Saturday’s home game against Tranmere saw a familiar sight for Gills fans, as the team turned in yet another sluggish first-half performance, before salvaging a point after an improved second half display. But, after seeing the team go a goal behind early, only to come back and earn a point, should we be viewing the result as a point gained, or two dropped? Owen and Matt pick the bones out of anot...

Gillingham’s good spell of form hit a roadblock in Barrow on Tuesday night as the Gills fell to a 2-0 awayday defeat. But Stephen Clemence’s men get the chance to immediately bounce back with a home game against 18th-placed Tranmere Rovers. James takes the helm for our usual pre-weekend pod, and is joined by ME7 regular Matt, plus Dave and Samuel as they put Tuesday’s defeat behind them and look a...

The Gills battled Salford, and the inclement weather conditions, to claim a well-deserved 2-0 away win at the Peninsula Stadium as Stephen Clemence’s men bounced straight back into the League 2 playoff places. Goals from Shad Ogie – his first for the Gills – and Tim Dieng secured the three points on the road in a game played on a shocker of a pitch as the weather went from drizzle to rain to a ful...

After a midweek draw with table-topping Stockport that had the fans hoping for more, Stephen Clemence’s men produced a huge performance at Priestfield to deservedly beat promotion-chasing Wrexham 1-0. Tim Dieng’s close-range finish, turning in Conor Masterson’s volleyed cross-shot following a Max Clark set piece, gave the Gills all three points in a well-contested clash at ME7 as the home side mov...

Priestfield Stadium is already sold out ahead of Gillingham’s home game with the glamour team of League 2, with Wrexham heading to Kent for a battle between two sides with North American owners. Wrexham have become the darlings of the football media, thanks to their Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny and their FX behind-the-scenes reality show, Welcome to Wrexham. But the more unders...

On paper, a home draw against the League 2 leaders should be a decent result. But, despite keeping Stockport County at bay at Priestfield, the overwhelming emotions among those leaving the ground were frustration and disappointment after another performance that offered little positivity over the 94 minutes. Owen is joined by Matt for the midweek post-match pod to look back at the game, and discus...

Gillingham remain one point outside the League 2 playoff places after losing out on the road to Newport County. More than 600 Gills fans made the trip to stand in an uncovered stand for 90 minutes, but the performance from the team on the pitch offered scant consolation for the travelling faithful as a sub-par display offered little positivity for those making the long trip back home from Wales to...

It’s a busy run of games for Gillingham, who hit the road for a trip to Wales to take on Newport County in a tricky away test for Stephen Clemence’s men. James takes the helm for our regular pre-match pod as he looks ahead to the weekend’s fixture. He’s joined by ME7 regular Matt and podcast debutant GSFT, as well as an appearance from the 1912 Exiles, a Newport County podcast. This is a public ep...

Gillingham’s Tuesday night game under the lights at Priestfield delivered plenty of talking points as the Gills battled to a 2-2 draw after a topsy-turvy 90 minutes at ME7. After a poor start that saw the team go a go behind, the Gills rallied and scored twice through Oli Hawkins and a Connor Mahoney penalty after a spectacular run from super sub Jorge Hurtado. Spirits were high, but a last-gasp e...

After a Fan Forum that delivered a lot of positivity, the Gills headed to Meadow Lane to take on Notts County, and picked up their biggest result of the season so far. Despite going behind in the 13th minute, Stephen Clemence’s men reacted superbly, and a towering Oli Hawkins header drew us level six minutes later. And, with positivity surging in the stands, Max Clark marked his return to the star...

Gillingham have sold more than 850 tickets for a Friday night away game at Notts County, as the Gills fanbase delivers an incredible level of support for the side as they head north for a game that could propel them into the League 2 playoff places. James is joined by Lewis and Matt to look ahead to the game as the Gills look to kick things up a gear in the final months of the campaign in a bid to...

Gillingham had to come from behind to earn a point at home as they salvaged a point from a sub-par display against Walsall at Priestfield. Conor Masterson’s short-range strike ensured the Gills had a share of the spoils, but mistakes at the back, and a glaring miss in attack, meant that a home win was left on the table on another frustrating day at ME7. Matt takes the helm for our regular post-mat...

The final day of the transfer window saw a flurry of activity at Priestfield, with outgoings and incomings leaving the Gills with a refreshed squad, and some new faces for fans to meet as we look ahead to the weekend’s home game with Walsall. Strikers Tom Nichols and Macauley Bonne departed for Mansfield and Cambridge, respectively, but their places in the squad were taken by Colombian Under-20 in...

Gillingham’s away trip to MK Dons proved to be a frustrating one as the team’s inability to put the ball in the net came back to haunt them again as they lost 2-1 after a performance they perhaps deserved a lot more from. Owen takes the helm for the regular post-match pod, with Matt offering his opinion and optimism as the pod looks back at a day that left the team heading home without any points...

Gillingham added a second new face to the squad at Priestfield with the loan signing of striker Josh Walker from Burton Albion. While Walker’s arrival has added a pacy new attacking option for Stephen Clemence, the reaction from the Gills fanbase has been somewhat mixed. James was joined by a host of Gills fans to offer their individual takes on the club’s latest signing, and discussed where the t...

With struggling Forest Green Rovers visiting Priestfield, hopes were high that the Gills could make it four wins in a row, and maybe even add a few goals to the club’s tally for the season. But a drab display, and a spirited second-half performance from Forest Green Rovers, ensured that the game ended in a disappointing 1-1 draw. Owen takes the helm for this week’s post-match pod as we look back a...

Gillingham have added to their squad with the arrival of goal-assisting wingback Remeao Hutton from Swindon, as Stephen Clemence makes his first signing as Gills’ head coach. The ME7 Podcast looks at the new arrival, and ponders what else is needed to set the team up for a run at the playoffs. The crew also look ahead to the home game with Forest Green Rovers, who are struggling at the wrong end o...

When the Gills went 1-0 down early in the second half away at Accrington Stanley, most Gills fans at the Wham Stadium and following from afar had a similar sinking feeling. But, in a remarkable turnaround, Conor Masterson headed in an equaliser, then super-sub Macauley Bonne slammed home a winner. Yes, that’s right, ladies and gentlemen. Gillingham came from behind to win a game of football. And t...

The Gills return to League 2 action this weekend as they look to bounce back from their 4-0 home defeat to Sheffield United by picking up their third straight league win. The opposition comes in the form of Accrington Stanley, who are level with the Gills on 38 points, but sit one place higher in the table thanks to their superior goal difference. Both sides are handily placed just one point outsi...
