The first of two big games.Both Wimbledon and Rochdale are expected to be down there with us,so it is important to get 4-6 points from these two games.We usually draw at home to Wimbledon,but we need to end the poor run sooner rather than later.I`m not expecting a goalfest tomorrow,but hope we can sneak the win.

If we lose this one the fans should be singing Free Falling,by Tom Petty......There a BAD TEAM with a crap owner, there a bad team going nowhere as usual..................BUT, I expect a win today which will see the Gills start climbing up the table,couple of teams above us loosing and we could easily be back in he top 10, GO GILLS.

Pathetic , clueless, not prepared, just a bunch of rubbish. Well done the Space Telescope and Scally for putting a crap inferior product on the pitch. I hope the next home game is boycotted by the Gills fans, and no one but season ticket holders turn up, only way Scally is ever going to understand the fans are fed up with the shite he puts on the pitch week in week out,year in,year out.

My apologies to Scally and the Space Telescope, according to mr.garawa's report as the game went on, we were playing both Bradford and Wimbledon at the same time,in that case I think only loosing 0-1 was pretty good.

An awful performance.The worst I can remember in ages.We looked so off the pace,we resulted to hoof ball which just came straight back at us.Wimbledon were nothing special,yet looked better in attacking areas.Piggott was lively and grabbed the only goal after a mix up between Holy and Garmston.It says something when our only shot on target was in the last minutes from a free kick.Really disappointing as these games are against teams who will be down there with us.

Wimbledon were awful. They won because we were worse. Lovell said he didn't send them out to play that way so why on earth did they resort to long balls straight to Eaves who couldn't deal with them? Annoyingly, I think Reilly and Wilkinson are two of our better players at holding on to the ball and playing in other players yet both were in midfield and both saw the balls flying high over their heads. Reilly looked incredibly frustrated as he dropped deeper and deeper trying to get on the ball. Even more annoyingly, Wimbledon a couple of times played the same long balls and their forwards received and attacked with them. Eaves just cannot play that way....certainly not when he has three defenders holding him down! The team simply cannot play that way again. If we are going to bypass the midfield entirely why not just get them off the wage bill and start matches with 7 on the pitch.
