Surprised at that. Thought we would stick with 5 at the back. I guess it’s to facilitate Green coming back in.

A more attaching line up than anticipated.

Head says we lose and lose comfortably tonight. No great shame in that given it’s the second looong trip in the space of 4 days away at the league leaders.

Heart says it’s going to be one of those classic Town, backs against the wall, score our only effort on goal away victories.

We’ll find out soon enough.

Tonight's a bit of a free hit isn't it? Performance and how much guts we show against the early league leaders are probably more important than the result.

When was the last time we won 3 League Two matches in a row? Depressingly it was January to February 2019 when we won 4 consecutive games.

Fair play. It’s bold. Hope it works.
Feel unusually relaxed about this game.
Expect us to lose away to the leaders. Would be delighted with a point and ecstatic with another 3 points. Maybe it’s because being in comfortable mid table allows you that little bit more sense of perspective and a bit less of the alarm.

Tharme not being fit enough to play twice in 4 days is probably part of it too.

I do think there is the potential for us to get an absolute rinsing 4,5,6 if we do that ‘not bothering with basics’ defending that we’ve been prone to at times. Fingers crossed we don’t get a spanking.

Gillingham have scored 12 goals in 8 games- the same as us. However they have conceded just 2 goals in those 8 matches whilst we have shipped in 14.

So hopefully we won't get embarrassed.

I'm not too concerned if we don't get a good result but I would like to see the game being a close one with us having spells in the game where we compete and have chances of our own. It almost sounds defeatist in a way, that we're here as a raffle winner when we're actually in the same division on merit, but if these are top - and they've proven to be a good side so far - and we can go toe to toe with them and not look out of place then it gives further evidence that we're moving the right direction.

I think over the last few weeks we've started to gain consensus from all viewpoints that we are progressing but it's the rate of improvement that I think is a sticking point for those of a more critical nature. Where we can all accept that we won't win every game, and away to the league leaders as is tough as it can get at this point, then falling the wrong side of a tight game suggests we're knocking on the door and it won't be long before we're in.
