[ 31 Aug 19 ] GILLS v Bolton Match Thread
Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2019 7:47 am - There have only been 17 meetings between the Gills and Bolton. Only 2 have ended in draws and Bolton have won 9 - 7 of which have come in the last 9 meetings from which they are unbeaten.
- The Gills record at home against Bolton stands at Won 3, Drawn 1 and Lost 4. The most recent 4 results have ended 0-4, 2-2, 1-4 and 0-1.
