Sounds like List had another amazing game - scored the first, had a second ruled out for handball, forced a great save whilst having his shirt pulled in the box and set up the winner. How important is he becoming to the side? Amazing result considering they were desperate to avenge that scoreline in the week and threw everything at us.

They had THIRTY ONE SHOTS to our seven, SIXTY TWO PERCENT of the play, NINE CORNERS to our one and still lost, lol.
I hope this win and the Cardiff result is not going to cloud the owners judgement into thinking were OK, and a mid table finish is guaranteed, were still only four points from the drop zone with THREE of those teams on 27 points.
We have not bought anyone in on loan ,on a free or any thing since the transfer window opened have we ?
GO GILLS 3 wonderful points today, how I don't know but it says it's so on the Beeb, so it must be so,lol.

It was a burglary

For some reason I thought Burton was up by Sunderland, just been looking at the pix of the town,the river reminds me of Eynesford in Kent. Looking at a map of the area I think I can see why they get such small gates. Stoke, Derby, Wolves, Leicester, Birmingham, Coventry ,all like about 20 miles away and much older well established teams. To think the Gills complain there gates are not what they should be with mighty Maidstone, Ebbsfleet, Faversham and Chatham, so close, lol.

A very important win.It wasn’t deserved as they battered us,but we will take it all day long.It sounded like they should have had 4 goals by H/T,but we went in 2-0 up.They got it back to 2-2 and were unlucky not to score 3 or 4,but we kept going and got a big winner in the 90th minute.A big three points with the gap below now 4 points
