Mad that it is the last game of the season already.It does go quick! I would like to see Nash get 60 minutes or so in a game that has nothing on it.I hope we can finish on a high against a much improved Plymouth.They have only a slight chance of nicking 6th place from Charlton.

Just think a win today and we could finish a couple of places above last years debacle of a season. What a waste,two whole seasons,three managers, lost two of our best players, and we might have improved by at best three spots in the THIRD DIVISION.WAH,WAH, WAH.

Why today ? Were Plymouth that bad , knowing they would not make the playoffs did they just roll over and quit,or did Gillingham actually play like they should have been playing all season ?

They looked lively, especially when equalising as they run after the ball and placed it on the spot. They believed they could get something but, knowing they needed a 4 of 5 clear win, our second killed the game off really and it became an end of season exhibition match. We wanted it more as we were keen to end that run, hence the very strong starting XI and bench Lovell selected. A very enjoyable match.

What a game! I don`t think anyone saw that goalfest coming.The Weather was great too.3-1 at H/T,and Eaves used the stick from the Plymouth fans by banging in a hat-trick which was completed in the second half.Plymouth had to go for it,so there was gaps for us.List scoring a very well taken goal in the last minute was a great way to finish the season.You wouldn`t think that we have struggled at home.A nice break now from Gills and recharge the stress batteries!
