Lincoln City v Gillingham - Opposition Fan Preview - Written by Lewis Browning Gillingham’s men take on Lincoln City this weekend and could end the day two points off the play-off places in League One. You can read our preview of the game here. We spoke to Gary from Lincoln fan site ‘The Stacey West’ about his team’s campaign so far, how he views the game, and what he predicts for the rest of Lincoln’s season. How’s your season been so far? It’s been odd. For instance, if you offered us 15 points clear of the bottom three come February back in July, we’d have taken it all day long. However, circumstances dictate that some fans are not happy with recent developments. Obviously, losing our management team in September was a big blow and the pain from that is still evident amongst some fans. Michael Appleton has come into a tough job; how do you possibly better the most successful management team in our club’s entire history? He’s doing a good job - we were ...

Southend United v Gillingham - Opposition Fan Preview - Written by Lewis Browning Gillingham’s men will head to Roots Hall this Tuesday to take on a Southend side in absolute free fall. The game brings League One action and the Gills will be looking to register a win that will place them to within four points of the play-off spots and extend their unbeaten league run to 14 games. You can read our preview of the game here . We spoke to Southend journalist and fan Chris Phillips about United’s season so far, how he views Tuesday’s game, and what he sees in the Shrimpers’ future. How’s your season been so far? Absolutely horrific, to be honest. Everyone hoped staying up on the final day of last season would be a wakeup call and that the club could get some momentum from it, but that hasn’t been the case, and it’s got much worse. It’s been the season from hell, really, and up there with the worst I have known in 30 years. I can’t wait for it to end. And your form g...

Gillingham v Doncaster Rovers - Opposition Fan Preview - Written by Lewis Browning Gillingham’s men will play their first home league game for over two weeks on Saturday when they host Doncaster Rovers, a team just five points ahead of them and one they will want to beat if they want to continue their play-off charge and fine unbeaten league run, which now stands at 12 games. You can read our preview of the match here . We spoke to Rovers fan Adam Stubbings, who runs a fan site named ‘Into The Empty Net’, about his team’s season so far, what he expects from both teams on the day, and how he sees the rest of Doncaster’s season going. How’s your season been so far? It’s been encouraging, all things considered. We lost a lot of players in the summer along with the manager (Grant McCann) but have bounced back, recruited smartly and now, under, Darren Moore have shown the signs of turning a transitional year into one we can seriously push for a play-off place in. Matching ...

Blackpool v Gillingham - Opposition Fan Preview - Written by Lewis Browning Gillingham’s men will make the long trip up to Lancashire this Tuesday night to take on a Blackpool side just two places and three points behind them in League One. You can read our preview of the game here . We spoke to Seasiders fan site ‘The Blackpool Blog’ about their team’s campaign so far, their thoughts ahead of the game, and how they see the rest of Blackpool’s season going. How’s your season been so far? The season hasn't been going brilliantly for Blackpool and we lost 10 on the bounce prior to Saturday's win against Southend. It's really put everything into perspective and brought us back down to earth after a brilliant start. If Gillingham can put in a decent performance, we have folded relatively easily recently, but, then again, the win on Saturday could act as a pivot for our season. In reality, though, the side is the weakest it has been in years. Who are your key play...

Burton Albion v Gillingham - Opposition Fan Preview - Written by Lewis Browning Gillingham’s men head to Burton Albion this weekend in an important game that will catapult the winners well into the play-off fight. You can read our preview of the game here. We spoke to Brewers fan Edward Walker about his team’s season so far, how he views the game, and what he sees in Burton’s future. How’s your season been so far? It’s been going pretty much as I expected so far. League One is incredibly tight up and around the top and Burton have been involved in that play-off race for a while, though we’ve never looked like really cementing our place in there. And your form going into the game? Two defeats in nine League games, taking 17 points from a possible 27 in that time. The Christmas period was a near-perfect one for Burton Albion and we had gone five league games without defeat until Rotherham got a hard-fought 3-2 win over us on Saturday. Who are your key player...
