I will be making my first trip to Rochdale tomorrow.Hoping we can bounce back from this poor run we are on.It’s a tough place to go,but we need to stop this run of defeats.

WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH, WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH,two shots on goal, well done Gillingham,thats the way to do it,YOU DAM PATHETIC LOSERS.


Hey Gillsfan , Scally here, I want you to know were still above the drop zone so thats not bad is it, and it's not really my fault were not doing well, I gave the Manager over 400 quid to spend on new players during the summer,so I am BLAMELESS ??

Hi Gillsfan,The Space Telescope here, if you were me , would you be applying for the Managers job at Truro City or Dulwich Hamlet , I hear they are both about to become vacant, and some guy called Steve Bruce has applied for my job, so ?

We looked decent in the first seven minutes,and played some good stuff.Should have scored,but we defended poorly and were 2-0 down quite quickly after.After we resulted to hoofball up to a frustrated Eaves.Our best chance after was when Eaves smashed the bar.We struggled as soon as they got the goal like we believed we wouldn’t come back.We need a win fast,but you cannot see where it will come from at the moment.
