Anyone remember the Gills Cup match that was called off at half time due to fog, quite a long time ago now? I was in the Town End I think, couldn't see beyond the halfway line

Remember a match v Walsall abandoned in the mid-90s for fog, but thought it was a League match.

Is it just me or is Ogilvie missing a shedload of the trademark sort of headers recently (not tonight) he'd have buried last season but smashing in some belters with his feet?

I'm tempting fate here but have to say Jackson has been competent so far.

Nooooo don't say that, you know what will happen now

5 minutes of extra time....... who do they think they are - Manchester Shitty?

 

[Rob_b100]

Great save jack Bonham!

 

[Lark]

Decent save from Bonham, not unlike the sort of shot that Wimbledon scored with

FT

 

[alex_farrells_left_p]

YES!!!!!!!! 3 points in the bag..... thanks franchise.

 

[TommyT Trublu]

Not sure how but 3 points is 3 points - onwards and upwards

 

[LockdownLife]

Great win boys - they were a good side

 

[Gills 58]

Ha ha. Wouldn't have believed that after the first 20 mins

 

[Vambogills]

Not sure how but 3 points is 3 points - onwards and upwards

Yes! What Tommy said.

Entertaining game in the end. Shaky as hell start, but really on reflection I think we probably just shaded it. Happy days. I’m gonna open a good bottle of red and see if the wife fancies an early night 👍

 

[jokerman]

Odd game. Great result. We did good.

 

[Lark]

Amazed we won, you'd have expected a cricket score to them after their start to the game. Penalty out of nothing changed it and gave us confidence to impose our game.

 

[LockdownLife]

21% possession... Love it

 

[Captainreblue]

3 points and after the first 20 minutes think most of us would have taken that. Think over the 90 minutes we shaded it, just but by God do we make it hard work sometimes.

On to Saturday. Think we might have to play a bit better than tonight to get anything but if we start how we did tonight against Ipswich I'm not expecting anything.

Important win to keep us away from any involvement in what goes on in the lower third of the table.

Important win as it turned £5 into £50 - I hate betting on the gills but the decent odds meant they had to be in my higher risk accumulator.
