Walsall 1-1 Gillingham: A creditable draw

What a difference three days makes!

After Gillingham’s 3-0 capitulation at Barrow, a lot of people, including the fans, the manager and the owner, had a lot to say about the team, and what is going wrong, with the finger of blame pointed straight at the players.

It demanded a response and, at the Bescot Stadium on Tuesday night, we got one.

Gillingham showed all the fight, passion and commitment fans want to see from their team, as they battled to earn a 1-1 draw that, on another night (with a more competent official), could easily have been a win.

But the performance, and Robbie McKenzie’s 25-yard rocket, will serve as proof that better things could be ahead for the Gills, and on this week’s episode of The ME7 Podcast, James Hawkins takes the helm to chat about that performance, and the hopes for Saturday, when the team returns to Priestfield to take on Crewe Alexandra.

Could we be set for our first win of the John Coleman era?
