The defeat by Hull was only the Gills 3rd opening league defeat in 13 seasons and their first since 2014. The Gills have started a league campaign at home in 10 of the last 20 seasons and Hull was their second defeat. They had won 7 of them including 5-0 wins over Preston and Swindon and a 4-0 win over Sheffield Utd.

Despite 2 wins out of 3 at the start of this season against lower league opposition, the Gills have managed 26 fewer shots at goal than their opponents have managed (30 against 56).

The Gills have started the season with 4 successive home matches for the first time in their history.

Thursday 17th
The Gills 5-4 penalty shootout win came after previous 1-3 and 1-4 penalty losses in the League Cup. They last scored 5 in a shootout in the League Cup in 1987, also winning 5-4 on pens in a FL Trophy game the season before. Since 2005, the Gills lost 6 of 9 shootouts.

The Gills have only won 2 of their last 6 home league games (the other 4 ended in 2 draws and 2 defeats) but are unbeaten away from home in the league in their last 9 games, winning 2 of them and both coming in the last 4 games.
