Gillingham are looking for a new manager as Ronnie Jepson resigns

No suprise there,he was a regular MOTM at Bradford.

Mark Bentley signs new 2 year deal to stay at Gillingham till 2010

Gillingham beat Brighton 1-0

Oldham see themselves bottom of the league, I honestly thought we would do alright this season.
We seem to have lost all composure, our midfield was awful they may as well not have been there. Thompson our summer defensive signing is an absolute turkey.
We’re missing Richie Wellens massively, we had filled the void left by Wellens with the loan signing of Neil Kilkenny only to see him get injured for two months and until he is back I can’t really see us doing anything.

We do have a game in hand to take us off the bottom but unless you are winning games then a game in hand is pointless.

Saturdays game:

Oldham were awful, Southend were awful (but slightly better than Oldham), the referee was awful some very dodgy decisions including the Southend players red card.

Wallsall away on Saturday, looks like muggins’ here is off down.

Gillingham have completed the loan signing of two new players striker Chris Dickson has joined for an initial one-month period from our neighbours Charlton Athletic. Midfielder Adam Nowland has also joined for a four-week spell

Great spirit from the boys Saturday to come back from 2-0 down and win 3-2.

Oldham had the better of Crewe all game but it looked like it was going to be ‘one of them games’.

Crewe’s first goal coming from a Crewe players back as Crossley booted the ball against him, a smart finish for Crewes second with what was probably their first real shot on target putting us two down.

Great comeback though reminding me of why I turn up every week.

Leeds tomorrow night, if we get past them we can really kick on this year.

Crewe were poor, the midfield offered very little. As I said before, they were very lucky with their first goal. The second goal was a good one but after that they presented very little resistance and Oldham went at them.

The left winger/left back linked up well and put some good balls into the box but there was no one willing to get on the end of them.

Blondey who scored your first goal didn’t help the team much, he must have given away three quarters of the free kicks you conceded.

Good result for you anyway, congrats.


Our midfield hasn't started the season yet. We await their return to Gresty Road soon...........Oh hang on.......

I suppose there was an element of luck in the first goal but if you chase the ball and the keeper makes a half-assed attempt at a clearance then what the hell - credit to Barnard for persevering.

Byron Moore who scored the second stepped up from the academy this season and is going really well. We expect him to go on to have a decent career at a higher level.

Byron Moore usually plays down the left wing although Ryan Lowe drifts to that position when he is knackered or looking for a pie shop. Moore and Billy Jones have been combining very well down the left this season.

Apparently we are still looking to bring in another striker as Nicky Maynard is still some way off a return.

Quote: "Binkles wrote Blondey who scored your first goal didn’t help the team much, he must have given away three quarters of the free kicks you conceded.'"

That doesn't surprise me. To be fair to him (Barnard) in his first two games he really was a cut above the other players on the pitch. Trouble is, he is offside way too often as our other players are just too slow to put in that last pass.

I think his frustration is starting to affect his game now. In our last home game against Millwall he showed what a prima donna he can be.

Great result for the Gills beating Orient 3-1

See how much confidence a goal against Leeds does for you?

As for Leeds, 94th minute winner away at Oldham, so the Gills are still the only team to take a point off us this year.
