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).

Despite their relatively small size as a club, Gillingham make up for it in ambition. This was shown in the summer when they landed former Leeds and Rangers forward Rod Wallace (left) who scored in midweek. It was hoped that he would help the Gills to play off place this season, but injuries to him and the rest of the squad have hampered those chances. In defence they call upon ex Scunthorpe captain Chris Hope while in midfield they have the ever reliable Paul Smith who scored for the Kent club when the two sides met at Blundell Park. Up front will be Mali international Mamady Sidibe.
