A tough game at the Den,they have just started winning again at home so we will be up against it.The performance at Peterborough was encouraging,so we will need that to get anything from the game.I`m sure the players will be up for it like last season.

Must make sure we get a win against Oxford, or this Christmas will go down as a bit of a disappointment. How the hell did we end up with 9 men on the pitch and Millwall didn't even get a yellow card in the whole game and PLEASE don't tell me two of our guys got sent off, lol. ??

[Rimshot]

An expected result at Millwall, although who knows what might have happened with 11 on the pitch. As I have said before Konchesky is a liability now that his aggression is used to compensate for his loss of pace.

We get an extra days rest with Oxford playing today, time for the Gills to come out strong and kick off 2017 with a big win, show us what we can expect for the rest of the season

It sounded like we had a lot of possession,but didn't do enough in dangerous areas with it.Defensively we seemed poor again.Konchesky rightly sent off after he was beat for pace.Dack too sent off to put us down to nine men.A disappointing end to the year losing to them,but the goals they scored were defendable.Losing Dack for Monday will be a blow,but let's hope we start 2017 well against Oxford.

Their second looked more like an own goal by Konchesky more than anything else and Dack was lucky not to get a straight red.
