Stanley (H)

Know absolutely zilch about this lot but probably another side that’ll come and park it and time waste at every opportunity as has been the case in most of our home games so far this year. Fingers crossed it’s more open than that mind, but even if it’s not it’s up to us to be more clinical the same way we have been away from home.

Would be nice to see us win one as I’m getting a bit bored of the home draws now…

Not sure on our team news yet so I’ll wait till after Cooks presser on Friday before I try predicting an XI. But what I do know is that Tanton is back after the 60 mins he got vs Horsham in the cup, and Fleck too after his 25 minute spell but I think this will come one game too early for a start, so that’s positive! But Colclough has his court hearing on Thursday so that could be less so… we will see.

Yet another game against tough opposition. We seem to have very few games where we'd expect to get points.

Apparently Gillingham were defying the stats earlier in the season. Playing poorly but picking up points. Their form has taken a nosedive, so they'll be desperate to get back on the horse at home.

I don't know much about them, but the lad from Accrington was a decent player and Dieng had always been OK at this level.

They look strong in defence but look short up front. Hawkins is a bit of a stick on legs from memory and they have another guy from non league. Nevitt from Crewe must be injured.

It's a horrible place to go and one of the few places that makes Burslem look like Venice. Really awkward to get to from anywhere else in the country too.

Train from St Pancras to Gillingham was easy on a Tuesday night, just make sure you get the fast train though

You should be expecting to get points from every game with the players you've signed

If only it was that easy. Potentially got our entire first choice midfield out, and it's the one area where the back up is nowhere near the first choice.

Really had to battle for the points in all our games really... no team has been a walkover. We always look likely to score, which is helping us in tight games.

I haven't turned up to a Vale game in many years expecting to get 3 points.

Yes, that's what we're going to do I think. I've driven before and it was hell. Probably drink in London for as long as possible.

That’s what we did a few weeks ago. There aren’t really any decent pubs in Gillingham, so we had a few beers in and around Kings Cross and St Pancras then got the train which took around 40 minutes iirc

Grimsby at home. Our 100% league record is intact although Brighton's yoof broke our overall record last week in the Mickey Mouse trophy.

I'd like to think that we're good enough to keep it going for a while.
