Defence tightened slightly against Millwall last week and keeper is definitely an improvement as he tries to dominate his area although that has already led to one mistake costing a goal.
Dack finishes his suspension so will hopefully be fresh for the Charlton game on Easter Monday
On balance...
Getting back to the title of this link, is everyone convinced that the change of manager has been a success?
A lot is riding on Europa League success but if United fail there, there is a real possibility that instead of winning the FA Cup and missing out on CL on goal difference under LVG...
Why Bury rather than us? Just because we finally scraped an unexpected home point yesterday after four straight defeats? We still need one more even if Bury don't collect any more.
We are certainly the (non) form team at the moment, and all the rest are at least capable of keeping the...
Well, you already have three more guaranteed as we still have to come to your place and we have already declared (to use a cricket term) at our existing points total. Twelve conceded in our last four games, all lost.
That would take you to fifty and your goal difference is worth an extra point...
Well, duh, how long have we been telling you? As fast as the lead weighted turd our team resembles.
First rule of Gills - concede early, preferably two
Second rule of Gills - On the rare occasion that you recover, always leave a minute or two for the other team to wake up from coasting in time...
I am getting a strange vibe this year that fans of a number of teams involved in this scrap are not getting as anxious as usual as they think that if their team goes down, they will have thoroughly deserved it.
In our case, the three wins we have chalked up in recent times - Southend Bury and...
This time of the season is all about momentum. Oldham Bury and Shrewsbury seem to have been pretty solid recently and I have an ominous feeling that Swindon are going to make a late dash for safety.
Only Vale and the Gills are in shocking form. Peterborough at home was our least difficult game...
We have scored 51 league goals this season compared to your 26. I would not like to watch your lot week in week out but at this time having a defence that has conceded less than a goal per game is more important.
Eight nil nil draws would make us safe. Unfortunately we only have two clean...
If we are still in the mix on the final day it will definitely be us.
We will be facing the Manager we sacked in January and we have an appalling record of going down with barely a whimper at a time that we should be fighting for our lives, while all the other teams involved raise their game...
Vale will beat MK on Saturday. One of our only two clean sheets this season was at home to MK. No cutting edge at all and the Wombles demolished them the other week.
Vale's away form must be a mental thing as they have always been strong at home.
It sounds like our defence will be coming...
We now officially have the worst defence in the division. We have no fit full backs and only one that may be back before the end of the season.
We have conceded ten goals in the last three games and now one of our two fit centre backs is suspended, forcing us to play a youth player alongside...
I may be unduly pessimistic but we are not there yet. Fortune smiled on us yesterday with the three penalties but they were our only shots on target in a home match.
4froale mentions Oldham's remaining fixtures but we have Bolton, Millwall and Fleetwood at home plus Rochdale and in form...
I am not sure whether Robinson's natural inclination to mouth off helps much. He must believe that it will provoke a positive reaction from the players but if the last year's results at MK and Charlton are anything to go by, he is sadly mistaken.
In our case, we are not sure yet whether Pennock...
You should certainly feel confident going in to this one. It was all one way traffic at Swindon on Tuesday but our keeper Nelson kept us in it until the floodgates inevitably opened.
I think our fans have become more relaxed as we now assume we will be relegated.
On the other hand, it was not so...
There is a theory on our fan message board that the second yellow was for dissent with Inniss being sarcastic to the lino and clapping him about the award of the free kick. Ref did consult the lino and took his time so that could be the reason.
If that is what is in the refs report but Tango man...
Based on statistics, Nelson should have a claim on the worst, having only kept two clean sheets in the league this season, both at home. He also has a tendency to throw one in ever so often and doesn't come off his line much.
On other occasions he has saved us though and our defence is...
I honestly would like to know on what basis you say it was not a penalty. Are you saying Demetriou did not make contact with McDonald or that he played the ball?
The photo in this report would seem to indicate against the latter...
Errr...Not having won in eleven matches and only one clean sheet all season will do that to your confidence.
Typical us though. First double of the season and it is against a top six side. BBC stats showed that before Inniss was sent off, Southend had only had one shot and none on target. After...
