Saturday 16th
Match day - Tranmere Rovers v GILLS (EFL Sky Bet League 2)

Sunday 17th
The Gills unbeaten run now extends to 8 league and cup games away from home and 16 home and away, their best run since April 2011 and 1 game away from the club's best run of league and cup games without defeat set in October 1963. The best run for league games is 20.

Monday 18th
The Gills' opponents dropped "points" in 7 of the 51 league and cup matches last season. If all games scored points, already this season, the Gills opponents have slipped up in 3 of the 4 games. Those matches saw the Gills score in the 79th, 83rd and 90th minutes.

Tuesday 19th
Match day - GILLS v Chesterfield (EFL Sky Bet League 2)

Wednesday 20th
The 1-1 at Tranmere was the Gills' 11th 1-1 away draw in their last 20 matches on the road. They came after no 1-1 draws were earned last season as part of a run of 47 consecutive away draws without a 1-1 draw.

Thursday 21st
Gbode's dramatic late equaliser against Tranmere not only preserved the Gills unbeaten run away from home (now 8 games) but also made it 9 scoring games in a row on the road - something the Gills last achieved in January 2016 in the league.

Friday 22nd
The win over Chesterfield equalled the club record for consecutive league AND cup games without defeat (17) set in October 1963. It is 16 unbeaten in the league, a run which ended in April 2011 and 4 games short of the record.
