Three good points today, and we move what one place up in the table ? So easy to drop down ,so hard to climb up,must be something to do with Newton's law of gravy.

And some good goals too; possession stats look low but today a bit more clinical with the finishing.

Steve Evans had the fans in mind when sending Gillingham out against Charlton with the aim of claiming the bragging rights from the local tussle.

There might not have been 1,400 fans behind them at The Valley but they weren’t far from their minds after clinching a 3-2 victory.

What a win! Only our second win at the Valley,and we did it style! A goal in the first 31 seconds from Lee set the tone.They then hit the post twice before equalising.Ogilvie scored an absolute belter to make it 1-2,before they equalised again.Aneke getting sent off helped us as went on got a winner from Dempsey.Another decent finish,and we saw the game out well after.I just wish the fans were there,as it would been quality.I would have taken a point before,but that is three decent points in a tough run of games.Hopefully we can get something v Peterborough before the kinder matches.

All 3 goals were sensational. Ings scored a good goal for Southampton that was nothing compared to Ogilvie's yet the commentator couldn't contain himself. If you haven't seen the goals, as always, the You Tube link can be found at the bottom of the match report.
