So another really tough game ahead...are there any easy ones? And if you thought that, are they the ones you lose as you reckon you have won before you get there?
The Gills were one of the inform unbeaten teams in the league up until a few weeks ago and if you check their home form they are unbeaten in 8, winning 3 and drawing 5.
For us, it’s the same again, same side. A weeks rest to recover and we go again.
My prediction is 2-1 to us....
Yeah - Gillingham did us over at NYS in late October in the early phase of our slump. It was one of Joe Mattock's more forgettable games - two quick bookings and a red card when there was a sniff that we might sneak a draw. A minute later Gillingham got a third - game over. Much has changed since then. We're a much more cohesive unit and Mattock is one of the top performers.
Gillingham is a dreadful ground and one of the worst to travel to. However, I'd not bet against RUFC continuing their unbeaten run and I guarantee the Gills will not be relishing the prospect of the league's most 'in form' team visiting their patch!
Its a dreadful journey and terrible ground (no snow cover on away end!) - went last time when that wonder goal looped over the keeper and won it for us.
