Saturday 21st
Match day - GILLS v Oldham Athletic (EFL Sky Bet League 2)

Sunday 22nd
Against Oldham, Ronan Hale managed shots on target in 6 consecutive Gills matches (10 shots on target in total), the first player to do so since Oli Hawkins had shots on target in 6 successive matches in February 2024 (managing 8 in those matches).

Monday 23rd
Since September 2005, Oldham have visited Priestfield 10 times and have only lost 2 of them. Their 3-0 win was their second in that spell and the 3rd time in 9 that they scored 3 goals. They also prevented the Gills from scoring for a 6th game in that spell of 10 visits.

Tuesday 24th
The Gills have lost their last 3 games 0-1, 0-1 and 0-3. The last time the Gills lost 3 consecutive league games was also the last time they suffered 3 successive blank sheets at the very end of Mark Bonner's tenure in January 2025 - 0-2 and 0-1 losses that ended with another home 0-3 defeat.

Wednesday 25th
The 0-3 loss to Oldham was the Gills' 46th home league or cup defeat by that scoreline at Priestfield in 121 seasons and was the 2nd this season. They hadn't lost 0-3 at home more than once since the 2003/4 season but had suffered 1 in each of the previous 8 seasons (but in only 5 of those away from home).

Thursday 26th
The Gills have conceded 5 goals at home and 3 away in the first 10 minutes of games this season and have also conceded 5 at home and 3 away between the 11th and 20th minutes. It is very even after:
1 to 10 - 5 and 3
11 to 20 - 5 and 3
21 to 30 - 2 and 2
31 to 40 - 1 and 1
41 to 50 - 1 and 1
Between the 61st and 70th minutes, 4 of the 5 goals conceded came away from home whilst 7 of the 11 conceded in the final 10 minutes were at Priestfield.

Friday 27th
The Gills have had the most possession in successive away games (54% at Chesterfield and 57% at Crewe) and had only enjoyed more possession away from home in 3 of the 21 away games before them. Since the start of last season, of the 15 away games with more possession, only 1 came in a win (8 defeats).
