Postby Garawa » Sat Mar 26, 2022 7:17 pm

- Sunderland have 9 wins to the Gills 3 and 5 games have been drawn. The Gills are winless in 4 meetings after back-to-back wins within 19 days in 2019.
- The Gills have never won at the Stadium of Light, however, they have drawn their last 3 visits with the last 2 both ending 2-2. Since losing their first 3 away trips to Sunderland, the Gills have drawn 4 and lost 1 of the 5 visits since.
- Sunderland are unbeaten in 6 games in the league after going winless in 5. They have accrued 21 points with 5 wins in the second half of the season whilst the Gills have managed 19 points (from 1 more game played), also with 5 wins.
- Sunderland won 14 of their opening 17 games in all competitions but only 10 of the subsequent 32 games. At home, they won 9 and lost 1 of their opening 11 home league matches and since have won 3 and lost 3. They are, however, unbeaten in their last 3, winning the last 2.
- Sunderland have the joint fewest home blank sheets, only failing to score in 1 home league match this season. They have kept 4 clean sheets home and away in their last 5 matches, conceding just 1 goal in those 5 games.
- Sunderland have taken the most shots on target in the league (199); it is an average of 5.1 per game. The Gills average 3.4 shots on target per game and have only managed 5 or more in a game in 6 of their 40 league games this season.


(15.03) Kick Off [ 5 - 3 - 2 ]

(15.11) From a Sunderland corner, Chapman half comes and then retreats. A header goes about a yard wide of his left post.

(15.18) Pritchard forces a decent stop from Chapman, however the flag is up.

(15.23) Sunderland strike the top of the bar.

(15.25) Kelman has Vadaine as an option but he goes for goal, left footed. Keeper is not quite on his post, but it's just off target!

(15.29) Chapman makes a good save from Roberts from just outside the box.

(15.44) The Gills pick up a third yellow card (Chambers) in the space of 4 minutes after bookings for Lee and Tutonda.

(15.51) Half time 0-0
Other key half times: Crewe 1-1 Fleetwood; Morecambe 2-0 Burton, Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 AFC Wimbledon; Wycombe 1-0 Doncaster

(16.07) The second half kicks off.

(16.22) Bit of pin ball at the near post, the post is struck before the ball runs for the second of 3 successive corners for Sunderland.

(16.26) Key Goal: Crewe Alexandra 1-2 Fleetwood Town.

(16.43) Sunderland come forward. The Gills stutter for a moment thinking the flag will go up, the attacker passes and a simple chance to really test Chapman is put over the bar.

(16.52) Key Goal: Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 AFC Wimbledon

(16.58) GOAL! Sunderland 1-0 Gillingham: Broadhead

(17.00) FULL TIME 1-0
