One of two tough trips in a few days over Christmas.Peterborough are looking strong,and will certainly put our defence under a lot of pressure.Hopefully they will have had too much Turkey,and we can get something from the game.

Both Pet' boro and Millwall had good wins this week, hope we can at least get a couple of draws out of these two games, a win from one would be real nice, and two wins would make for a wonderful Christmas for one and all.

Let's hope the lads can save the mince pie's until after the game, a win against the Posh would certainly prove we've turned a corner.

Sounded like the most unlikely 0-0 for most of the game with both sides managing 16 shots. There were some good chances cleared off the line and the Gills had managed enough shots on target that were only bettered at full time in 12 of the 30 games this season! Gills drop to 16th but are one of 4 sides on 30 points.

A great point,and a decent performance by the sounds of it.Both of us had a lot of of chances (16 each).They seemed to miss some good chances,but when they scored in the 78th minute I expected that to be it.I think we all shouted yesss! when Cargill equalised in the 92nd minute,it sounded deserved as well.I wasn`t expecting anything against a free scoring in form side,so definitely a Christmas bonus.If we could do the same at Millwall that would be great.
