Still no manager for the Mighty Mighty............. ,OK the Big Big............. OK the ordinary size Blue Machine , and a game against Rotherham coming up next, a team that has as many home wins as out total of wins and draws combined, home, away,neutral grounds, local park league grounds, things not looking that bright . BUT I will still be a believer that we can get out of this mess ,well at least until Christmas, after that well lets not think like that, lol.

Quick tell Scally McKinnon is available ,just been fired by Dundee Utd after two loss's in a row. Jeezzz he would be a hero here if he only lost two in a row and had a record of 5 wins,2 draws and 3 loses after ten games, GO GET HIM SCALLY.

A tough game away from home against a side who are much better at home,than away at the moment.They score plenty at home,and Keifer Moore will be a big threat.I`m not expecting anything on Saturday after the home defeat to Northampton,but then I didn`t think we would win at Peterborough.

"Keifer Moore will be a big threat" - my granny will be a big threat the way things are looking !

[gillsfan1066]

Well get granny a shirt we need her to play up front alongside Mr.Lidbit. MR.LIDBIT, MR.LIDBIT, LEAVE THE POOR WOMAN ALONE,she doesn't need you to help her put her shirt on , good grief.
A good result against R'tham would be great ,realistically a point is about all I hope for, but more importantly I just hope we don't come away going down by 3 or 4 . Then we play Orient in the cup, how nice would a cup run be for a change, then there is the stupid cup don't give to hoots about that, field the reserves that night , then BURY at home. This must not be another fiasco like the N'thmptn result was,then Walsall away, another struggling side and even if we pick up 5 points with a win and a couple of draws we will probably still be in the red zone,so dam hard to climb out once your in. GO GILLS show us what you can really do at ROTHERHAM.

[gillsfan1066]

Garawa will you put the gin bottle down and get the real score please ,what the hell is it 0-1, 0-2 to the Gills 1-2 to the Gills ?????????????????

[gillsfan1066]

WWWOOOWWW HHOOOO Well done your Granny, BIG BIG WIN against Rotherham , now lets whip Orient like 5-1 next week get ourselves a good cup draw then show Bury and Walsall what we can do, play just like we did today and get out of the cellar. OK Scally time to give the Space Telescope the keys to the managers office, GGOOO GILLS.

[Rimshot]

Three headed goals show the value at this level of getting decent crosses into the box rather than trying to walk the ball in.i think I can see the plan now and the secret is to be found watching Holy's pathetic attempt to save their goal.
We now know the oppo only has to hit the target from anything up to 35 yards out and that makes us desperate to play higher up the pitch.
Great tactics boys.

[Garawa]

Sounds like Parker and Eaves had a good game in a front 3 although I didn't hear List mentioned much? I think the formation was 4-3-3 but little was said about it from the tweets. Seems Martin was very good as well. 3 away wins in a row, time to start doing the same at home and will need to with 3 in a row.

And Gillsfan, yes it was 0-1, 0-2 and 1-3 as we were the away side!
