We have had good start,but this will be a tricky game.I would take a point,but we should cause Walsall problems going forward with our pace.

I'm inclined to agree with KFG, Walsall have started the season well and could prove to be our hardest test yet.
They have some very quick forwards who will try and get in behind our (slow) defence, will probably be a very open game
and finishing our chances could be critical.

0-0 it is then ha ha. I'd be very happy with that too. Remain unbeaten and only 1 goal conceded in 4 games. We look potent up front with plenty of movement so keeping clean sheets would ensure a good season.

Another three points for the Big Blue machine called Gillingham FC. Walsall beat an average 4th division Tranmere in mid week and managed to beat a Plymouth side without a win after 2 games in the league, that seemed to think they could foul there way to 3 points against Walsall last week.
More points for the Gills in their promotion push and the start of Walsalls tumble to the 4th division. GO GILLS.

Disappointing to lose,but the first half cost us.We played a lot better in the second half,and if the consolation goal had come 5 minutes before you never know what could have happened.We have had a decent start,so we cannot be too down.Sunderland on Wednesday is an exciting game,and the whole place will be bouncing.

For so long it's been been the same old same old story, Gillingham came on strong in the second half, Gillingham nearly snatched a point at the end , come out slow Wednesday night and we will be down 0-2 in 15 minutes. GO GILLS.
