Pretty sure who the culprits are here

Like I say we haven't lost at home this calendar year so I think it's fair to be confident at Priestfield. I think we have a very talented, deep squad and we've picked up some very impressive results this season. A major difference between us and other sides this season that I've noticed is the...

8th game of the season and already our 3rd 'top v second' fixture of the year. Won't pretend to know too much about Barrow other than they've taken Clemence and Connor Mahoney from our 23/24 setup. At home we're unbeaten this calendar year in the league so no reason to fear anyone at...

I think everyone knows what our issue was last season and we seem to have addressed it with a genuine goal threat, and likewise Notts seem to have addressed their major issue from last season so it could end up being a decent year for the pair of us.

Steady, I think they're taking it pretty well to be fair. Game panned out exactly how I thought it would, sounds like we had a little rub of the green to win it rather than draw but that happens in football, we take the win and move onto another 1st v 2nd encounter next weekend - which will...

It's not bad, we have (fortunately, all things considered) got a fairly deep, balanced squad this season.

Injury list a little bit up in the air from the press conference this week. Josh Andrews had suffered another one so is definitely out, but that's the norm with him sadly. Dack isn't there yet and Coleman is banned, but Jonny Williams does return which is a boost, he had a great game at Notts...

I'm not sure we'll leave much space in midfield regardless of how we set up, it's not really our thing to allow ourselves to be dominated centrally. Get out wide and get crosses in, we're more than happy defending them for 90 minutes and I'm sure you'll have plenty of balls into the box. We're...

We've had Kenny Jackett as DoF for a while and he seems pretty chilled out about it. Also with Andy Hessenthaler as chief scout we've got a heap of football league managerial experience behind the scenes and it seems to blend pretty well.

Sold approx 1000 for Notts on Saturday by the look of the online ticketing hub - only 50 or so available seats left from the 1050 allocated. Still a few days of sales before the weekend so hopefully we'll get another allocation, 1500 would be a very good travelling contingent.

Agreed, Bonner has hinted we might have a couple back for next week but anyone's guess as to which couple they might be. If one is Robbie McKenzie then that solves a lot of issues and we could stay in the same shape, but otherwise I also could see us going to a 5. I'd rather we didn't though.

I'm 90% sure after the game most will say we weren't as good as they expected us to be - for my eyes we're solid, effective, functional, but not massively entertaining. And all the while we're picking up good points I'll take that all day! We'll almost certainly play as you say, we're good on...

1st v 2nd, best attack v best defence, big crowd expected, my 2nd most local away game and I'm at a wedding. Damn it all. We had a lovely time at Meadow Lane last season, a 3-1 win on a Friday night with nearly a thousand Gills in attendance - probably most people's favourite away day last...

Norris used to play for us - I wonder what the odds are of Nevitt and Norris scoring in a 1-1?

Squad news from the press conference yesterday is that Jonny Williams misses out this weekend thanks to the concussion protocols after heading a Donny player last weekend. Dack and McKenzie have trained this week but probably won't be involved this weekend. Ehmer returns from suspension and Euan...

Tranmere at home in another tricky game, they're unbeaten so far in the league although have played one fewer. Lord knows what sort of side we'll put out, at the moment we're getting a couple back each week and losing a couple at the same time. Without doing any homework at all it seems Tranmere...

It was Hawkins rather than McKenzie, but I was pretty much bang on. No dramas, 10 points from 5 is still a good start with half a first team missing and a reasonably tough start fixture-wise. Slight concern that after our opening day victory over Carlisle we've only scored twice in 4 league...

Turns out Dack is not on the bench, Joe Gbode takes his place. Don't know why at this stage

He played there during pre season, but playing with a broken wrist today which isn't ideal. 3rd and 5th choice cbs as the partnership.

Turner McKenzie Masterson Ehmer Dieng E Williams Rowe Gbode All unavailable for today's squad. Hawkins comes back in ahead of time to plug the centre back spot, we're still quite strong even with the missing players. Bench is as good as any had in a long time, but any issues defensively and...
