Torquay will be a walk in the park for Gills, or will it?
I like to think that we should be unbeatable and sweep all before us aside but is that realistic.
A lot of fans are critical of the teams recent results, believing we are better than this team or that team, believing that we only need turn up to win.
Imagine if you can being neutral.
Looking at Gillingham 3 most recent away games:-
Dons 3 â 1 Gills
Hereford 1 â 6 Gills
Southend 1 â 0 Gills
Looking at Torquay 3 most recent home games:-
Torquay 2 â 2 Cheltenham
Torquay 3 â 3 Rotherham
Torquay 1 â 1 Morecambe
So Torquay have taken points from 3 of the top sides in league 2 whilst Gillingham have managed just 1 win against relegation fodder. If your a betting man the odds should be heavily in favour of a home win, evens a draw, outside away win.
Having now convinced everyone that we stand no chance I'm going for 2 â 1 too Gills, I won't however be reaching for the razor if it goes wrong, I won't consider the season is finished if we don't win, I won't be calling for mass sackings if we fail to score, I won't pretend I suddenly know more than the manager because I got promoted on a play station game.
Remember the old saying:-
âIt's not life or death, it's more important than thatâ
