There certainly was a big change in the weather for this game, compared to the previous weekend hitting somewhere in the region of 29c. For this game it was to be an overcast and very cool 13c although pretty good for a game of football. After a pre match visit to the Cricketers we had a final stop before the game at the blues rock cafe, paying £3.20 for a pint of Johns Smith, what happened to the £2 vouchers, I guess that must only be after the game? On entering the ground we took to our normal seats, to be welcomed by some new pre match entertainment in the name of the GFC Gems. They certainly brought some razzmatazz and glamour to the day events and to be honest, it was good to lighten up the mood and appeared to be a welcomed introduction. So the match got under way and Danny Kedwell nearly opens proceedings after only about four minutes, with a clearance kick by the Port Vale keeper, being charge down by Kedwell and only just clearing the goal. However, Port Vale was to also to be denied on about 26 minutes, when they rattled the Gillingham crossbar with Ross Flitney well beaten. On 32 minutes though, Port Vale was to take the lead when Marc Richards was to score from close range. That is how it ended at half time with Port Vale 1-0 up, although it certainly seemed a bit unjust on the Gills first half performance. I was at this stage beginning to think, no matter what the Gills failings in some previous games, sometimes it is down to just the pure rub of the green. On 63 minutes Gillingham were to eventually get their just reward, when Danny Kedwell scored from a twice taken penalty to bring the game level at 1-1. I was sometimes frustrated by Frank Nouble's position on the right, not a criticism of the towering strength of the player, who appeared to be a target for some heavy stuff from the Port Vale players, although that is probably the only way you are going to stop a man of Franks size. I am not sure when big Franks loan spell is up but I really hope West Ham will allow it to be extended and that Chairman Scally has the finances to do so. As for Rooney, I’ve always been a supporter of his although I have had to doubt myself at times in the past. Today he did not disappoint and run is socks off, until Hessy substituted him on 83 minutes. I think the only change I would make from a personal opinion is to stop Rooney taking the corners, stats show that the total count was we had 11 corners but while watching the game, I never really felt we were going to score from any of them, which is a little frustrating. Matt Lawrence did not seem the player he was earlier in the season, he certainly did not appear to be so vocal in his communications, I can only think after his recent reported concussion at Hereford, then the slip at AFC Wimbledon, which led to their first goal, it has probably knocked his confidence a little bit. A fair 90 minute performance from the Gills today.

Gillingham 2 v 0 Port Vale (Kedwell, Whelpdale)
I like the optimism brb but I think a draw will be the best we can get. Our home form against their away form....... It's going to be tough. Gills 1 1 Vale (Legge, Pope)
Gillingham 3 (Whelpdale, Barrett, Kedwell) Port Vale 0 This is my last game of the season, so I hope it's a good one!!
Gills 3 Vale 2 (Burton,Birchall,Weston Popex2) The most entertaining game of the season with Birchall grabbing the winner in the 85 minute
Biggest game of season so far will it be the highest attendence. I think it will be just under 8000. Gills 1 Port Vale1( Kedwell,Pope) I will be happy as long as we don t lose.
Gills 0-0 Port Vale I wonder what odds you would get on Micky Adams being the next Gills manager if you placed that bet now ??
Woo Im top! Im going to predict the following: Gillingham 2-2 Port Vale (Burton, Fish; Pope x2) However I will quite happily relinquish top spot if we win
Gills 2 Vale 2 (Weston, Kedwell, Pope 2) Tough game and will be happy with a point purely as like us they are better away from home and they will be looking for revenge from earlier in the season. We have struggled at home lately so as much as i would like the win, the head says be lucky to get a point!
My heart is saying win but my head says that we will draw, but I will go with the heart as that is better Gillingham 2-1 Port Vale (Kedwell, Weston- Pope) I will change this when we sign Cody McDonald
