Even when we were propping up the league at the end of 2022 we were organised defensively. The most we conceded was 3 and that was only 2 or 3 times. Since then, one embarrassing half at Harrogate where we conceded 5 is the only time we collapsed. Yes, we rode our luck on Saturday but it was...

It was a strange game, Notts had 3 shots on target to our 5 but some of their shots off target were down to pretty poor finishing, so I would say we were lucky to win but they were not particularly unlucky to lose. I think Maynard needs to order extra shooting practice next week. Notts will...

Your number 8 is not even in that shot so it is difficult to tell. By the time the camera brings him in to shot he is level with our keeper and well behind our defence. I think he actually puts it in, but is at least interfering.

Realistically, our defence is more than good enough to survive in League One. We probably wouldn't score our first goal until December, though.

Well, the ref could not have been closer and if you follow the direction he is looking in, it does not look like the ball came anywhere near either player. I think he is signalling a goal kick so probably went over everyone's head. Plus, it looks like both players have their right arms round...

What do they do in training at Mansfield? Players clearly can not shake it off for years afterwards. Hawkins and Lapslie both out for extended period at our place. Hope we kept the receipts.

If that is important, surely so is the fact that you did the double over us last season. Or does our "big spending" make a difference? It is still 50/50. If we score first, we practically always win. If we concede first, we practically always lose. Our spending didn't do us much good against...

Basically, where we are is that we have a shape and we are organised but we can not break down organised defences trying to hang on to a lead or only looking for a draw. So far in 2023 I am pretty sure Harris has a 100% record for not getting beat after we score the first goal, but we have only...

Creepy beat us in all the statistics, our keeper saved a penalty and their defender scored our goal. Normally a bit embarrassed to win games like that but, as its WAGMI, who know and swear by their statistics ("takin' Crawley Town to the Premier League")....Get in !!

Creepy away for us. Great start by them, and I hope Will Wright is doing well. I always had more time for him than a lot of other Gills fans. A whole hearted trier and one of the best dead ball takers. Could stick one in the top corner against us, like he has already done once for them. He...

At least this time we only dug in, rather than build a wall like we did at your place last season. I know you had some injuries but we were missing Masterson, Dieng and Hawkins who we normally rely heavily on. We are also looking to sign an extra striker and winger so at the moment 1-0 was the...

He also is going to say it if it is true, or close to it. We have been linked with about 8 strikers, all of whom have gone to other clubs - May, Akinyemi, Dallas, Pigott and Jephcott among them. Meanwhile Stockport give a 3 year contract to Nick Powell and Andy Cook would have demanded top...

Interesting debate and obviously money is king, but so is connection with fans. I know our new owner is seen from the outside purely in monetary terms and we now see ourselves as unlikely to go bust, at least in the short term, which is a comfort. However, after years of being run in an...

Not if it was a 0-0 draw. Or did it go to penalties?

He supports Labour rather than the Green Party? Shocker.
