Alan Nixon (Twitter, the sun) reckons Gills are after Callum Hendry from Salford. Is this old news (we’ve signed Macauley Bonne now) or is it a goer. Any Salford fans hear anything or can let us know what he’s like?

There’s a big difference between a youngster with promise, and a youngster that’s good enough to be around the first team. Any youngster (18-22?) that’s good enough to play in L2 is probably worth a fair bit already. But we Gills do have a few youngsters that are in our first team. Ethan...

Not done much elsewhere? He got 68 goals for Donny at 1 in 2. And 30 for Pompey at 1 in 3 ‍ And 6 in 15 for NTFC. He’s scored goals most places he’s played. Overall 135 league goals in 420 appearances. Another 20 odd in various cups. That’s a very decent overall record.

Agree. Hearing good things about him from O’s fans on Twitter. Wonder if he’s going to be good enough to be a starter from the off? Maybe in a back 3/5. If he’s a left sided CB (is that correct?) he’ll probably be understudy to Connor Masterson if we play a back 4

Sounds like a great little tour for our fans and team. Looked to be about 300-400 gills fans made the trip. Some quality videos been shared on socials. When was the last time Gills won abroad?

Gills had a decent run out against a Dover club in turmoil. 0-4 and “got minutes into legs” as they say. 3 strikers off the mark which is always good. Put different XI’s out each half plus subs. And both XI’s were pretty good L2 standard. This time last pre-season we could barely raise one...

Do local-ish Champ or Prem teams not want to play you in pre-season normally then? Gills always play clubs like Millwall, Charlton, Palace etc pretty much every pre-season. And not just as we are in L2 and previously L1. Those clubs also play the local non-league teams like Dartford, Dover...

You do have to have at least 1 “home grown player” in the match day squad to be able to name 7 subs. Last season Gills often named only 6. We’ve got a number of young home grown players, but NH said he wouldn’t put them on the bench if he wasn’t going to use them. I thought that was weird, as...

Yeah. Think it’s capped at 55% of turnover on a 3 year rolling average. Us Gills have spent reportedly 40% the last few years (feels like 5%), so we really can “go for it” now. Especially as decent L1 wage earners have departed in O’Keefe, MacDonald and Reeves plus Mandron back in Jan.

Cheers SoC. That’s exactly right, and a great tip.

What club is that chipmunx?

It’s often us Gills that seem to drive the final nail in opposition managers coffin over the years. “Can’t be losing to them” is the cry of fans and owners alike. But they missed this one by a week. Was Micky at Tranmere 7 years or more? Very long serving manager in the current climate. Wish...

That was exactly us Gills problem pre-Xmas. We weren’t overall “bad” but we had zero threat in the final third. So any team just had to score once against our usually decent defence, and you’d walk away with the points. In the transfer window we added quality up forward (Hawkins, Nichols...

Gills expensive? Eh? Rainhamend S/T has been frozen at £300 for a few seasons. I thought that was quite decent. What’s everyone else’s prices?

Most of our players were a little down on their usual compared to their Bradford opponent. I’d say that’s down to you guys rather than collectively ours. I personally thought O’Brien had a decent game, without troubling the scorers. Hawkins was double teamed (and mugged a bit) and was pretty...

If there’s anything Gills can come up on the outside and win from nowhere this season, this is the one

For next week Harrogate gave Gills 508 away tickets. They sold out and we were given another 100 also sold out and told no more to be given. That sounds strange. Surely they have capacity for more away fans than that don’t they? 608 sold a week out. Pretty decent for that distance.

True. Anyone know why it is 4 up 4 down between L1 and 2? 3/3 Prem / Champ 3/3 Champ / L1 4/4 L1 / L2 2/2 L2 / NL So L2 is the easiest to get promoted out of and hardest to get relegated out of. Surely it would make sense for it to be 3up 3down between all divisions.

Given we scored 7 goals and claimed just 2 wins in our first 23 games, it would feel like winning the FA Cup. Actually, it feels like that for every side each season doesn’t it? It’s the one to win

Rumours it might be replaced this summer. Although another rumour says it’s just the top half at the back will be removed and a temporary roof be fitted, until it is all replaced later or we move grounds.
