Good or bad that Oxford got the beat down from hell today, Wigan kicking them all over the pitch ?? One side of me says great they will feel low after being the laughing stock of the division, the other half of me says they will try and take it out on the Gills ?? Mr Space telescope that early goal you were preaching about after the Carlise debacle , time to give them that sermon again, an early goal against Oxford and there heads will drop and we will get THREE, count them, ONE,TWO,THREE magic points , GO GILLS.

Nice point, battled all the way till the end , get 3 against the Wombles next and there is the 7 points I thought we would get over the holiday. Go Gills.

It didn`t seem a great game,but when you`re losing with 3 minutes to go you take a point.Oxford got thrashed 7-0 in their last game,so you can see why it was hard for us to break them down yesterday with them being more defensive.Good to see Wilkinson grab a goal too.Wimbleon up next to finish of 2017.If we win we can start of 2018 in a healthy position.
