Don't normally like backing my own team, but I'm also on Gillingham for today. Results have been improving since Mark Stimson came in, and we actually won away on Tuesday for the first time since April (scoring as many goals in that game as we had in our 8 away games all season up until then). Our home form has always been decent enough anyway, only one defeat all season and that was on the opening day, since then we're on a run of 5-3-0. Port Vale with just 1 point from their last 6 away games.

Also worth noting that as we had no game last weekend due to being out of the FA Cup, Stimson decided to use the 10 days without a game as a mini pre-season, building up the players' fitness levels, which according to him were very poor. Whether or not that had anything to do with our win at Crewe I don't know, but Stimson's certainly making an impact.

According to the Gillingham official site, neither side have any new injury problems.
