Gillingham fans have their say ahead of the visit of Shrewsbury to Priestfield
Comments |
Despite the fact that Gillingham are yet to win this season, our
panel are confident they can break their duck against League 2
leaders Shrewsbury on Saturday. Here are there predictions:
MARK FELLOWES
(Ashford)
"Saturday’s game will be an interesting one. The Gills are eager
to get their season kick-started and there’s no better way of doing
it than by beating the team that we defeated at Wembley in May
2009.
"We need this win to start getting points on the board and
climbing up this league.
"I’m looking forward to seeing if Stanley Aborah (pictured
right) will play. I have a good feeling about this lad, his vision
and passing ability is superb and he could be the key to splitting
defences."
Prediction: Gillingham 2 Shrewsbury 0
PAUL BLAKELEY
(Maidstone)
"I don’t think any of us saw that ridiculous turn of events
happening at Bury last week, so hopefully there’ll be something
more resembling a defensive display this weekend.
"I’ve not been Mark McCammon’s biggest fan but if he’s going to
earn his wages then fair enough - we definitely need someone for
Akinfenwa to bring into play."
Prediction: Gillingham 2 Shrewsbury 0
JASON COLMAN
(Gillingham)
"It’s been the defence looking solid and the attack being a bit
slow out of the blocks but against Bury it was the complete
opposite – the defence was shocking and the attack fantastic.
"It feels like we have been away from Priestfield for months
with all our away games butthis week Shrewsbury could be the team
that take a beating from us. 
"I think Hessy should go with Mark McCammon (pictured right) and
Bayo up front. Personally, I would run scared if those two were
bearing down on me."
Prediction: Gillingham 4 Shrewsbury 0
SAM LIVINGSTONE
(Pangbourne)
"Despite feeling confident for all of the games so far, I still
feel we will beat Shrewsbury. With hopefully Barchy, Cody and
Weston coming back into the team, we will have a more solid
midfield and balance to attack without having to plunge forward a
la Bury.
"Hessy will have them fired up after the first-half display last
weekend and with the crowd behind them and our record against the
better teams at home, we will scrape a 2-1 victory with Akinfenwa
and Cody on the scoresheet"
Prediction: Gillingham 2 Shrewsbury 1
SHREWSBURY FAN
Ant Thomas
"Messiah is the word for Graham Turner, he had everything to
lose by coming back but we’ve done well.
"We often start seasons like this but tail away but I think we
have to be looking at finishing in the play-offs at least this
year.
"The game gives us a chance for revenge for the Wembley defeat
in the same way the play-off final gave the Gills revenge for the
7-0 that season.
"It will be tough. Akinfenwa (pictured left) annihilated us last
year and it will be a tough game as we don’t have the best
record at Priestfield."
Prediction: Gillingham 1 Shrewsbury 1
