Nutter's Natter with Gillingham defender John Nutter

We can cause an upset at Huddersfield
this weekend.
They have a fantastic home record and
have invested heavily in their squad so will be looking to be right
up there at the end of the season. I’m sure it will be a test for
us.
Shortly after I arrived at the club we
were in a similar situation where we hadn’t done particularly well
away from home and nobody gave us a chance of winning up there.
Despite that, we totally dominated a
game which we won 3-1 and there’s no reason why we can’t do that
this time around too.
It’s an overnight trip for us as it’s
a long way north and that means rooming up with someone. With my
mate Mills away at Dagenham, it means I’ll be looking for another
roomy. Stewy Lew put in a decent performance as a roomy last time
so I might give him another shot. At least he doesn’t keep me up
swearing in his sleep like Mills does, so that is a bonus!
Last weekend we managed another game
without defeat at home, putting in a decent performance and maybe
we deserved to take all the points.
Although Carlisle made it difficult
for us, I felt that we edged it and had a few good chances to win
the game, including a couple Jacko would normally stick away, not
to mention a blatant penalty on Westy in the first half.
The referee seemed to be waiting for
the linesman to give it but he didn’t have the courage to give it
right in front of the travelling fans.
It was another clean sheet at home so
we can’t be too disappointed with the result.
We are developing a reputation at home
which we hope is instilling some fear into the opposition. One
negative from Saturday was Joshy picking up a booking which rules
him out of a couple of games.
It’s a blow because he’s been a
mainstay of our back four this season. The booking itself was
certainly harsh, a shirt pull 30 yards from goal is hardly a
bookable offence! It gives someone else an opportunity, though, and
I’m sure whoever steps in will do a good job.
We were without Fab on Saturday and
unfortunately he’ll be out for a few weeks, which is disappointing,
as he has shown what a clever player he is. Again we have to roll
with the punch and kick on. Westy has done well when playing
further forward so we will be fine.
There has been a bit of a bug going
around recently. Benno was struggling on Saturday and we have all
had to be extra vigilant with staying wrapped up and eating the
right things to keep the bug away. We’ve managed to see it off
without too many problems, though, as everyone seems to be fighting
fit.
Finally, the FA Cup sees us travel to
Accrington, which will be a good game for me as I have plenty of
family from near there.
Hopefully, I can work my way into the
side and play some part. Most importantly, though, we need to go
there, be professional and get through to the next round as big
rewards could await if we do.
