So, 5th hosts 6th in a rather important fixture. The Town needed to pull their act together following on from a disappointing Christmas period, but a loss to Middlesbrough wasn't quite the tonic required. The performance, however, was excellent and leaves us with some hope. It is still a worry with the form of our strikers, as Morgan's goal against Bradford is the only goal from one of our 4 excellent forwards in around 2 months. Hmm. We have also scored just thrice in our last six games. Also a little worrying. I reckon this will be a tough one, and watch out for Chris Whepdale - he will be putting in some good balls. Overall, Hessenthaler's outfit have recovered well from a slightly iffy patch and look a good bet for the play-offs, possibly even autos if they average approximately 14 goals per game. Hurst is unlikely to stay I feel, and Wallace has really enhanced his reputation with his loan stint, so he's also off - to Stevenage. I imagine Turner will start with the same 11 from the Boro game, with Grandison coming in if Hurst does indeed go. Gillingham: [*]Recent league form: DDWWLW [*]Top Scorers: Kedwell (11), Kuffour (7), Nouble (5) [*]Last Meeting: Gillingham 0-1 Shrewsbury (Wroe[pen]) [*]League Position: 6th, 41 points from 24 games, 12 Goal Difference [*]Away Record: W5, D2, L6, F22, A21 [*]Shrewsbury's Home Record: W8, D3, L0, F18, A6 [*]Lenny's SUPER Fact: Gillingham have gone 12 matches without a score draw. So there. Lenny's Prediction: Shrewsbury 2-1 Gillingham, Attendance 5,323 (Richards and Gornell)
the gills have gone through a rough patch w h shots 1-0, L a daggers 1-2, w a creepies 2-1, w h gas 4-1 d a maccs 0-0 and d h bantams 0-0. the result away to crawley is incredible and may be a harbinger of things to come on saturday, unless our lads up front are firing on all four cylinders town may have problems. i suspect our lads will have made a new years resolution and i go for a revised 3-1 home win, morgan wright and gornell. att 5350. floreat salopia
Must win game for Gillingham. Need to reverse their mauling by the Shrews earlier in the season at Priestfield.

Please, please , please let our strikers start living up to their name. I predict an improved Tomn performance and a 2-0 win (Morgan and Ainsworth).
up front for gills, kedwell has a broken rib and may not play, and according to gas boards, kouffer, who is on loan to gills has been ill since christmas. they still have dangerman rooney though. unless sold
Greenhous and Jenny please edit your posts and pop in the attendance if you want the chance of more points.
swanee swanee how i love you, nah you will be alright, how about a pre season friendly. we can provide a shrewsbury 11, our chairman in goal, the club doctor, chaplain 3 pie sellers 2 program sellers and 3 rookies up front. 3-1 to the shrews i think
