. COYG.........Time we got promoted as Champions eh?
No need to worry windy. This is just helping MA's rotation policy We've just lost Allen and Jackman. But have Charlie Lee and Bradley Dack back. If they were all available (along with Payne, Whelps, Montrose, Wright, Weston etc etc) MA would have an even bigger headache
OK....I was panicking. I, like every other Gills fan, am just loving this start to the season. Although I left Gillingham when I was 18, I still try to get to the occasional home game and sit up (in my tin box 3000 miles away) watching Gills Live and listening to it click away. A bit tired this morning. So......it might be Burton at home for me later this month. ....COYG
