Leave
the M2 at Junction 4 and take the A278 towards Gillingham, going
straight across two roundabouts. At the 3rd roundabout turn left
onto the A2 towards Gillingham town centre. At the junction with the
A231, turn right (into Nelson Road) and after the bus station take a
right turn into Gillingham Road, the ground is down on your right
(Guide) |

|
|
|
|
Hessenthaler, Saunders
and Wallace are out, but Simon Osborne's is rated as having a 50-50
chance of making the game. Center half Barry Ashby is certain
starter after shaking off a knock he picked up last weekend. |
|
|
|
|
Lawrence to make
his debut, Walker and Robinson suspended, Ward continues in goal,
Simpson and Hay both now fully fit. Matias will only be worth a
place on the bench despite a good reserve outing on Wednesday.

One2Watch:
Jamie Lawrence will be making his
Saddlers debut. Seeming as Lee has been chasing the player all
season he has to produce to the goods to prove to the fans why he
was worth all the hassle... |
|
. |
|
One2Watch:
Scottish forward Tommy Johnstone has been around for years and has a
proven track record in the nationwide league for scoring goals. The
red haired forward will lead the Gills attack with Wallace out and
Ipoua out of sorts. |
|
|
|
| Verdict |
| The
heat is on. We can not afford to crumble away from home to a mid table
side with nothing to play fall. Lee has to get them motivated and make
sure they know the mess we are in at the moment. Lawerance will be looking
to impress on his debut. |
|
| Prediction:
Gills 0-1 Saddlers |
