With five out of the last six leagues games against sides that now stand in the top ten, an away fixture against a recently relegated side (and that was only due to a late goal from another spawny side 
) would not normally be something to look forward to. However, Gillingham haven't powered ahead in this league and although they have a good home record, there could be an opportunity to nick something here.
With the Gillingham home crowd having only seen nine goals in their six league games (only 2 more than our last home game. ;D) things could be tight or with our goal drought a distinct memory, maybe not.
The weather forecast is set to be wet and a bit wild so could be a factor in both tactics and team selection.
My gut feeling from both the reserve match and the feedback from the fans forum is that Oastler will get a start in midfield. Rose is said to have had a good match but it remains to be seen as to whether he will even be available. I think Macklin is still knocking on the door and may be given a chance. With Senda only just back into training I think the only question in defence is Branston or Charnock? The striker selection may come down to tactics and conditions.
A win is now needed not only for confidence but so we can continue to look up the table and not in a downwards direction..... 34 points to relative safety, 34 games to go.

Well my tactic is not to pay twenty three ruddy quid to sit in the open on a "Carnoustie Golf Stand" as an "away" fan.
