Saturday 19th
Match day - Bradford City v GILLS (EFL Sky Bet League 2)

Sunday 20th
Bradford's 2nd of the match meant the Gills had conceded more than 1 first half league goal for the first time since the final game of last season (12 games). Those 2 games were the only ones in 42 matches where 2 or more were conceded before the break of a league game - a run which saw just 20 goals conceded.

Monday 21st
The Bradford defeat made it 4 successive league defeats for the first time since a run of 4 back in December 2022 and January 2023. That run of 4 followed a draw which ended another run of 4 consecutive league defeats in the October and November before.

Tuesday 22nd
Match day - GILLS v Newport County (EFL Sky Bet League 2)

Wednesday 23rd
Last season, the Gills lost 2 league and cup games all season (54 matches) having previously led at some point in the match and followed the previous season with 0 defeats in 58. Those 2 defeats after leading are the only ones in 146 league and cup games before Bradford and Accrington made it 2 out of 2 most recently.

Thursday 24th
The Newport defeat was the Gills' 700th defeat at Priestfield in all senior matches (EFL home games, Southern League home matches and all senior cups played at Priestfield). The Gills have lost by a 0-2 scoreline 402 times with Newport's win being the 110th at home by that scoreline.

Friday 25th
The Gills have lost all 5 October games after losing 4 of the 11 played in August & September. October is not a happy month for the Gills who have lost 17 of the 29 home games played that month since 2017 including 5 out of 6 in the last 2 seasons and 9 out of 17 in the last 4 (after 6 losses out of 24 in the August and Septembers).
