Gillingham fans have their say ahead of the League 2 match against Bury at Gigg Lane
Comments |
Despite an indifferent start to the season for Gillingham, none
of our jurors feel Andy Hessenthaler's side will get
beaten at Bury on Saturday.
Two of the three Gills fans are predicting an away win while the
other thinks the game will end in a draw. Our guest from Bury,
Hanah Ingram, also thinks the match will be all-square.
Here's what our panel of fans had to say:
JIM STAPLES
(Greenwich)
"The draw at Morecombe in our last
league game continued the solid start to life away from Priestfield
this season.
"Bury will represent another strong
test as they’ve been there or there abouts in terms of the League 2
play-offs for a couple of seasons now,
so I’d settle for a point going into the game.
"We seem to be creating chances at the
moment and while that first win has so far proved elusive, it’s a
good sign that we are troubling defences on our travels.
"I’m determined to stay positive so if
Akinfenwa (pictured) and Cody McDonald can form a decent
partnership up top – as I’m confident they will given time – it
will only a matter of time before the whole team clicks. This
weekend might prove too soon for that hence the reason I’m going
for a draw."
Prediction: Bury 2 Gillingham

SAM LIVINGSTONE
(Pangbourne)
"It has been a disappointing start for
Gillingham, even more so with the penalty shoot-out defeat to
Southend on Tuesday and the Cody McDonald
(pictured) injury.
"However, I think that our defence has
been strong this season and will only improve now that we have
Fuller back.
"Our midfield is combative, winning
50/50s with Spiller and Payne and with Akinfenwa rested, I feel he
will knock a couple of goals in and we will win 2-0."
Prediction: Bury 0 Gillingham

ALEX SARSON
(Wellingborough)
"Although the JPT was never high on
the agenda, it was a disappointment to go out on penalties
(pictured). It will be important to make sure the heads of players
don’t drop going into the game at Bury.
"Gigg Lane provides another
opportunity in the North West to get rid of our away day
problems.
"It is once again important that we
get this dealt with as soon as possible and it continuing to hang
over us and being mentioned during the commentary of every set of
highlights is not good.
"A win is also needed, regardless of
the fixture being away."
Prediction: Bury 0 Gillingham

and not forgetting...
BURY FAN
Hannah Ingram
"We’ve brought in so many new faces at
the start of the season and part of me thinks they are just gelling
and part of me thinks it will take
just one more game and we’ll be there.
"At the moment we’re just lacking the
killer instinct to win games. We can get ahead but we’ve not been
able to finish teams off.
"I think Gillingham will be a tough
cookie to crack and after seeing the games between the sides last
time, I know it will be tough.
"The key man for us will be Andy
Haworth – he’s really caught my eye."
Prediction: Bury 1 Gillingham
