Gillingham Preview
By: Richard Hubbert
Date: 13/02/2003
TOWN fans can now breathe a sigh of relief after last week’s much needed win against Stoke, but the hard work must still go on and the Mariners will be looking to collect three more points this weekend against a Gillingham side who agonisingly lost to a late goal on Monday evening to Reading.

The Bottom Line | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Town need to keep picking up points and although Gillingham have a strong side, realistically, it is a place that the Mariners ought to be looking to take something away from. Especially with this game being followed by an even tougher looking game at Ipswich next Saturday, Town cannot rely on home wins and so therefore, an away victory needs to come from somewhere soon.

Last Time Out | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The last meeting between the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw, when John Oster and Jason Gavin made their Town debuts and Steve Kabba played his last game for the Mariners. Town dominated the match and should have won when they took the lead through John Oster. However, a goal late on from Gillingham midfielder Paul Smith meant there was a share of the spoils.
Town Team: Coyne, McDermott, Gallimore, Gavin, Ford, Coldicott, Campbell, Oster, Pouton, Livingstone (Mansaram), Kabba. Attendance: 5,715 Report Gillingham Head-to-Head (14th on The Opposition Ladder).
