Another tricky game against a team finding a new vein of form, I won't relax until we get 3 more wins and 53/4 points.
I have never felt happy with looking at 50 points as safety, we have seen relegation at that level before.
A hard fought win on Saturday would get us that little bit closer.

I can see us ending up around the 60/63 point mark, 9/10/11th in the table ,three wins short of a promotion place but not a bad year after the start Mr Useless our manager at the time gave us. Got some tough games coming up , Shrews, Rotherham, Blackburn, Bradford City, but with games against Walsall, Bury, MKDons,Doncaster, Southend there should be no problem picking up 10 points or so, and the way we play some of the promotion contenders we might well pick up a win or two against the likes of Bradford, BR, Rotherham.
I am not worried about safety I think were home and dry there, I worry that The space Telescope will be snapped up by another team, and we will be back at square one starting next season, I sure hope not.

Another home game on a Saturday,and we go into the game in confident mood after the win at Northampton on Tuesday night.Walsall had a good result on Tuesday too,so will be looking forward to the game.A win would put us on 47 points,and near enough safe.Also would keep the slim play-off talk alive.

Come on Gillingham, give your manager a win, late goal for the Gills coming up just to crown a great week with the Space Telescope being voted " Manager of the Month."

Another 2 points dropped, shame , never mind another game next week.

Only saw the score,but many said it wasn`t the best of games.Eaves hitting the post semed our best chance.We do tend to draw at home to Walsall,so probably not surprising.It`s a point closer to the 52 though.
