On paper, a home draw against the League 2 leaders should be a decent result. But, despite keeping Stockport County at bay at Priestfield, the overwhelming emotions among those leaving the ground were frustration and disappointment after another performance that offered little positivity over the 94 minutes. Owen is joined by Matt for the midweek post-match pod to look back at the game, and discuss the team’s current malaise as an attacking force. This is a public episode. If you would...

Gillingham remain one point outside the League 2 playoff places after losing out on the road to Newport County. More than 600 Gills fans made the trip to stand in an uncovered stand for 90 minutes, but the performance from the team on the pitch offered scant consolation for the travelling faithful as a sub-par display offered little positivity for those making the long trip back home from Wales to Kent. In our post-match pod, James, Harry and Alex attempt to pick the bones out of a...

Gillingham’s Tuesday night game under the lights at Priestfield delivered plenty of talking points as the Gills battled to a 2-2 draw after a topsy-turvy 90 minutes at ME7. After a poor start that saw the team go a go behind, the Gills rallied and scored twice through Oli Hawkins and a Connor Mahoney penalty after a spectacular run from super sub Jorge Hurtado. Spirits were high, but a last-gasp equaliser from Swindon brought things down to earth and, despite a couple of huge chances in the...

After a Fan Forum that delivered a lot of positivity, the Gills headed to Meadow Lane to take on Notts County, and picked up their biggest result of the season so far. Despite going behind in the 13th minute, Stephen Clemence’s men reacted superbly, and a towering Oli Hawkins header drew us level six minutes later. And, with positivity surging in the stands, Max Clark marked his return to the starting lineup with a fantastic outside-of-the-boot finish to put the Gills 2-1 up on 35...

Gillingham had to come from behind to earn a point at home as they salvaged a point from a sub-par display against Walsall at Priestfield. Conor Masterson’s short-range strike ensured the Gills had a share of the spoils, but mistakes at the back, and a glaring miss in attack, meant that a home win was left on the table on another frustrating day at ME7. Matt takes the helm for our regular post-match pod as he unpacks Saturday’s draw with the help of fellow Gills fans Harry and Tom. This...

The final day of the transfer window saw a flurry of activity at Priestfield, with outgoings and incomings leaving the Gills with a refreshed squad, and some new faces for fans to meet as we look ahead to the weekend’s home game with Walsall. Strikers Tom Nichols and Macauley Bonne departed for Mansfield and Cambridge, respectively, but their places in the squad were taken by Colombian Under-20 international Jorge Hurtado – on loan from Watford – and six-foot-five target man Josh Andrews, who...

The team returned to ME7 for the fourth episode this season of Lookback Live, as the panel kicked off the year with a special live show.

The show was streamed live across multiple social platforms on the night. But if you...

Gillingham’s away trip to MK Dons proved to be a frustrating one as the team’s inability to put the ball in the net came back to haunt them again as they lost 2-1 after a performance they perhaps deserved a lot more from. Owen takes the helm for the regular post-match pod, with Matt offering his opinion and optimism as the pod looks back at a day that left the team heading home without any points after a positive display. Are better times ahead, or is this really as good as we’re likely to...

Gillingham added a second new face to the squad at Priestfield with the loan signing of striker Josh Walker from Burton Albion. While Walker’s arrival has added a pacy new attacking option for Stephen Clemence, the reaction from the Gills fanbase has been somewhat mixed. James was joined by a host of Gills fans to offer their individual takes on the club’s latest signing, and discussed where the team still needs reinforcements as they ponder any late moves in the last few days of the January...

With struggling Forest Green Rovers visiting Priestfield, hopes were high that the Gills could make it four wins in a row, and maybe even add a few goals to the club’s tally for the season. But a drab display, and a spirited second-half performance from Forest Green Rovers, ensured that the game ended in a disappointing 1-1 draw. Owen takes the helm for this week’s post-match pod as we look back at the game, try to pick the bones out of another uninspiring showing, and work out what’s to come...

When the Gills went 1-0 down early in the second half away at Accrington Stanley, most Gills fans at the Wham Stadium and following from afar had a similar sinking feeling. But, in a remarkable turnaround, Conor Masterson headed in an equaliser, then super-sub Macauley Bonne slammed home a winner. Yes, that’s right, ladies and gentlemen. Gillingham came from behind to win a game of football. And they did it away from home, to boot. After the Gills’ win, Owen and Matt hopped on Twitter Spaces...

The Gills return to League 2 action this weekend as they look to bounce back from their 4-0 home defeat to Sheffield United by picking up their third straight league win. The opposition comes in the form of Accrington Stanley, who are level with the Gills on 38 points, but sit one place higher in the table thanks to their superior goal difference. Both sides are handily placed just one point outside the playoff places, with a win for either team potentially pushing them into the top...

Gills fans’ hopes of another memorable FA Cup upset under the Priestfield floodlights were dashed as Premier League Sheffield United comfortably dispatched Stephen Clemence’s men 4-0 on a disappointing afternoon at ME7. Two soft first-half goals put the Gills behind the eight ball by halftime, and despite Max Ehmer’s late header against the post, the home side was unable to trouble the scoreboard as they were punished by a better side. The defeat might not have been unexpected, but what did...

Priestfield Stadium is all set to be packed to the rafters on Saturday as Gillingham play host to Premier League strugglers Sheffield United in the FA Cup.

Gillingham’s first game of 2024 saw three valuable points on the road as the Gills picked up a 1-0 away win at Colchester United. Scott Malone was the matchwinner, once again, as the side picked up back-to-back 1-0 victories to turn around a tricky patch of form. Now the Gills are heading into the new year with a spring in their step and, hopefully, a fresh face or two on the way to reinforce the squad. Owen, James, and Elliott were on hand to unpack the days’ events, as they looked back at...

It might not have been the prettiest performance, but Gillingham ensured they finished 2023 with a win as a late Scott Malone rocket gave the Gills a 1-0 win over 10-man Sutton United. James takes the helm for the final matchday review pod of the year as he, plus a selection of fellow Gills fans, recaps the night’s action at Priestfield as Malone came off the bench to fire a blistering volley into the top corner to spare the Gills’ blushes, and silence a few critics in the process. Thanks to...

It was a case of another home game, another defeat with little positivity for Gills fans as the side crashed to a 2-0 Boxing Day loss to Crawley Town.

Gills fans’ hopes of a pre-Christmas tonic were left disappointed as the team produced another insipid awayday display, this time at second-from-bottom Forest Green Rovers. The game saw the division’s lowest scorers (Gillingham) against the second-lowest scorers (Forest Green Rovers), so it should perhaps have come as no surprise that the match ended in a goalless stalemate. But, with the club’s hopes of being promotion challengers – either via the automatic places, or via the playoffs –...

The festive period is upon us, and all Gills fans want for Christmas is three points on the road at Forest Green Rovers. Gillingham’s final game before Christmas sees them head to The New Lawn Stadium to face a side that has just appointed a new manager in the form of Troy Deeney. Will that infamous “New Manager Bounce” cost the Gills, or can Stephen Clemence’s men give the fans a much-needed tonic ahead of a busy Christmas/New Year schedule? James, Owen and Matt look ahead to the game as the...
