[ 22 Dec 17 ] Fleetwood v GILLS Match Thread
Posted: Tue Dec 19, 2017 9:45 pm
- Since the Gills only win against Fleetwood (a 5-1 home win) they have lost the last 3 meetings and 5 of the 8 matches we have played against them.
- The Gills best result at Fleetwood was a 2-2 draw in their first trip there (March 2013). The 3 visits since saw 3 defeats.
- Fleetwood scored in each of their opening 13 league games but have failed to score in 4 of their last 6.
- Just 2 clean sheets have been kept in the 8 meetings between the Gills and Fleetwood. Both were kept by Fleetwood (1 home and 1 away).
- Fleetwood were unbeaten in 4 at home until their 3-2 defeat on Sunday. They have only won 1 of their last 11 league games after winning 6 of the first 11. The Gills have won 4 of their last 11.
- 11 games ago, Fleetwood were only a point outside of the play-offs and there were 12 points and 14 places between them and the Gills. A win for the Gills would put them a point behind Fleetwood with a better goal difference.
- Fleetwood have only lost 5 of their last 29 home league matches and kept a clean sheet in 14 of them. In the whole of last season and this season, the Gills have kept 9 league clean sheets home and away.
