Saturday 22nd
Match day - Bradford City v Gills (League 2)

Sunday 23rd
The Gills' second goal against Leyton Orient was the second in-game penalty scored this season (both by defenders). Including Kashket's miss against AFC Fylde, the Gills have won 3 penalties in their last 72 games following 4 in the opening 36 games of last season. The Gills scored a further 17 this season in shootouts.

Monday 24th
The Gills' 2-0 win over Leyton Orient gave them a positive home league goal difference for the first since the first home game of the season. Last season, the Gills only enjoyed a home positive goal difference in the league in match 2 and it was negative or neutral from all subsequent games.

Tuesday 25th
Despite a woeful first half of the season for results, the Gills have recovered to win 14 league and cup games at home this season, equalling the number of wins in 2015/16 and 2011/12 with a game remaining. They last won more (15) in the relegation season of 2009/10 which followed 13 wins in the promotion season 2008/09.

Wednesday 26th
The Gills draw at Bradford avoided it becoming 3 defeats in the 3 away games played in April. It means the Gills' victory at Peterborough in 2021 is the club's only league and cup success on the road in the 32 away games played in April since 2011.

Thursday 27th
The 2 goals against Bradford means they have scored in 8 consecutive games after scoring in 15 of the 36 league games which preceded them. 4 league games was their best scoring run previously. 11 goals have been scored in those 8 games including 7 against 4 sides in the top 7.

Friday 28th
The Gills have scored 10 and conceded 10 league and cup goals in the final 10 minutes (plus stoppage time) of all games this season. 10 of those 20 goals have been in the 90th plus minutes. 4 of the 10 scored by the Gills have come in the last 10 games and 5 of the 10 conceded have come in the last 9 games.
