(20.30) Stockport hits the post.

(20.33) Half time 0-0

(21.26) Another last ditch block from Tutonda denies a very good chance for the hosts to score.

Well it was another point but I am sorry that seemed to be a pretty pathetic display from Gillingham, 2 shot off target against Stockports 17, and none on target for the G, 26% possession, jjeezzz, thank God we got the point, should be safe now.
