Bridge-Wilkinson was MOTM on Saturday IIRC, with his best display in a Carlisle shirt.

Gillingham get there first win of the season beating Walsall 2-1

Leeds United win [uagain[/u
We should be 2 points clear now.

Even i wouldn't have predicted four wins in a row against the likes of Tranmere,Southend,Nottingham Forest and Luton.

Tresor Kandol joint top scorer in League One with 3 Goals

Crewe drew 1-1 away at Swindon. Fantastic equaliser for Crewe by Schumacher, a great goal.

We have finally signed Lee Barnard from Spurs (on loan). He is recovering from injury at the moment but should be on the field within the next couple of weeks.

We managed to beat Cheltenham 1-0 at Brunton Park with a 91st Minute winner. It was an awful game of football, Cheltenham played a 9-1 formation for the entire game and were very stubborn and hard to break down. I wonder what teams like them actually bring to the football league!

Good home win for Crewe today beating Huddersfield 2-0.

Lee Barnard had a cracking debut for Crewe, marshalling things up front and scoring the first. He also slipped the through ball that drew the Town keeper out and lead to Bopp putting the ball into the unguarded net for the second.

I'll take the three points happily. For long periods of the game Town played some good passing football and the stats show they topped Crewe on possession, shots and corners. However, despite all their attempts, they couldn't get the ball into the Crewe net. Good build up play but lacked the finishing power today, although a couple of good saves from Crewe's Ben Williams didn't make it any easier.

0!!!!!!! Never ever being so happy to be on 0 points. Funny thing is, we haven't even played well this year and yet we've beaten some of the top sides (Hartlepool (form wise), Forest and Tramere away and Luton and Southend who came down with us)

Marching On Together

Stats-wise we (Leeds) are the best team in the league.

"You can stick your 15 pointer up your....etc"

Keep it up lads, let's be fighting for top spot by Christmas.

Still...bottom of the league eh?

Gillingham are looking for a new manager as Ronnie Jepson resigns

Wish we could have that luck.

No suprise there,he was a regular MOTM at Bradford.

Mark Bentley signs new 2 year deal to stay at Gillingham till 2010

Don't know what you're on about

Gillingham beat Brighton 1-0

Oldham see themselves bottom of the league, I honestly thought we would do alright this season.
We seem to have lost all composure, our midfield was awful they may as well not have been there. Thompson our summer defensive signing is an absolute turkey.
We’re missing Richie Wellens massively, we had filled the void left by Wellens with the loan signing of Neil Kilkenny only to see him get injured for two months and until he is back I can’t really see us doing anything.

We do have a game in hand to take us off the bottom but unless you are winning games then a game in hand is pointless.

Saturdays game:

Oldham were awful, Southend were awful (but slightly better than Oldham), the referee was awful some very dodgy decisions including the Southend players red card.

Wallsall away on Saturday, looks like muggins’ here is off down.

Gillingham have completed the loan signing of two new players striker Chris Dickson has joined for an initial one-month period from our neighbours Charlton Athletic. Midfielder Adam Nowland has also joined for a four-week spell

We had Chris Dickson at the Alex for a month recently but didn't extend the deal because Barnard arrived from Spurs and a couple of others came back from injury.
He was popular here and a decent player, a bit raw but there is definitely some talent there. I would like to have kept him a bit longer but Gradi obviously thought differently.

Anyways after our 2-0 defeat away at Doncaster last week we are looking for a better performance against Millwall at home tomorrow.

Great spirit from the boys Saturday to come back from 2-0 down and win 3-2.

Oldham had the better of Crewe all game but it looked like it was going to be ‘one of them games’.

Crewe’s first goal coming from a Crewe players back as Crossley booted the ball against him, a smart finish for Crewes second with what was probably their first real shot on target putting us two down.

Great comeback though reminding me of why I turn up every week.

Leeds tomorrow night, if we get past them we can really kick on this year.

Ah, you have witnessed the enigma that is Crewe Alex.

After a moderately good start to the season we seem to have fallen to pieces of late, only one win in the last four league games.

I opted to watch my son make his under 10, man of the match winning debut for Sandbach United last Saturday - looks like I made the right choice.

Crewe were poor, the midfield offered very little. As I said before, they were very lucky with their first goal. The second goal was a good one but after that they presented very little resistance and Oldham went at them.

The left winger/left back linked up well and put some good balls into the box but there was no one willing to get on the end of them.

Blondey who scored your first goal didn’t help the team much, he must have given away three quarters of the free kicks you conceded.

Good result for you anyway, congrats.


Our midfield hasn't started the season yet. We await their return to Gresty Road soon...........Oh hang on.......

I suppose there was an element of luck in the first goal but if you chase the ball and the keeper makes a half-assed attempt at a clearance then what the hell - credit to Barnard for persevering.

Byron Moore who scored the second stepped up from the academy this season and is going really well. We expect him to go on to have a decent career at a higher level.


Byron Moore usually plays down the left wing although Ryan Lowe drifts to that position when he is knackered or looking for a pie shop. Moore and Billy Jones have been combining very well down the left this season.

Apparently we are still looking to bring in another striker as Nicky Maynard is still some way off a return.


That doesn't surprise me. To be fair to him (Barnard) in his first two games he really was a cut above the other players on the pitch. Trouble is, he is offside way too often as our other players are just too slow to put in that last pass.

I think his frustration is starting to affect his game now. In our last home game against Millwall he showed what a prima donna he can be.

Great result for the Gills beating Orient 3-1

See how much confidence a goal against Leeds does for you?

As for Leeds, 94th minute winner away at Oldham, so the Gills are still the only team to take a point off us this year.
