Going to this one so I'll start the thread.
There's been a lot of gloom and doom on here the last two months and if we'd lost yesterday I would be expecting the worst. But yesterday's result and more importantly the performance has made me very optimistic that I might be in for a good night.
We beat them with a lot to spare on to just before Christmas on TV. Since then they've got a new manager but have still struggled so as long as they don't get any penalties we should be ok.
Looking forward to seeing Morais and hopefully Pratley will have recovered to give us that midfield bite.
As the home game before Christmas was on a Monday night we let Gillingham fans have tickets for a tenner and a fiver for concessions. They've generously done the same for us so I'll be well pleased with another win for my fiver 😉

Well let's hope it's a good game for you TK and also the result. Another performance and win like Saturday will really lift everybody. Like you and many others, I've been frustrated by Parky's long ball tactics so let's hope the re-introduction of Pratley in midfield and the ever improving ALF can keep delivering. On the other hand it could just have been one of those days and we'll be back to typeon Tuesday. We won't know that until it happens obviously but I'll reserve judgement until I've more evidence we've really turned a corner.

Anyone remember when we got beat 1-0 and then headed into the relegation play offs all them years ago ☹️😕
We owe the Gills on their own turf and after that morale boosting thrashing of Fleetwood I'm hoping for a narrow scrape but 3 points

It's the old cliché, one game at a time...just keep knocking them off and who knows what the end of season will bring. The team has a bit more flexibility now...if the Dervite Wheater Beevers 3 is found wanting against certain opposition attacks a reversion to a back four looks more feasible with Pratley and Karacan able to be brought into midfield, and Wasaba hopefully gaining match fitness sooner rather than later. Certainly in terms of personnel things are looking better, especially in terms of Spearing's unfortunate injury, and of course Long is available again....a win tonight would be another real confidence booster, and create more pressure on promotion rivals. Good luck to both the team and those making the trip, I'll have to make do with listening again, but frustrations will be more than compensated for if Saturday's success can be repeated.

Looking through the Gills results, you can count on 4 fingers the amount of games where they've not scored, so defensively we have to be on it

Would be nice to come back with 3 points but will take 1 and move on let's hope it's not a poor result.

Got to be 3 points tonight Chip, nothing less. We need to make a statement to the teams around us and that means winning games, not just being happy with a draw. With the addition of Pratley and Karacan, boosting the midfield, Morais in outstanding form and ALF finally finding his shooting boots we don't need to be worried about anybody in this league now and should go all out for the Championship. If we have to settle for a draw that's different but we should be going out to win every one of our remaining games because I think we can if everybody is positive.

Can't remember when I saw us dominate a game as much as this one. Whatever Morais is on I want some.

Confidence must be sky high now so if we can keep this going in the second half and not pull back and defend too much there should be no worries. Good to hear Bradford and Scunny are losing but only by an odd goal so anything could happen there yet, same with Fleetwood with a bit of luck. Anyway, if we keep winning anything else is irrelevant. COYWM.

A great result, it won't matter what rivals keep doing as long as we maintain this momentum...the preponderance of away games might even be to our advantage given the wins tonight and on Saturday! It's great to feel genuinely excited about matches again, even though it would be silly to get carried away, but I can't wait for Saturday and next Tuesday, well done Whites!!
