[ 19 Mar 22 ] GILLS v Sheffield Wed Match Thread

Postby Garawa » Sat Mar 12, 2022 2:02 pm

- The results between the sides are very even. The Gills have won 7 meetings, Sheffield Wednesday have won 6 and a further 7 have ended level. This is the first meeting at Priestfield in any competition since January 2003 and the first in the league since November 2002.
- In all competitions, the Gills are unbeaten in 6 meetings with Sheffield Wednesday (3 wins) and have won 4 and drawn 1 of the last 5 at Priestfield. In their 8 visits, the visitors have never won at Gillingham in the league (4 draws).
- Sheffield Wednesday have won 8 of their last 11 league games and lost just twice, however, away from home, they have lost 4 of their last 6 trips including a 3-1 defeat at Lincoln in their previous away match.
- Since their last league blank sheet, Sheffield Wednesday have scored 18 goals in just 6 games (including 5-2 and 6-0 home win in successive matches) but have scored just 1 in each of their most recent home and away games.
- Sheffield Wednesday's 18 goals in 6 games have come from just 30 shots on target. The Gills last 18 league goals span 26 matches and have needed 82 shots on target to achieve.
- Sheffield Wednesday have failed to take a lead in just 2 of their last 13 league games and took a total of 13 leads in those games. The Gills have managed 17 league leads all season. Wednesday have only conceded leads in 3 of their last 11 games.
- Sheffield Wednesday drew 10 of the 23 games in the first half of the season, the most in the division, and have drawn just 1 of the 14 since. The 1-1 home draw with Accrington on Tuesday was their first draw in 16 games. The Gills have drawn 9 and 3 league games respectively.


(15.00) Kick Off [ 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 ]

(15.00) Straight from the kick off, attacking the Rainham End, Oliver collects his own flick on and is allowed room to shoot but hits it a little too easily for the 'keeper to collect.

(15.07) The Gills cause nervy defending in the opposition box. A corner is headed just over the bar by Wednesday to give the Gills a 3rd successive corner.

(15.24) Kelman shoots but its a little too easy for the 'keeper who parries it straight to Oliver who's soft rebounded shot is collected when he should have tested the stranded 'keeper.

(15.48) Half time 0-0

(16.03) The second half kicks off.

(16.03) Again the Gills go straight on the attack. Kelman chases down the ball in the box and tries to find Oliver but the pass is just behind him.

(16.04) Another Gills ball into the box is headered away from under the bar by Wednesday.

(16.17) O'Keefe fires in a shot which is deflected and into the arms of the Wednesday 'keeper.

(16.30) Sheffield Wednesday have a powerful shot across the 6 yard box which Chapman palms just wide of the far post for a corner.

(16.35) Another Wednesday shot is curled just wide of the left post and hits the stantion.

(16.40) The Gills get pulled out of position by Wednesday's passing. They work space and create an empty goal but shoot just wide.

(16.54) Oliver times a perfect run, holds off a challenge, catches the 'keeper off his line as he advanced to close the angle and pokes a shot inches wide of the right hand post. It looked in!

(16.54) FULL TIME 0-0
After leading 1-0 at the break, AFC Wimbledon lose 3-1 to replace the Gills in the relegation zone. Other key results:
Crewe 0-1 Bolton. Fleetwood 0-0 Doncaster. Wigan 4-1 Morecambe.
