Gillingham 1 - Bristol City 0

GET IN!!!

After the abysmal showing at Rotherham it was a great surprise to see practically the same team come out and play their socks off. 3 points secures our League One status and I for one am so relieved. After the second half taunts witnessed up north I really did think we were rubbish and were going to drop. Anyway one goal from super sub MacDonald (he came on, he scored, he went off again!) was enough to secure it. Good shows from the mature Ian Cox (OK he is my age!) and the somewhat confidence busted Spiller made for a great afternoon in the sun at Priestfield. Even the train engineering works couldn't dampen my mood! Bristol City will naturally feel they deserved at least a point - and indeed it was good to see so many away fans packing out the other end. But sorry lads today was our day - at home with a team in blue who finally showed some fighting spirit and refused to give up. Read the 'unofficial' report here.

UP THE GILLS!!!!

My next door neighbours travelled all the way to Gillingham from Wiltshire for this game - the result will explain their bad mood!

How do you think I felt having travelled all the way to Rotherham on Saturday!? Though the road works on the A2 probably didn't help - nor the trains enduring engineering works and replacement bus services!

Complacency in this game is a bad thing...!

That'll learn you - except it probably won't
