The Gills only conceded 26.8% of the shots on target they faced. The Gills defence stopped more percentage of shots than any other League 1 side.

The Gills conceded the fewest corners in League 1 last season with 146. It was 77 fewer than the amount they had won and 89 fewer than the total conceded by Bristol Rovers (the most in the division).

Wednesday 2nd
The Gills ended last season's league campaign conceding 14 second half goals from their 35 games. Only Sunderland (13) conceded fewer second half goals.

Thursday 3rd
The Gills go into the new season having lost 2 competitive matches in 19 (including the FA Cup defeat to West Ham) and 3 defeats in 23. In that time, they have won 11 matches.

Friday 4th
The Gills will kick off their season with a home tie for the first time in 5 seasons. In those 5 seasons, it will be the second time they start against Southend having also played Doncaster twice on the opening day. The Gills haven't lost an opening day fixture since 2014.
