Well, before New Year, in 23 games Gills had only won 2 and scored 7 goals. We set our own club record of 6 games without a goal early on. Then a couple of months later beat it with another 7 game run without a goal. That’s how bad we were. Dunno about the other 11 in the bottom half.

Yeah? My OCD says you lose surely. Then W2 Rd Rd D2 L2. Gills have a very tough one at Mansfield. They’ve got injuries, and now it looks like we do too with Hawkins and Nichols both under an injury cloud. Unless NH is playing mind games. I’d take a point right now if offered. I’d go with...

Straight out of the Steve Evans quote book that one. After any game that his side gets beat.

Another Gills fan here. Not exactly “new”. I’ve been in the boards for years, but I don’t post much, and before this season it was up in the heady heights of L1 so you lot won’t have been part of those discussions Very happy with Connor Masterson returning. He was class in L1 for us. He should...

Sounds like you’re a Gills fan. That’s been our tactics for 10 years. Although for £500k, substitute £50k plus add ons.

Why? We only had a squad of about 19 before the takeover. We’ve had 5 go out (one back in perm - Morris). And only 5 others back in so far inc 2 of them youngsters for the future. So we still have a small first team squad. We might have handed out a couple of decent contracts recently. But that...

Wow ! People in a lot of industries, particularly in the public eye, have lost their jobs and been pilloried for making any one of those sort of “banter” comments made there. This guy, according to the evidence, apparently did it constantly and relentlessly. Dinosaur is about the kindest...

Fully agree DVR. We all know the football gods have a habit of p!ssing all over the best laid plans. Thing is, you’ve got to have that plan regardless. And this guy (and his family who all seem invested) seems to have the business nous and some financial clout to set the scene, provide some...

No argument from me Dan. We don’t know the wages of any of them, but rumoured to be a lot higher than current. A few things put my mind at ease though. 1/ Think the contracts are all 1.5 and 2.5 years. Morris is only till end of this season. 2/ Of the others the oldest so far is only 30...

Pure and simply fan engagement. That’s social media for you.Dunno about your club, but it seems to get all the fans up in a frenzy, talking about the club, positive vibes etc etc. And it’s not just a “signing imminent” then “signing announcement”. It’s followed up with a “What do you think...

No worries. Glad we can help For too many years we’ve had no money at all to pull our weight and help you buggers out. It’s only right we do our fair share now. Mind you, it sounds like we’ve probably spent between £200k - £300k total on our 5 signings so far. Hardly breaking even the...

So, those in the know from any club, who would you take out of the Mansfield in /out? George Lapslie or Louis Reed? Who is the better player right now and into the future? Or are they too different to bother comparing?

That debut by Tom Nichols was superb. He was involved in everything and really linked up well with our new target man Ollie Hawkins. It’s like they’d played together for a few seasons. Add in a good goal and a quality assist, he was excellent. Hope for more of the same. Glenn was good too, but...

Still down completely for me. Haven’t been able to access the whole of Vital forum network for over 2 days. Anyone else?

CheckFish just replied on Twitter that since the promo went up at 11am we’ve sold over 3,000 tickets. Add in the S/T holders, and the Crawley away fans it’s going to be a decent size crowd for this one Nice to hear that numerous fans have paid a decent sum or full price.

I haven’t been able to access it for a day and a half. Server down constantly.

Great initiative. And probably welcomed by a lot in these hard economic times. Hopefully some more well off fans will take up a little slack by still paying a decent price. Get the place packed out

Tim Dieng is a great signing for us. Should do the business in L2 and he looks a big unit. We currently lack a bit if height. Exeter fans in the main seem sorry to lose him.

FFS! That’s supposed to be us Gills making signings now. Very impressed with their last 2 signings. Connor Hall and Matt Jay both have recent L2 promotions on their resume. Hopefully the rumours down here of 3 or 4 players in the next few days turn out correct. Stockley would be a huge in. And...

Playing wise our current needs are short term. Long term planning can wait until summer. And best it does. If we are NL by then, it will need a completely different plan.
